Transfer window signings/rumours

**Dodge** · 08/06/2007, 1:18 PM

Kerr is basically in charge of the whole club. Whatever he wants, he gets.

**Sheridan** · 08/06/2007, 1:20 PM

Is he? I didn't know that, I thought he was a titular director of football or something. Is that entirely wise, considering he'd cut and run in an instant if a suitable managerial job came up?

It might be more of a consultancy role until the Shelbourne Development people have an idea about football. All I know is that I'm a lot happier with Brian Kerr involved in the club.

Wouldn't read too much into Kerr having a coffee/drink with one of his ex players. LOI football in Dublin is a very small world, he was probably asking him about a couple of ex Shels players we're more han likely to sign on July 1st

No Kerr, no Kelleher was pretty much the deal as I understand it. According to what was said at the announcement, Kerr turned the job down for a while so as not to step on Johnny's toes.

Some guy posted on our forum about Mark Rooney. Whats he like pats fans?

**Sheridan** · 08/06/2007, 2:04 PM

He's fast. Not as fast as he used to be, though. Other than that he's pretty ineffective and usually anonymous (particularly when the studs are flying.) He does have a good engine, but it's in his fancy car.

I think even that is being generous to him. Seems a nice enough guy though

He's a headless chicken!

That's a bit harsh on headless chickens.

No he isnt - he might be lacking a bit of skill but hes actually a pretty intelligent player or at least he was when he was with us. Maybe he has dumbed down in accordance with the surroundings at pats.

**Dodge** · 08/06/2007, 2:59 PM

Well last year, when we were **** and played rubbish football, he looked out of his depth

This year, when we're top of the league and playing lovely football, he's totally out of his depth

Tries hard though. Good luck to him in Dundalk

**Red4Eva** · 08/06/2007, 3:03 PM

I maybe wrong here but giving a team talk at half time isn't exactly keeping his distance

Pretty much like when he was with us although I don't think he had a fancy car then.

**hoopy** · 08/06/2007, 5:36 PM

If he was then Johnny won't get any sympathy from me if things go t*** up

But that's my point - Kerr knew he was never going to ignore team affairs if he came back to Pats and thought he could make a difference.

Have you heard anything definite about him moving?

Not them its ******** *** who will be running the club, and a look at their team shows they know full well how to run a club from the ground up.

Kerr also had a chat with Houllier, could be our new manager or maybe it was the Coaching seminar.

Houllier for Pats . . .

Ive heard it all now from pats fans . . . .

Even were it not for this comment I cant help but feel pats fans (those on here in particular) are not living in the real world
