    There were a lot of rumours around the last few days that he would quit..he doesnt have a contract[fact] and the budget wasnt exactly satisfactory for him.

    Is this the 1st time a manager has quit before managing a league game?

    I was hoping he'd stay till Friday so we could embarass him and Sligo!

    whatever...

    anyway just when i think we couldnt get any more screwed this happens.

    Why would anyone in Sligo go watch a team with a ground looks more like the car park on Connaughton Road than a football stadium,where the board wont even give the manager a contract,also we have 1 striker on our books....no assistant manager...no floodlights..a pitch that looks like my back garden.[i dont cut the lawn].general incompetence everywhere you look. a joke of a football club at the moment.

    Sad to hear WR, but surely there must be some good news around the corner?

    Supporting your club on the road against your neighbours will easily make you forget about the current climate at the Showgrounds.

    Then again after we beat ye the 2hour drive might be a very long one!

    exactly....the road will allow us to forget all

    everyone is going with low expectations so we don't have too much to lose except pride if they do us proud it will be a hell of a day.i really cant wait for it,manager or no manager

    supporters should call for an EGM and ask what the hell is going on, Im sure there is plenty of questions that needed to be answered and quickly.
