Scouting & analysing all things League of Ireland.

I hear @FabrizioRomano is readying the tweet to announce James Clarke signing a bumper contract @derrycityfc

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

Weathers unreal here lads ☀️ Phil’s left me a few extra quid behind the bar, take another few days off and report back on Monday. Plenty of time to prepare for Bohs #9daysoff

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@FPL_Calle No just starting for New Zealand? No volpato for Australia? Scotland looks close. Can see Clarke going to a back 3/5 but may not for this game

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@fpmcelhone I’m not suggesting resign, I’m suggesting he goes and speaks to Phil and work out a deal.

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

TL as Derry manager is done. Just a matter of when, not if. If he’s holding out for £££ then he’s even more foolish than he portrays. Managers jobs are limited and when each passing game he’s making himself look even more limited and out of his depth.

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

He should go to Phil & look to strike a deal. Sit it out & hope for some sort of role in the Irish league as he’s done, for me, as regards to LOI. The sooner it’s sorted the better for all involved. The fans (noise as he calls it) have all had enough and deserve much much better

@offtheball The man is not a good manager or a good coach. That has been clear for a long long time.

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

If what I’m hearing is true, the most ill disciplined manager in LoI (u20s) has received a 10 game ban (should have been an indefinite ban). At what point does the club a) address what happened & b) get rid of him?

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@BrianJustBrian @o_reachtaire How much do you think they're on and do you understand how severance works? No where near those figures for the red card

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@McCandless90 I’d be a decent replacement for the one that’s in place!

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

Ciaran Kilduff at the Brandywell tonight. Putting in the required effort to watch opposition playing. Lynch finds it that difficult to drive to Owenbeg he needs every weekend off. Lazy manager breeds poor performances/results

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@McCandless90 Just a manager doing his job.

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@Luke_438 Should never have been appointed but that’s another story

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@Luke_438 Think he just goes there to fall out with people. It’s not to coach that’s for sure

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

Craig Farquhar to Derry........

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@celticbert @odhranc14 6-8 weeks?

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@derryjournal I can’t even be bothered to read the article as it’ll be the usual waffle. The headline says a lot though. I think if he gave the fans more of his time and tried to integrate himself in the city, the fans would be the least of his issues….

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@NiallWorthing67 Your model looks to be expecting a drift on Derry?

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@DeeCurran1 i like the 'i'm led to believe'

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@derryjournal Stats are all well and good. They need to be married into real time and the eye test. Reliant on stats is either a smokescreen or neglect

[The Scouting Architect @loianalyst]

@sked21 FYI, Tim McCann is a coach and not the boss at Glentoran
