They obviously meant McCourts ex Brighton boss as opposed to CH being ex Brighton,.

No mention of 'ex-manager Chris Houghton' in that article. Where CH is mentioned, they use the correct spelling of Hughton.

I strongly suspect that is even more wide of the mark. Stupefyingly inaccurate, in fact. They mention that Josh Kerr is ex-Celtic, which is true and fair enough. No other 'ex-' anything and anyone in the linked article.

They have obviously corrected it since, it absolutely did say ex-Brighton manager Chris Houghton, very shoddy as not only is he very much still our manager, he represented their country enough times as both a player and as assistant manager, for them to at least spell his name correctly.

Oh no it's that bloody border thing again. Derry is in the North, but play in the league in the South and a number of players from the team/area choose to represent the Republic.

Not looking good at all for him if a part time league effectively is the best he can get.

A loan for development purposes, or a loan away out of development to a career at a lower level? Should he regret leaving Celtic?

Where did you get that from? I doubt we have paid anything like that for any of our youth team

I seem to remember reading a while back the fee was quoted around £1.5 million.

2.5m for the Czech right back, at least a million for the Swede. The guy on loan to Spain was also very expensive. Just off the top of my head.

I don't know that much detail, but I agree, I'm pretty sure I've seen reports of us paying seven figure sums for youth players. Sending them to the Irish League isn't likely to turn the academy into a profit making venture.

Would be interested to see your source, if you can remember it. I record these sorts of details but I've never seen a figure reported for Kerr's transfer.

Dunno, but he should almost certainly regret signing for a club where the first team are managed by Chris Hughton.

Paddy will teach him how to shimmy, talk incomprehensible bollocks, and vanish in the middle of a game, one imagines. But especially this:

Not looking too good for the kid. LOI is improving, but is at best L1/2 with only 12 months left you would think he should be Championship level at least if he is going to make it....
