While it's great to see that clubs arent bending over for other clubs outside Ireland (Bohs with Dundee United, Cook turning down St Johnstone), I can't help but feel that it's the only way managers will get noticed. Not sure how many managers have gone to England from Ireland in recent times but reckon it's close to none. If a manager wants to be reckonised in Ireland then moving to Scotland and finshing 3rd is much better than winning the league in Ireland (with the biggest budget I might add). There has been plenty of examples of managers going from Scotland to England so the proof is there. ------------- "Napoleon chose his generals because they were lucky, not because they were brave" |

They are a complete mess from top to bottom. Players discipline out the window, no money, chairman at war with his board and the rest. 8 managers in 5 years, with only Mowbray lasting a year - and even then not a full season. I would also doubt the money would be that much better, certainly not enough of a bump to relocate three young kids.
It will happen at some point I would guess, but unlikely this time.

Some pretty bad examples there though, all have either come back after poor spells in charge of their clubs or finished managing all together. What I meant when I said no manager has gone to England is no manager has gone and succeeded/ is still there.
It actually proves my point that if you wanna stand a chance of moving up in management terms then going to the SPL is probably a better choice than staying in Ireland. ------------- "Napoleon chose his generals because they were lucky, not because they were brave" |

Its wishful thinking on your part. The salient reality is the bigger clubs in the league can retain their manager when the SPL come knocking. Cooke and odds on MON. The mid table sides like Bohs have to fight to hang onto theirs. MON will manage a bigger club than Rovers at some point. But it wont be the soups this time round ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

Bohs didn't have to fight when Fenlon was linked with Dundee United, they gave a price and it wasn't met, simple as, not much of a fight if you ask me as we were happy to see him move on but didn't bend over for them so your sly dig was missed.
It doesn't concern me who manages Rovers or anyone for that matter other than Bohs but the stark reality is managing Hibs is going to do more for your career than managing in the LOI. I think this is the best it will get for Rovers europe wise so winning the league with a huge budget year in year out will prove nothing. He should take this chance to move on and better himself otherwise he could end up like Fenlon, would Dundee United come looking for him now? Prob not. ------------- "Napoleon chose his generals because they were lucky, not because they were brave" |

On its knees? Bit dramatic there. The new SPL TV deal from SKY/ESPN just signed will see all SPL teams get in TV money what Shamrock Rovers turn over in a year.
Hibs have a world class training facility that they spent something like £6 million on. They've a good stadium with a brand new stand completed and are a full time outfit, unlike Rovers. You have eight games a year against Celtic and Rangers and overall it's a better standard of football.
I'm sorry but this stadium pees all over anything in Ireland and they actually own that 20,000 seater stadium and built it themselves. People forget Scotland is a country with 5 million people, it's made something like seven European finals with Celtic, Rangers, Dundee United and Aberdeen, it punched above its weight for a long time and even with that they've had two Euro finals in the last decade. Name me one country with five million people that's done that? People compare Scotland to England. They have 10% the population of England ffs!

 He's playing for a club with a modern 20,000 seater stadium, 10,000+ at every game. Who in the LOI has that?
Look at the training complex he'll be working in every day, we won't be expected to do a handyman job here like in the backward LOI and you even get paid on time at Hibs, imagine that

Ha ha - are people serious saying that Pat Fenlon has taken a step down by moving from Bohemians to Hibernian? That's mental talk.... Best of luck Pat....a bit of an asshole to deal with, which was a big letdown for me cos I used to love Pat when I was a kid playing on the wing for St Pat's....but he is one angry f**ker with the world. That's just his character...it's probably an attribute that makes him a great manager, he;s never satisfied! I hope he does well in Edinburgh (a great city to live in even if it's atmosphere is a little overrated, it's a stunning looking city)....but the chances are he will find it tough. Successful managers who have moved to Scotland in the past have all been let go within two years..... ...and for the record, it's a massive step up! A huge climb up the ladder. he;s gone from a semi-professional league, to a professional league for starters!

Yeah it's not their crest though, it's a tiny harp that's on the crest, they couldn't care less about their Irish roots. That's up to them.
Celtic will always have that connection, the fans are passionate about it, Ireland is in the heart. They love to see an Irish player make it at Celtic. I think it's great how Celtic is the only club in Britain and Ireland to wear the National Famine Memorial Week crest every season. I think it's a nice touch.

Well he has been there for 3 weeks and only played 1 game so he has had plenty of time on the training pitch to access his players and get them playing the way he want them too. The fact he has only played the 1 game in 3 weeks in certainly a good thing for Fenlon as he can drum into his players his ideas. I am wishing him well, i'm actually delighted to have a Irishman in the SPL but he needs to win the HIbs fans over early, a lot of Hibs fans didn't know who Fenlon was when he was appointed and they are a fickle bunch. I have lived in Edinburgh a few years ago and went to Easter road a few times during the McLeish era, he wasn't really the fans choice when he took over but he brought in some quality signings from the start and got them on side. ------------- Say nothing till you hear more |

Pat Fenlon has a serious job on his hands, he has inheritated a team that are simply terrible. They haven't won a game since October. The defence this season has been so poor, Paul Hanlon who was the shinning light from last season and had been rumoured to be interesting Premier League clubs looks like a Sunday League player. The midfield looks pedestrian and they are simply not scoring enough goals. I was a bit suprised that O'Connor was dropped to the bench today he looks there best bet for a goal. The signing of Doyle could be an astute signing for Fenlon who could form a good partnership with O'Connor if he stays, but he urgently needs to strenghen his defence and needs a decent holding midfielder. The Goalkeeper Stack also don't inspire confidence to his defence. Hibs would struggle to survive in the Airtricity League, Fenlon is lucky that Dunfermline are so poor. ------------- Say nothing till you hear more |

Its very hard to see any positives with Hibs on recent performances. The abandoning of his 1st game when Hibs were leading is a huge regret for Fenlon. You do feel that he needs to get a result under his belt. its hard to see that with the current line up. New faces are needed. ------------- Say nothing till you hear more |

Hibs have few big games coming up, Cowdenbeath in the cup this weekend. Fenlon needs to win this game to turn the tide before the 6 pointer against Dunfermline the following week. Hibs need to put some points between them and Dunfermline. He still needs to bring in 3 or 4 players prior to the Dumfermline game. ------------- Say nothing till you hear more |

Made hard work of that lot today. Fenlon will be gone soon if he doesnt improve the team fairly lively. Has f**k all to work with though ------------- Galway Will Win The 2014 Hurling Championship |
