No, Rovers apparently have sounded him out about it.

I said I'd like to see Harry Kenny get the job to my dad earlier. I know I'm not the only one but we're probably a minority? There's other guys out there with more LOI experience.

What about Stephen Kenny as next Shels manager?

Hearing things about Staunton having his name in the hat and being considered. Willing to work for cheaper than most seemingly.

I hear Sean Connor is available.

Great manager, and he knows Steve Bruce.

About as welcome as Matthews at Rovers Id say!

Not one bit shocked that Kenny has gone . It was only a matter of when in the end as I feel after the season Rovers had last year and with the players they brought in during the off season it has been a very poor season for Rovers.

Egil Østenstad is in the running. Flying in next week.

Just seen something on facebook to that effect too!

After the Matthews reign of terror, I could probably just about take him in.

I'd say it's mainly down to club officals.

The kitman has been very poor this season and his defending has cost them a lot of goals from set pieces.

The groundsman has been very poor in goal. Very little communication with his back four.

Club treasurer hasn't been chipping in with the goals either when Twigg has been out of form.

Nice one but rovers might be closer to the top of the table if they had used the kitman,groundsman and the club treasurer in their starting 11 instead. .
How much fault should be on the manager? Players? and maybe the club officials for giving Kenny the job in the first place? Did he have the full support of the club?

Well, there goes our next 2 seasons transfer funds.
Much deserved though, Rico being the only LoI merry-go-round manager id be happy with.

Wasn't he on a full time contract? Over 2 years left on a 100k wage, not a bad pay off I'd say, I should have popped into the Sub for his round tonight after work.

Kevin Kilbane will no doubt through his hat in like a lot.

Of course they would, that is why he is there.

It is also why Con Murphy is there. Fools will thrown away cents/few euros on it. 100% profit for Paddy Power.

Matthews 15/2 now for all you doubters.

In fairness, that's probably based on Paddy Power reading the Shelbourne forums.

Better value than Scully at 18s.

super_furry

If we're talking daft prices Roddy at 25/1 is just insane. Fairly certain the manager will be from outside of the league.

Word is he is going to be on a shortlist of 4 to be interviewed

Yes, word is he'll met along with Jock Stein, Steve Staunton and Baron Von Count from Sesame Street.

Magilton, Matthews, Cunningham and Richardson is what I heard myself

thank you agent kenny. you done us proud.:D

Wonder if Fenlon's missus is in his ear saying there is a job at home.

33/1 could shorten.

Personally think he would be mad to leave but his family are still in Dublin

super_furry

The board already snubbed Fenlon once and he's had a decent start to the season with Hibs.

Already into 5/1

When was he snubbed? He took the Hibs gig before Kenny took over

what would it actually take to move Fenlon from 33/1 to 5/1 in that market? i'd say less than 100 quid. Like that could literally be 1 fella putting 50 quid on him at 33's and they have to shift him in to 5's!! I think Next Manager markets are a disaster, punters surely can't win in them!!

I think it was that Fenlon was waiting to see if he would get the job when it was clear MON wasn't going to sign another contract last season. Board said no, so he went elsewhere.

Fenlon's had a great start to the season with Hibs, be mad to leave

The only people to win on these markets are people with inside sources. The bookies are happy to pay out a grand here and there when they have idiots putting a tenner on Keane at 66s.

The bookies clean up at these markets

Kenny cleaned up himself too.

Be rubbish for 9 months, get a big payoff. Only in football, eh?

Well no not really, its up to the board in insert clauses into contracts, perhaps if there was a confidence results based half season clause in there pay offs could have been minimised.

Unbeaten at home for the season till Monday, unbeaten in 13 league games. In a cup final, still in the FAI Cup. Would say he'd have a good case if it went to court.

Pay to sack a manager and then pay another club to sign their manager? Doubt it. Unless they can convince him to retire for a day or two before hiring him.

On a 2 year deal so monies would be owing. Already there before and well you know what they are like Hiddink or noone.

uhh few pats fans that havent been banned have put together a list of possible managers mentioned by rovers fans.

/this is fcuking mental....seriously mental......

Julian Dicks
Roy Keane
Gus Hiddink
Ruud Gullitt


right so leave it at that....../WOW

Considering Kenny's pay out, the manager we go after will not have a club or will be able to walk out of their club.

I wouldnt be surprised if Hooperman was offered it tbh, he's around the budget target anyway at about a 10er an hour, every second friday.

In fairness Julian Dicks *apparently* applied for the Waterford United job a while back when Stephen Henderson got the sack. Wouldn't be that shocked if there's something to that rumour...

But Hiddink and Gullitt? Where'd they come from?

dreamers75

Phil Brown
Roy Keane
Brian Laws
Ruud Guillit
Harry Redknapp
Peter Reid

shortlist from rovers fans.


/wow

Staunton would be my choice or Jeff kenna.

CSF

Matthews has surely earned the job tonight.

Oat23

Wasn't Dicks in for the Rovers job after Cook went to Stanley? Maybe that was just a rumour.

Hiddink and Gullit were both mentioned jokingly, surely.

Ebbs

Dicks was yes, no idea why, he has a poorer record than Roddy.

The rest of the people that are being mentioned, like Keane/Kilbane/Cunningham/Staunton are all down to noise from their own management companies, nothing from Rovers. (Both Rovers)

Still can see it being down to Jim Magilton or Rico.

Rico?

hahahahaha

He has showed his value to Shels, we'll have to look elsewhere. Tactical masterclass from him tonight.
