I am hearing Cooke has been sacked! Pete mahon was to take over but in the last minute wanted more money so looks like Keith long is to get the job

They should hold on the rod will be available in a week or so
With Bucka to lead us sure no one could beat us!
Pete would be perfect

Heard at the match on Friday (via a mole in their camp) that he was under serious pressure alright. While it may seem harsh to judge him by a result away to the Champions, I think it was more a case that this was their 10th game and they seem to have set a benchmark of how many points they expected to have by then.
We are at war with Eurasia. We've always been at war with Eurasia.
Officially confirmed: Cooke has parted company with Athlone by mutual consent.
getting the boot before the Rodster !!! says it all

From RTE:
.......Long will be assisted by Eddie Wallace, who joins from St Patrick's Athletic
Anyone hear any rumours regards Athlone having some "problems"?
Apparently they've only paid the rent for their ground up to the 20th of September and are struggling to get money together. All merchandise from thier club shop was robbed a few days ago also which doesnt help things for them
And maybe a chance for a second... AND IT IS! IT'S ALL OVER! PATS HAVE WON THE CUP!
funny timing the stock getting robbed this week.

The rent thing is odd
Fella 'gave' then money to clear the debt. They've seen it as a donation (and that's what was reported at the time). He thinks he bought a controlling interest
The 'rent' was nominal. Something like €4k is 'owed'. It's basically your man making a play at taking them over fully
"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
it all seems very strange.
I just cant get my head around the idea of there being issues behind the scenes at a LOI team between a board and a power hungry individual. all very odd
