The tale of two bosses
Stephen Kenny spent yesterday answering the phone to Scottish journalists, who phoned to ponder with the Derry City manager why fate has dealt him such a hand.
He understood why the calls were coming. It was the natural move, in the context of the Pat Fenlon/Dundee United developments, to canvass the last League of Ireland manager to make such a move across the water. Kenny's move to Dunfermline three years veered terribly off course. When he got shown the door, he didn't realise that the pain was just beginning.
The only consolation then was the security of a return to Derry City. So-called security, as it happened. Now, after Derry's year of shame, which culminated in expulsion from the league, the Dubliner is preparing for life in the League of Ireland First Division, a level that he has not experienced since his first job at Longford Town.
As the only full-time employee at a club with a new board desperately trying to mend the errors of their predecessors, he's returned to the kind of challenge he looked to have moved beyond. The obvious question is why he chose to stick around when Dundalk, to name but one, were willing to offer a way back to the top flight.
