It ain't so until it's on the offish. Seems done deal, hopefully.

 

Looking to be when not if

 

The bloke will be sacked by the time he’s officially announced.

 

Droll.

 

Maybe he’s still considering……

 

julien out

 

I see Damien Duff is free after walking out on league-of-ireland champions Shelbourne

 

Cant happen, not exotic enough, the song will be ****e,
Firstly Guiness and Potatoes rhymes even less than Estrella & Paella.
And secondly he even played for Chelsea.

 

Now that it has been confirmed that Marti had left it probably won’t be long until this is confirmed (if true)

 

If we can have, Marti considering for six months, surely we can have, Stephan pending for at least 3 months ............

 

Official, finally

 

Welcome Julien & good luck

 

Great news. A few new players in now you’d hope.

 

Welcome Julian and good luck to him and us.

 

Clive has obviously had this written for a while...long, in depth analysis

 

Welcome Stephan but surely you could have stayed pending a little while longer.

Hope you hit the ground, running.

 

I’d have liked to have seen him parachute into the centre circle to sign the contract five minutes before kick-off on the first day of the season.

 

So what was his conclusion? Is the oracle happy with this appointment, disappointed or sitting on the fence? It’s rather long…….

I read the bit about how the club is run on a European model with a coach rather than a manager. I like that. I also recall Clive saying some time ago that the perspective on Cifuentes seems split on age grounds …..the older fans blame Nourry the younger ones see more Cifuentes at fault. For once in my life I’m with the yoof on this.

Anyway he’s gone now so let’s move on, understand that we don’t have old school English ‘managers’ deciding on everything and adding to their income via brown envelopes any more, and welcome Julien!
