Dolan / Rico / Roddy ???

[Conor H]

Rumours saying Rico has both accepted and turned down the position!

Dolan / Rico / Roddy ???

Hire all three.

Put them in a house.

And make a reality show.

I'd watch it

Dolan's from Galway, great affinity with the place.

Dolan / Rico / Roddy ???

Dolan ruled himself out of other bigger posts recently to focus on his TV work.

If they're stupid enough to hire Shoddy they deserve to be relegated.

Maybe Rico would prefer to keep himself free for the Cork job, given the hash of it Matthews is making. Or the Bohs job, when Fenlon eventually gets rumbled again.

Pat wouldn't give up his Setanta gig easily. Not sure we could afford his hairdressing charges.

Not true, AFAIK he only turned down Derry

Everyone would watch it Dodge

Best of luck to Tony Cousins for the future. Thanks for your efforts with our club. For the record you leave having led the club on its longest ever winning sequence. Sorry it didn't work out in the Premier League.

Connor?

[Claret Murph]

We will no doubt get quite a few linked to the job , I have been told that it's a done deal with Rico but what do I know . I just hope Billy will get a run at it and I am sure a lot of Galway fans will want him above any other person to do well .

Heres one for the statos

Has any manager been sacked quicker, I mean four games in must be a record.

What do you think??????

[Sumac]

I think this stems from our performances last season as much as the opening 4 games this season. What was the most disappointing aspect for me was the poor fitness levels for professional players. We gave away a lot of poor goals under Cousins and the football was poor to watch last season.
Having said that I am grateful for what he did and wish him all teh best for teh future. Utd had stopped progressing under him.
If we can't get Rico, maybe Cork will take him and we take Matthews who might be better suited to a club which is not expected to do much this season,

It carried on from last season where the performances were poor and given our budget we only avoided the drop on the 2nd last day od the season.If you were there last saturday nght and witnessed the crap there was then you wouldnt be surprised hes gone.This is decisive leadership by Nick and the Board i feel,not a hasty reaction.

While that sounds like a knee jerk reaction when put in the context of a poor first season and carrying on in a worse vein this term it really isn't a surprise. This has been coming. There was a lot of talk locally last week that a loss on Saturday against Rovers would be the final nail in the coffin.

Heres hoping for Richardson.

It's a bit of a joke to be sacking your manager after four games IMO. Okay, they haven't had a great start, but surely they were in a position before the start of the season too decide if Cousins was the man for the job. If they felt he wasn't, that was the time to get rid of him. if they thought he was, then they should have stuck with him for a bit longer surely ? To dump him after four games smacks of panic stations.
