Jon Daly could have been lying back soaking up the sun in Turkey this week with his family.

Instead he made a decision which went down like a “lead balloon” to take the Dundalk job, with the 41-year-old going into the heat of battle straight away having taken charge of the side in Galway last Friday, where a 2-0 defeat left the Co Louth side rooted to the foot of the table.
