Bring Back Don

**avvenalaf** · 02/11/2006, 1:05 PM

Well, we all knew it would end in tears when Connor took over from super coach Don O'Riordan. Promotion, cup semi final and sixth in the league. If that's the best that Connor can do, it's time to ditch him and bring back Don on another three year contract. I have watched Connor attempt to coach this team over the past two seasons and never once have I heard him shout SQUEEZE. How does he expect them to play?. Rescue Don from China and let him bring a few 5' 5'' centrehalves back with him.

nobody ever said bring back Don or any manager of his class.....

What many people are saying is this, and if it doesnt registor with you now it never will....
Conor may talk all he wants about 'this town' and 'the great club we are' but are ye all that naive to think this isnt just a stepping stone for him??? On the pitch he has rescued us from the era of Don, he brought us to where we are now...A top 5-6 club in Ireland. But his off the picth actions leave a lot to be desired.. He has a huge ego and he is in this for himself, Sligo Rovers will look good on his CV. Any man that claims to be the best manager in the country and asks why hes not linked to the Bohs job could easily be boed off the ****ing pitch by his current clubs fans.. Instead we give him the upmost respect! He has alot to learn about management yet, his mouth should stay shut at certain times...
I thank him for what he has done over the last 2 years and on that note id hand him the directions to Dublin, cause thats where he wants to be....

Don was a Legend, I remember him telling a sub to warm up and to go down and tell the Samba band to start playing again in an attempt to turn around a 2 goal defecit against Galway.
