id say this has a lot to do with the recent bad European result .

According to the report in the Indo today the crowd were on his back at the end of the European match. Pity Collins has just taken over at Dublin City, I'm sure he would have loved this job

Have to say I'm surprised by that, god knows who they're going to get in.

No manager would be better than Kenny. The club should put Turlough O Connor in charge until the end of the season, and then have a hard look at the situation. It should be someone from outside the league, like Aldridge for example.

This is a bad situation for Bohs because they are doing well in the league

Bateman

Behind Drogheda isn't great, and it's not a European position either. And Cork have games in hand over Bohs. Shels have the league won. Bohs have a game in hand aganst Shels and still to play them twice, but show no signs of being able to beat them.

Bohs are doing **** in the leagu!. 2nd should be a bare minumum for a club in their situation and they certainly shouldn't be 10pts behind Shels and losing 3-1 at home to a club they drew away to and comprehensively knocked out of Europe just 3 years ago!

So who is in line to replace him?
Wouldn't surprise me if Roddy walked out on Dublin City in a week.
Then there's the likes of Jimmy McGeough and Harry McCue who are out of work.
Paul Doolin must be the favourite?

Heard Ronnie Whelan's name mentioned today.

Wouldn't surprise me either, given the fact that Bohs main sponsor Des Kelly has said that if Roddy comes back he'd invest much more money into the club. ( He's a close friend of Collins )

Collins is only contracted with Dublin City til the end of this season, and I can see Bohs hanging on for him to come back for the start of next season maybe, and appointing a caretaker in between times. Possibly Gill, the previous manager of City.

Paul Doolin would be a very wise choice, he has worked wonders with The Drogs this season, but he may wish to stay there, and finish what he has started. I Think they will run Shels very close for the title next season.

Bateman

Roddy won't be back, there's too much water gone under that bridge.
Whelan has ruled himself out.
Gary Howlett is doing the job until the end of the season, after that the board will evaluate the situation. Doolin, McCue, McGeough, King, Richardoson will all have their oar in, but I think it should be someone from outside the league, a change of direction.

There does seem to be a real managers merry-go-round in the LOI alright.

Bohs fans are a weird bunch of whiners, i have seen them slaughter Pats and still listen to their fans boo and bitch at their own players whilst winning well.

Sadly im annoyed they sacked him now as he is the number 1 man pats want as their manager but Johnny Mac is a legend so deserves a chance based solely on his career with Pats.

Bohs fans got him the sack once a few booed him the Chairman could easily sack him and say the fans werent happy as his excuse. Rumour has it Collins will be Rovers manager if Courney gets the club so i assume Bohs will want someone from outside the league as 1st choice.

Bohs have advertised the managers position CV's must be into dallymount by close of business friday. Get your CV's in everybody I would take the job but it would mean missing lots of pats games so they will have to do without me.

This was a silly move by the Boh's board, i can't see them getting anyone better. I've never been to Dalymount (for a Boh's match) but surely the fans have a part to play (don't take that personally Pigman, Bateman. Its only an assumption ). They have won 6 away matches in the league but only 2 at home. They also outplayed Levadia in Estonia and lose 3-1 back home. That seems a bit strange.

Silly short sighted move by Bohs. Kenny is a good manager. Remember, Bohs didnt start well last season either, and it was only after the half way stage that they made the comeback.

Yes the euro result was dissapointing, but lets be fair, Bohs were due a bad result in Europe (if u catch my drift - ie they cant progress every year and perform heroics).

ATTN Bateman: NO WAY do Shels have the league wrapped up. If Cork City win their 3 games in hand, we will be 2 points off, and will have to play them twice.

Bateman

Gimmick, I know Bohs also have to play Shels twice between now and the rest of the season, but problem is I haven't seen any sign in the previous two games that we are capable of beating them. It puts a little bit of heat on that Drogheda have dispensed with Cork, and become Shels' closest challengers, fair play to Doolin, but like Bohs, the pressure is on, Drogheda are a full-time team, if you don't realise that in the eL extra commitments come with that, then give up posting on this topic.

STEPHEN KENNY WAS THE LONGEST-SERVING MANAGER IN THE LEAGUE WHEN HE WAS SACKED.

He is the man who has practically made professional football at Bohs a thing of the past.

Eirebhoy, having been to Estonia, I thought we had outplayed them, and invested a lot of money in assuming we could beat them at home. It soon dawned on us that we had been wrong. It could take all night, but basically Levadia played it safe at home and then snatched an away goal at easy-to-win Dalymount. Bohs had no ideas because we are not motivated enough, and had a tactically inept manager. Kenny looks at the turf when things go bad. A bit like Dubya looking at the wall in the Kindergarten class. And then brings on Keddy.

As regards the fans playing their part, I was abusing Kenny viciously after the Levadia game (having resisted the temptation/obligation after some other horrific results, ie losing twice to Dublin City), and when the players walked out the lane past the fans, Kenny left the ground, and left Bohs, in a tinted windowed car with an escort of 8 stewards. And no need for any of it, as most has already written him off as a cowardly fool who had no place at Dalymount.


The thing that should be understood about Bohs fans giving OTT stick to a lot of players/managers is that we are a members club, WE OWN THE CLUB, and we elect the board of directors. There is no such thing as someone buying a place on the board at Bohs. Good or bad, that's the way it is. It is our club, we pay the PROFESSIONAL players' wages, and as long as they are supposedly training every day, while at the weekend displaying a complete lack of any ability to defend a set piece (or create anything from an attacking one), then some chancer sap of a manager will not last long.

eirebhoy

Is there any obvious reason why they probably have the best away record in the league but find it hard to win at home?
