Well whatever he did right in the start (buses to the games, articles/ads in the local papers) he is undoing right now, as is plainly evident from the falling attendences at the games, and this at a time when we are going for promotion. You can put that down to the brand of football we are playing or the disenchantment with Danny Drew/Noe O'Connor on a football level, but at the end of the day the buck stops with the chairman who hired the current manager and refuses to hear any criticism of him, or indeed his own policies.He must be doing something right.
As I said in my first post, the level of disinterest in this clubs results is pretty shocking, people still care about the club, but not about the backroom staff, so there is a conflict there. Until that is resolved I don't see attendence levels rising, and since Noel is apparantly signed on for five years then I do see the attendences dropping back to Pike standards within those five years. The old fans feel left out in the cold by Drew, and the new fans won't stick around for long watching the ball being kicked from one end of the pitch to the other. I know a few football fans in Limerick that generally think the Eircom League is a joke, but went along to a Limerick game to check it out, needless to say they won't be back. Why would someone coming to Rathbane for the first time want to watch a throw back to 80s style football?
I said it in the last post, and I'll say it again here, in the long run I will be proven right that Danny won't be a good thing for this club. The only way this won't happen is if Danny reads this at home, throws down his Transformer toys, starts banging his fists on the ground and vows to prove me wrong.
