Blow for Bohs as Fenlon sticks with Shels

SHELBOURNE have received a massive boost with the news that Pat Fenlon is staying on as manager.

Fenlon had reportedly been on the brink of joining Dublin rivals Bohemians, but it’s now back to the drawing board for the newly cash-rich Gypsies in their search for a manager.

Acknowledging that the past week has been a difficult time for the club, its supporters, players and staff, Fenlon said: “We’ve a job to do here and I intend winning the title this season and staying in the job in the foreseeable future. The players have been phenomenal in sometimes difficult circumstances, as have our supporters, and I’d like to thank them for that — and the best way we can do that is by collectively bringing the silverware to Tolka Park this season.”
