Very interesting. Possibly this disproves that Fenlon is set to become our manager in November, and it indicates that we are looking for an experienced pro-manager.

I heard we talked to him, never offered him the job at all. So I don't think this is 100% true.

As for Fenlon, going on latest rumours I would be certain that it will be him. Hope I am wrong if not just shows that you can **** on us all you want and still get paid

Some bloke called Jim Duffy. He's turned it down which is a shame, but only because I was looking forward to the inevitable Circus headlines.

Have had it confirmed that the story is as was put to me "bull****".

Sad thing for Shels fans is that some of them actually think he's staying there beyond this season, not realising like most of us that he only stayed to pick up a winners medal at the end of the season. Ollie's usually clever enough to suss out these things but even he seem to be blind to the obvious

And he won't even get that.

Yeah you better not let us down now

As for Duffy,was never offered the job at all, did an interview Bohs were not interested. Most people down Dalymount way have a fair idea where all this is heading.

Well he's been pimping himself in his newspaper column for months

I think Bohs shud be aiming higher than an EL manager (no offence to EL managers) but a good quality manager like John Aldridge or Brian Kerr.

**Mr A** · 03/10/2006, 10:39 PM

I think they should just give Stephen Kenny the job back.

Is there anyone offering odds on the next bohs manager.

**Carlin** · 04/10/2006, 5:39 PM

Rumours (one of many) on the Bohs msg board that Sean Connor is in line for the job. Anyone hear anything about this?

**BohDiddley** · 05/10/2006, 7:08 AM

Duffy didn't turn down the job, because, he says himself, he was never offered it. As Gerry Conway says: 'People don't like to be linked with jobs they don't get. If I said to you for instance that we interviewed Alex Ferguson and he didn't get the job, he wouldn't be too happy.'

Heard that last nite too & then had a "I wouldnt be surprised" from a guy who is a mate of his.

**Dodge** · 05/10/2006, 8:11 AM

Actually talked to Nutsy about why he didn't go to Bohs. He said Bohs board wouldn't back him with transfer fees. Apparently his wages (and the wages made available for players) wasn't an issue but Bohs (rightly IMO) insisted on not paying transfer fees

I would of thought connor has bigger ambtionbs than bohs , who in their right mind would want that job , if you win the league it would be because of the money if you don't win the league you are aitomatically a bad manager because you f**ked up given the funds available , connor currently gets upset by 1 old boy in his seventies shoutring abuse at the team can't see him handling the bohs fans.

Bitter post. Very Bitter.
If a manager has big ambitions as I've heard Connor has, he's going to have to put up with fans who want success and want it yesterday. Its the nature of the game.
