    He has signed NOTHING yet - a lot of the media are jumping the gun.

    Derry Chairman Quoted as saying "We ARE delighted to have stephen back at the Brandywell"
    Sounds pretty decisive to me

    He has agreed personal terms, but there are still some other issues which need resolved.

    Regardless of what the papers are saying, he hasn't signed any contract yet.

    If you read my first post again you'll see that I've said he WILL sign this week
    never said he'd signed yet

    And I never questioned your post.......some media outlets are claiming he is the new manager, when he isn't yet. It is those reports that I am clarifying

    Exactly Gustavo.

    Despite what the media are reporting, he has not signed yet.....

    Will he be allowed back in Derry, he didn't exactly leave on great terms with some of the locals?

    There will always be a few dissenters but the reaction is overwhelmingly positive.

    After Frodo and Robbo people just want us playing football for a change.

    There will unfortunately be huge, and unrealistic, expectation when Kenny returns....

    Most people I know were very disappointed of the timing of his departure.

    Anyhow, if he is back, then no better man for the job. Hopefully, he will see it as a longterm project allied to the Brandywell Properties development. We need stability, the only expectation I have is that he gets the players bonded like he did before and gets them playing for each other again. As long as I see that displayed I'll be happy enough. Progress should be gauged by fans over a 2-3 year period. The problem is - will SK visualise himself at the Brandywell in 2 years?

    After Fenlon's dismantling of any type of football and atmosphere at the Brandywell I am delighted he is likely to come back. Robertson was never interested in it and most people realised this after 3months affecting everything around the club.

    Didn't follow that closely but there seems a lot of the team he put together have moved on. Does he need to completely rebuild of will he be able to be competitve with what's there now?

    In typical football fan speak, we need 4-5 players.....

    Chances of his Dumfermline signings (like Horseface Ryan) moving with him back to the Northwest?

    I would say he is on a hiding to nothing. Expectations will be too high especially in his first season. How long before he looks abroad again?

    Victim of his own success. We've seen what he can do in Ireland with Longford and Derry so of course expectations will be high.
