Soccer manager loses action

BOHEMIAN Football Club’s sacked manager Sean Connor lost his High Court action yesterday for an injunction to have his salary paid until the case concerning his dismissal is heard.

The court was told Mr Connor earned €100,000 a year as manager and claimed he had a contract up to the end of the 2009 season.

Mr Justice Frank Clarke said that for a mandatory injunction, a strong case must be established. Mr Connor had a relatively short contract, ending in 2009, and a new manager was in place.
