2024 Season, Arrivals and Departures

[placid casual]

I can’t see Fenlon and Kenny cohabiting very well for some reason.

And I can’t fckin stand Reynolds. And he hates us.

I actually think Reynolds could be a good choice of manager for youse stu,he doesn't take any $h1t by the looks of it.
I'm praying you give it to Perth tho ,the level of ensuing comedy would be a joy to behold.

[ontheotherhand]

Reynolds also seems quite content being an assistant as well. That was the role he wanted to move to Derry for. He might be like Crolly in that regard. He was also approached about the Bohs job last time around and turned it down as well. Devine was 3rd choice if memory serves.

My money is on it being someone from the NIFL or someone a bit from left field ( we know how left leaning Bohs are ) like Stephen Rice who has been rumoured for other jobs that didn't end up opening up

Ricer would be an interesting one. Is he free now after Kenny got the boot? Don't think he was still with Palace while he was doing the analysis for Ireland.

Honestly no idea but I couldn't see the FAI standing in his way when the new international manager (whoever they may be) will likely have a preference for who fills the opposition analyst role anyway.

He was mentioned in the Indo as a potential candidate so make of that what you will along with Reynolds, O'Donnell (strange one tbh), Kenny, Ian Barraclough and Curtis Flemming.

Still early days so names are being thrown around to fill columns but my hope is someone is announced the week of the Rovers game and gives the squad and fans a much needed boost. There were boos at the first game v Sligo which really puts into perspective how people felt coming into the season.

Yeah I don't think he has anywhere else to go. Bohs, Dundalk or wait for Derry. He made a bit of money but he's a football man and will want to get back in the game I think.

Kenny prob has his mortgage cleared, bill no 1 in life gone, so he won't be under pressure, but I'd say for his own interest in the game, and for a challenge he will want to get back in.

However he wasn't even mentioned for the Aberdeen job, and he managed in SPL before, even Lincoln City fans online seemed to be dead against his links pre xmas, so what are his options?

[Knocklyonhoop]

Stephen O’Donnell being mentioned as a possibility for the Bohs job….. bizarre surely

[Nesta99]

Mybe he just knows when to get out after taking a team as far as he can!

[Another Bohemia]

Stephen O’Donnell being mentioned as a possibility for the Bohs job….. bizarre surely

Very odd but it's very early days so names are needed to fill the column inches.

[sbgawa]

I reckon Reynolds is nailed on for it tbh.
Fenlon is bound to want someone he can work with after Devine and Reynolds has proven he can do that.

[oriel]

Stephen O’Donnell being mentioned as a possibility for the Bohs job….. bizarre surely

Just a bit !!! He'd be better suited focusing on the current mess he is charge of and how to turn that around, as if he can't (and that's a real possibility he won't be able to), it won't leave him well placed for other roles.

[total hoofball]

Not a chance Kenny or SOD would be happy to work under Fenlon's control and telling them whom to sign. Also I can't see Rice being welcomed back with open arms into Dalymount by alot of the Bohs fans

Reynolds seems to be potential appointment that would make sense for working under Fenlon as DOF while having experience and credibility in any coaching or managerial role. Rennie was rated very highly at Shels as Ian Morris's assistant during our immediate bounce back First Division title winning season in 2021

[cláirseach]

Unless I'm badly mistaken I think people might be well past the distaste for Rice. Reynolds himself isn't too popular in D7. Neither is significant though imo.

[Martinho II]

Stephen Rice for now is still involved with the FAI in his usual role as per JOS. Heard again Richard Dunnes interested. But hard to call imo

[Jack B]

Surely the Flora Talinn manager is a shoe in?

[Glen Of Aherlow]

Surely the Flora Talinn manager is a shoe in?

The Duffer was surely dropping a big 'come and get me' hint the other night wearing his Palestine flag pin

[bluemovie]

It won't be Reynolds. He won't take a number one job. I'd say he got a call from Fenlon about it though.

[ger121]

Irish Times and Indo both saying we are speaking to Kenny. I mean he might want to stay out of football for a while and see what other opportunities come up but who knows what options he’ll have and when they might be. The UK market or Europe has hardly been a gold mine for Irish managers. If he does want to manage in the LOI again, then your options tend to be limited due to the number of clubs and vacancies at any one time. I’d be surprised if he does go for it but would be delighted if he did.

[Martinho II]

Surely the Flora Talinn manager is a shoe in?

Why Flora Talinn mgr?

[Shinkicker]

Why Flora Talinn mgr?

Did you really have to ask the question?

Rennie is the assistant for the men’s Ire U21s. He’d have to give that role up to take a managers job. Rennie’s best work and success came whilst he was an assistant. Probably one of the best assistants in the league. Rennie is a fantastic coach

As an assistant I think he won the FAI Cup three times, the First Division twice and the League Cup. As a manager he won the First Division and came runner up in the FAI Cup. (Open to correction).

Why Flora Talinn mgr?

He is butter than the other options.
