    Roddy for Shels?

    Rumours on the Shels web that Roddy is the most likely new manager.
    He should be warned, he could lose the shirt off his back going there. Or did Oilly not already remove it?

    Just when you thought things couldn't possible get any worse for Shels....!

    They're well-suited though : a Manager that no club is willing to touch with a barge pole, and a club that no Manager/player is willing to touch with a barge pole. Match made in heaven.

    I await the promises of multi-million pound investment from all Roddy's imaginery 'connections'......

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    In fairness there are no other options at this stage. Ollie needs someone equally desparate as himself at this stage.

    Shelbourne fans should revolt before this happens, Roddy Collins is the last man you need on board when you are trying to cut costs.

    In fairness, it's hardly Pat Dolan we're talking about here!

    A Manager can only spend what the Board signs-off.

    The question isn't wheteher Roddy would spend, but whether Ollie would ever sail back from Fantasy Island long enough to tell him to spend within the club's means.

    Whatever little respect I had for Shels has now vanished. Do clubs here ever learn from history?

    Dont forget this is the mule who said the whole league was really rubbish in one of his articles after Cork were knocked out of Europe.

    Wouldnt like to see Shels go to the wall but a stint in the first division would do no harm and no better clown to lead you there than the rodster.

    Roddy never got anyone relegated. Not Carlisle, not Rovers, not Dublin City, not no-one, not no-how.

    What did he actually say that time? something like "i got loads of experience in the relegation dog fight" or words to that effect

    Priceless stuff !!

    In Roddy's first season at Bohs , he took over about 1/3 the way through after the disastrous Joe McGrath and Eamonn Collins regime. He guided them through the Promotion and Relegation play offs to Premier Division safety in 1998/99 season. That may be what he was referring to. Plus Carlisle didn't actually go into the conference while he was there.
