If a manager came in from Germany, Holland, Italy or Spain, then of course fans would be more excited and positive than if you appoint a manager from the Irish League who starts signing players who have played there. It's not so much a case of people being anti-Irish, more the case that if you have come in, like Fenlon, and gotten off to a poor start as manager, and then sign players from a country that isn't producing many good players at the moment, of course fans are going to be negative and mention the common-link at some point.

If we were winning games, nobody would even bring it up.
Who has Fenlon signed from the Irish leagues ..?...Doyle was direct from Irish football but others have been signed/loaned from English championship teams ..
