It was an eventful Thursday afternoon for Waterford FC as, after saying goodbye and wishing some players the very best for the rest of the season, management duo Kevin Sheedy and Mike Newell put their gear bags over their shoulders and exited stage left from the WIT Arena that seemed to end their six-game reign at the club.

However, shortly after their departure was brought into the public domain, a U-turn followed with a club spokesman denying that both men had resigned, but with players still under the impression that they left, their future is now believed to be in hands of Blues owner Lee Power.
