Well said Tir. If you are reading this Jeff, welcome to Galway United. I wish you all the best in the world and I trust that you are confident in getting us up four places on the League Table.

And a run in the FAI Cup too.

Just looking around forums of his other clubs and it seems he is a sound bloke but has a very no nonsense attitude.

**superfrank** · 20/04/2008, 7:34 PM

I wish the best of luck to Jeff. I know his nephew and he sounds like a devoted, determined chap. AFAIK, he's being doing a bit of coaching for the last few years so he's not a complete amateur.

At least kenna won't bring a lot of baggage like say Pat Dolan or enemies like Sean Connor or spin like Roddy Collins. Hang on, did I just mix them up with each other?

A good appointment imo. Was a no nosense defender, reliable always gave 100%, just what we need now. Played at the highest level and hopefully will point out to some of our stars whats required of full-time professionals. After the debacle last night, allready looking forward to friday night.

I remember seeing an interview with him a couple of years ago. He said then that when he was finished playing he was going to retire to Spain, where he had some property and concentrate on his golf. Surprised by this turnaround.

**gufct** · 21/04/2008, 9:52 AM

He is live on gbfm after 11 news.

**eamo1** · 21/04/2008, 11:21 AM

Glad to see Billy installed as asst manager. He had us playing well during his few games in charge albeit to be let down defensively.

In fairness some of the actual performances haven't been that bad. Just let down by individual blunders in defence. A case in point the Cork game which United lost 3-1 yet actually probably played more football than Cork did only for our keeper to gift them their first two goals. Same with the Bohs game on the first day.

There is something there to work with but until United stop conceding soft goals and make themselves difficult to beat they won't start to climb the table.
