Cork to make speedy appointment after Doolin’s departure

THE search for a replacement for Paul Doolin is already well under way at Cork City.

While some observers believed that City would take their time in appointing a new manager – not least to avoid adding to the payroll during a close season in which trimming the budget for next year is a major objective – it’s understood that the club is anxious to have a new man installed as quickly as possible.

With player contracts and sponsorship deals up for re-negotiation and a push already on to sell season tickets for next year, City feel that the speedy appointment of a new manager will boost confidence and stability at a club which, despite its many financial woes last season, managed to finish the campaign in third in the Premier Division and qualify for the Europa League.
