Vinny Perth, who has been Kenny’s number two since he took the reins at Oriel Park just over six years ago, is believed to have returned from Galway to meet the Dubliner face to face. Perth signed a three-year deal last season and is one of the front runners to replace Kenny, even though he does not hold a pro-licence.
Assistant coach Ruaidhri Higgins, who turned down a move to Derry City recently, is also under contract for the next two seasons and is likely to be part of any new management set-up.
From a playing point of view, Dundalk are entering the Christmas period in a position of strength. New deals for Dane Massey and Robbie Benson are in the pipeline with O’Donnell and Ronan Murray the only squad members currently mulling over their future.
Treacy is understood to have flown in from Chicago for a meeting with players and staff members in the Ballymascanlon on Sunday evening and with pre-season just over five weeks away, the League of Ireland champions are determined to press ahead with business and not become sidetracked by the events of recent days.
How can Vinny be one of the front runners if he doesn’t have a pro licence? It’s not possible at the moment (barring the FAI not enforcing their own rules, which I suppose is a slim possibility). I wouldn’t give it to him yet anyway with the options that Dundalk will have. I always liked him as a person from the limited engagements I had with him, and from everything everyone has ever said about him, he was loved at LTFC. But I think he may be better off proving himself somewhere else if he actually wants to be a manager.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Are Dundalk unhappy with Kenny leaving? Able to release statements about squad players leaving but not a word on the best manager they've ever had......
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Complete lack of respect shown if that was the case,Kenny has to take part of the blame aswell not only one side in the negotiations.

Just released a statement!!

Best of luck Kenny. Big loss to the league. As a fellow League of Ireland supporter, may I offer some advice recommend Roddy Collins for the position he leaves behind.
Its a massive gap to fill, but there is noone more qualified than Roddy to carry on Kennys work. Roddy has experience at many LoI Ireland clubs over the years and is definitely the right man to lead Dundalk forward into a new prosperous era of success.
There's a protocol there in football, which involves a club being asked before another party speaks to their under contract manager/player.
It wasn't Kenny's job to do that task for the FAI.
Ironic that the governing body of Irish football aren't even setting an example re the rules here.
