Sorry, we should take lectures from Shels fans about protesting against spoofers running our club into the ground?

Shocking news if it happens

No club has properly entertained him as a manager since Shamrock Rovers were taken in. He can't even get a meeting with a club unless he promises to give them cash. Kilkenny decided that going out of the league was a better option than giving The Rod a chance

Haha, fair enough so. Even when we were in the **** we still told Roddy to **** off

Without wanting to insult Longford Town I fail to see why a Dublin property developer with no apparent connections to Longford would want to run the club. Low catchment base means hardly a sleeping giant sitting on valuable development land...

LTFC are a members club and therefore any proposed take over will have to be voted for by the members. So any LTFC supporters who are not members yet and would HATE to see Shoddy as manager or have any part in the club join now and have your say at the members meeting. VOTE NO TO RODDY!

Be prepared to see a seriously unfit team who go for walks on the beach instead of training. Funny that the property developer is a Bohs fan putting money into Longford.

Not prepared to have Roddy's grubby mitts over our club. No to Shoddy Collins! And keep Aaron and Vinny as management duo whatever happens.

Luckily for the players there are no beaches in Longford ...

Oh wait, isn't there 100s of lakes, I am sure Shoddy the spoofer will find a suitable one!

tbh Jerry, I can see point, but to say that after spending years trying to build the club that they would rather go out of the league that let Roddy Collins take over is in imo highly unlikey. But then again, you'd never know!

There were not great options, Roddy or Fold?, but I know which I'd pick if I had to. Its no fun when you have no team to follow

"After two years of proving his acumen in the Eircom League, he hopes to get more money together with further investors with a view to purchasing a club in England -- while maintaining his links with Longford, which could end up acting as feeder team to his cross-Channel operation."

Im sure UEFA and the FAI will have a thing or two to say about that. This is going to go bellies up! Poor Longford, I really fear for that club now.

As said above, if you are not a member become one...........FAST !!!

This is bad news. perhaps the developer is interested as there is a large asset there ( Flancare Park ) and land not developed yet with planning permission applied for.

**Postman** · 12/03/2008, 11:04 AM

Roddy - the manager who wanted his Rovers team to stay the night in Cork after the game and not before. Half of them missed the bus the next day they were so ****ed. This guy is the lowest of the low. Everything he touches turns to sh#t. If the Longford board get sucked in they deserve everything they get. Question to the Longford fans - who own the land the stadium is on? This is the only thing worth anything so whoever owns the land will make the decision I would imagine.

Two thumbs down from me anway as a member. I don't want Roddy anywhere near us, we were surviving without his promised millions, we'll survive without them.

**amaccann** · 12/03/2008, 11:09 AM

Ah Roddy Collins.
<gerry adams>he hasn't gone away you know</gerry adams>
