He's in Dublin this week as the FAI are hosting a dinner for former international players. That's probably what you heard. Rovers officials are supposedly meeting with him in Dublin.

I don't think Terry is the answer to our situation. I think if we're a professional club with pros on the books then it might make sense to give it to an experienced manager this time around.

Whether Roy Coyle is the right man i don't know, but someone like that with a bit of experience might be the way to go and ideally someone who lives on the island and isn't likely to head back to England when a job comes along.

Agreed. Someone who is excited about how great of a stepping stone this could be for him isn't really one I would trust to set the team up for long term success.

Terry Phelan would not be my choice...he doesnt inspire any confidence...i met him one and he never struck as a future football team manager (although that is not part of the criteria of being a good manager). His past record is poor and what extra would he bring to sligo?

You heard it here first lads...

Thats a surprise! Is it true?

**SligoBrewer** · 19/03/2007, 1:49 PM

wouldnt mind at all!

would he be player manager?

**red bellied** · 19/03/2007, 3:32 PM

Wasnt even on the bench, not sure if he has even started any of Derry games this season.

**Red&White Rover** · 19/03/2007, 3:44 PM

interesting...would he be up to it? Passionate anyway...

Doubt it!! He's still studying and to become a full-time manager would interupt. He is studying to become a social worker. Also he has some gas left in the tank and will want another league medal before he hangs up his boots. Somehow i doubt he'd win it at the Showgrownds. Pascal Vaudequin finished with Trojans (a local team) last week and he may well be your next manager
