Presumably he won't apply for the Pats job at this stage but I'd imagine he would be well done the preferred list of candidates anyway.

He was at Pat's before, I think. Very briefly. Was he manager when they drew 0-0 with Celtic?

Darren Quigley to Fingal on loan, apparently! They'll walk the division next year. In fact, I think they'll go boom towards the end and still have enough points to have won it.

Mahon was assistant to Dolan for those games. He was expected to take over after them, but had a falling out with Dolan and walked/got kicked out. Never actually managed us

Let's hope Buckley is as good at managing a talented squad and massive budget as Johnny McDonnell.

**Dodge** · 10/01/2009, 2:01 PM

Well last time he tried that he won the league...

**DRDoc** · 10/01/2009, 4:34 PM

any word, or rumour even, on where Fitzgerald and Bolger will be next season?

**pineapple stu** · 12/01/2009, 10:28 AM

Nope. FItz was talking about going back to Bohs. Obviously he wouldn't get in their team last year, but this year, you never know!

Will Bolger not be with us still?

McFaul is gone to Fingal per RTÉ. Training back this evening.

Apparently he has applied, and will probably get the job...

**pineapple stu** · 12/01/2009, 2:56 PM

Hmmm...

Do we get to keep Martin Russell?

**Dodge** · 12/01/2009, 3:04 PM

Dunno, rumour very fresh off the grapevine

That's not a rumour Danny, that's the reality as of 4pm today

**John83** · 12/01/2009, 4:13 PM

********.

**pineapple stu** · 12/01/2009, 4:16 PM

Martin Russell comes in, we move on. We have a structure in place to deal with it. Kind of like the Boot Room at Anfield, in a pompous, compare-us-to-the-Premiership-cos-it's-cool kind of way.
