Dolan urges City players to make early impression

PAT DOLAN will today issue a challenge to the Cork City players who last season finished fourth in the eircom League — “Show me you can do better.”

Dolan's appointment represented the biggest close season move by any of the ten premier clubs. He was the most high-profile manager in the game with Pat's and also one of the most successful. His signing was a declaration of intent by club chairman Brian Lennox to build a club capable of winning major trophies.

A new challenge was all the incentive Dolan needed to make such a radical move. He admitted he signed on impulse but all of his instincts were positive towards Cork and his experiences have confirmed his judgement.
