Murphy is here for at least a season, whether we like it or not. For me, it was the worst possible appointment possible but I never really expected any different. He comes cheap, he gets on with the 'oul boyos', he is not the type of person who will stand up and demand changes. In other words, he is the perfect 'Yes man' that the board were looking for so that they can fleece us away for another season without anyone toppling their cart. This is why Mountfield was ousted, he held too much of a threat to the cronies. He was making too much changes.
An interesting comment was overheard in the Horeshoe before the Metalurgs game. Noel O'Mahoney (City director) was heard saying to a chum "Did ya see all them fools out there queuing for tickets?". This just sums up the arrogance of the board members. They feel they are untouchable in their little clique. And they are probably right, unless something drastic is done...
