    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Should definitely be Paul Cook, not Pat Fenlon who will end up getting it.

    Why Paul Cook? Sligo only got to Europe because Cork were bold boys. Considerting he has won 1 cup, and is in the final of another, I voted for Stephen Kenny

    It has to be Fenlon. Look objectively at it.

    He brought in some quality and won the league(possible double) smashing the record points total with only the 4th highest budget.

    Im not a fan of the man myself and overall I think Cooks a better manager but you have to look at the year and what he's achieved. Bohs have been incredible

    Fenlon wouldn't have achieved what Cook achieved at Rovers or what Kenna achieved at Galway.

    How can people vote for Cooke over Fenlon? Bohs have been light years ahead of everybody this season with a similar budget to some of the other big sides so Fenlon wins hands down.

    And would either of the above have achieved what he did at Bohs? Highly doubt it.

    The question isnt who's the best manager overall, it's manager of the year.

    oops...jumped straight in and voted before reading the first post. Kenny has done a very good job this season. If Bohs beat us in the cup final, I'd give it to Fenlon. If not, still think he's done an excellent job at Bohs this year.
    Robbie Hedderman. Arguably the greatest Derry City player of all time...

    thank you - finally some well thought out plaudits from an opposition fan for what Fenlon has achieved this season.

    I will give my vote to Cook. Great job this year.
