Big assumption saying Whelan knows anything about the LOI, he's never played in it. I'm sure he'll be delighted with St Pats cup win yesterday though. Sam Curtis, Adam Murphy and Mason Melia are three top talents at St Pats. Recently noticed that Mark Doyle ( who scored in the cup final) is out-of-contract at the end of the Month and I reckon he would do well over here in L1/L2. ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-wpqdDXMAAUUX0?format=jpg&name=large) Decent day out.

Coventry did it too. Played some slick football when they got promoted out of this league They also had a championship ready squad which Robins had built over the previous season. Watched them a few times that year and I agree, lovely football. I use Mark Robins and what he done at Coventry alot as an example of what can be achieved if you take time and have some patience. Robins got Coventry ready for Championship football so they wouldn't come straight back down and for me that was what Joey was trying to do but that ship has sailed and now we have to start again. Mangan isn't the right choice in my opinion but will support him if he gets the gig but we have a very talented squad and with 1 or 2 additions in January could really make a good go of this season. I would love for it to be Monk but can see the board going for Robinson or Mangan and should be making the appointment later this week so there is plenty of time to work with the players before our next league game.

Has done as well as can be expected at Rotherham. Would be worth an interview surely.

The decision needs to be made soon. A new manager will have just over Six weeks before the January window opens. As we know, its not easy to get players in during January and with squad size restrictions some will need to be let go. Others who are out of contract in the Summer will want to know where they stand, at the same time there is the job of trying to improve on our currently decent position in the table, quite a balancing act and I don't envy them.

Not an easy decision to make but after sacking a manager you have to have a plan . Leaderless is rudderless if it carries on too long .

Perhaps the plan was always to give Mangs the job and they made sure JB was dismissed before an easy looking run of fixtures? If they are undecided surely they'll wait and see how he gets on v Derby and R2 of the FA Cup?

They also had a championship ready squad which Robins had built over the previous season. Watched them a few times that year and I agree, lovely football. I don’t often say it but they were good to watch when they were at the mem. I didn’t and don’t really pay much attention to other teams squads but I remember thinking how slick they looked and made us look pedestrian. I think we got JCH from them too. Makes me wonder if he is worth pursuing given that they sold him and now another team wants him gone. It seems they do not see him as a championship player. The player that impressed me most in that team was Liam Walsh. He ran the show that afternoon, and scored a really good goal He was on loan from that lot down the road. Currently at Swansea.

I dont think you can ever wait too long if it means getting the right person for the job

If they are undecided surely they'll wait and see how he gets on v Derby and R2 of the FA Cup? That’s leaving things too long surely? The new co-owner stated JB was sacked as we weren't challenging the top 8 (or words to that effect) if we lose to Derby, who are presently 7th, are we really going to break into the top 8 under Mangs, if not, then could the likes of Robinson achieve it? It's pointless appointing Mangs then in a fortnight the Board realising he's not going to achieve their aims this season?? What's going to really happen if we wait anyway as I can't see Mangs getting in a strop and walking out if he's not given the job?

The longer this drags on the more I think Mangan will be given the job.

Sounds like an older version of Garner, with virtually zero league managerial experience. Last week they were apparently going to appoint that Irish manager, I wonder what their fans make of the appointment?
