Next GUFC Manager?

**wonder88** · 02/04/2008, 5:21 PM

Is last seasons waterford manager G Cronin doing anything. Thought he did a good job. This squad need someone to whip them into shape. There is plenty of talent there already I think, lovely playing surface and ground, all there is needed is someone with the basic management and coaching qualities. Find a hungry young guy who is desperate to succed, or else get Tony Manion back. What we don't need is a "big name" manager, they don't work at this level.

He's still manager of Waterford - I think 1 or 2000 Waterford fans would disagree with the job he did for them...

Connor?????

What an inspired apointment that would be.

I'm sure Steve Bruce will put in a word for him.

The whole country were so impressed with the job TC did in Galway,I'm sure they are all fighting to sign him up. What would we know down here in the sticks, we only had to watch the crap week after week. Give him a job Pat if you think he's so good. Put up or shut up

Yeah i'm getting a bit sick of the media and all the managers coming out saying Cousins was hard done by. 99.9% of United fans agreed with the decision to let him go. Crap like " we didn't look out of place" doesn't work here anymore, we want someone with ambition, someone who wont blame bad results on geography.
Everyone was sick of Cousins lame excuses. He took the job, it was up to him to produce results, he failed miserably.
The next manager has to instil a bit of mental toughness after TC'S " sure we're doin alright for a crowd from de country" attitude

Lads paper never refuses ink.

In the same paper Pat Dolan has a go at the club for letting him go as well. Then in a different article he say well done to Mexico for letting there manager go for not getting results.
