Anyone know if new management has been appointed at NUI,G ? Has Billy packed it in / shafted ?
A number of people approached for "top job " in college , by a " college loose cannon " , anyone enlighten ?

I heard that Jimmy Nolan was taking the post

Tommie Freanch also approached re the gig !

The only man for the job is former manager John Clarke ! NUI,G are no longerinthe top 8 rated teams in Collingwood rankings , when he was there they were always there or there abouts in collegiate terms . Same time he reached European universities final , won and competed in the Connacht Senior league competitions , Eircom u 21 while at the same time their second team competed in the D L premier league . His first year teams reached 4/5 Harding cup finals in a row !
Sadly for the players , he wil not be asked back , as he ran the club his way , the winning way and players always put first . He upset one person in particular up there , who has never come within an asses roar of putting the commitment into the club that "clarkee " put in !
Ask any player from Clarkees era , what they thought of his training methods , management !

ya not sure who is in charge of the college this year, it could be billy but never heard of this freanch guy. Anyone know his credentials, whats is his scouting network like?

ah thats a load of horse poo, i believe thatbilly is staying at the helm and that the college are planning an assualt on the title this season, be warned!!

Tommy French is the new manager of NUI, G fc . His scouting network will be unveiled as always in College at trials in Sept . "Serious challenge" on title , you got to be joking , college will be about 5 games behind everyone else before they start in a division they should not be in at all , remember they finished 6 points behind the second placed team in the first division last season ! This late start will be followed by a cessation of competitive football about March 1st , after Collingwood and prior to exams . It will be a great achievement by college to stay in the premier division .
As for Tommy his forte and profession is in personnel fitness , not proven in soccer in Galway , originally from Donegal .... handy enough player .

Tom French used to train the Galway united U-21 side 2 years ago under Des Crawley. Very good brain for the game and any team under him will be unbelievably fit..I think he also did a stent training the first team at united after he left our u-21 side. Not sure has he done much managing though!!

well if he can get the college fit that would b a good thing, last year they had a lot of good individuals but they were never that fit probably too much booze on college nights out what!!!

i agree with noelly c, college were never really high on fitness and often cost themselves points faltering later in games.... very eloquently put noelly c

saturdays, sundays it's all the bloody same

ya but playing on sunday means that its ok to drink on friday night too, so when your drinking wednesday, thursday and friday night, you get a serious 2 day hangover on sunday

Looks like the local pub leagues resume this weekend!
