    Who's the contracted player? I'm guessing Wexler for obvious reasons?

    Thanks for eveything Alan. Unblievable loyalty, unbelievable glory, unbelievably service. Proper Town legend. I hope something will be done by the club, the county council and the town itself to honor him.

    Gutted, I was always a fan. I really don't think we'll strike gold third time out with a new manager.

    Above all, I'd like to thank Alan Matthews for his unwavering honesty and loyalty through-out his time with us, especially during this past nine months or so. To be fair, he was probably assured of budgets and all and sundry, but what was it worth given this season's turmoil and the fact that we never had enough done to get a straight license in three years.

    I think it is going to be very hard to gain promotion now. Rabbits out of hats time....

    sad news if its true.thanks alan for so many good times, which far outweighed the bad.
    he could have walked away long ago ,but stuck it out and fought with his players to the bitter end.for that and the fantastic cup wins he'll always be a town legend... THE town legend in fact
    .whos next?


    dark times ahead

    Just to repeat all positive things said above about Mathews... even more worried for the future now... but surely things can't get much worse.

    I was never his greatest fan but the level of dedication commitment time and most importantly THIS season in particular Loyalty he showed to this club was over and beyond the call of duty so Respect to him for that!

    Oh by the way give Trevor the nod and Vinny as assistant!

    In fairness to matthews, he has shown brilliant loyalty to this club, and that must be commended for that. Personally never liked him, thought he was tactically inept, played too narrow minded and defensively up to the end of this season and had nowhere near the same charisma/rapport with the fans that he should have.

    So the search begins for a new manager. Vinny should be a contender, afaik he has started on his coaching badges, and is well regarded in longford. Stephen Kelly might be another one that might enter the equation, and perhaps Trevor Crolly. **** it, might dust down the auld C.V myself, and Bosco as my assistant
