Caffery resigns as Dublin boss

    Manager Paul Caffrey has resigned as manager of the Dublin footballers following today's 12-point hammering at the hands of Tyrone at Croke Park.
    Caffrey, who took over from Tommy Lyons in 2004, offered his resignation after the SFC quarter-final, in which his highly fancied side were never in contention after Sean Cavanagh's first half goal.
    Caffrey, who led the Metropolitans to the Leinster title during each of his four years in charge, never took his side beyond the semi-final stage.

    Speaking at Croke Park, he confirmed: 'I'm stepping down today after four years in charge of Dublin, and I'd like to praise the players, not only on today's panel, but the players that I've dealt with over the last four years, what they have given to the Dublin jersey and the pride they have put back into the Dublin jersey.'
    He added: 'It certainly wasn't how we wished it to end today, but that's football, that's sport and we must accept it and move on.'

    Not too suprising. Mick Deegan if the rumours are to be belived is the favourite to take over.
