Fenlon Tries Dummy As Tangerines Make A Fruity Offer

Dundee United have requested permission from Bohemians to speak to Pat Fenlon about the managerial vacancy at Tannadice. Fenlon, who has won five of the last seven League of Ireland titles with Bohemians and Shelbourne, is one of several targets United have earmarked following Craig Levein’s departure to take the Scotland job.
Reports from the UK media claim Tannadice chairman Stephen Thompson has already held initial talks with Fenlon but Pat exclusively told Sportspeak’s Pitchside Pitcher that he had not spoken to anyone. Dundee also claim to be in contact with former United midfielder Billy McKinlay. But Bohemians are awaiting a compensation offer from the Scottish club before they give their blessing to any discussions. “Dundee United have sent us a fax asking for permission to speak to Pat,” said Bohemians honorary secretary Gerry Conway. “We’ve given them permission to approach him subject to compensation being agreed. “I don’t know whether they want to interview him as one of a number of candidates but there has been no agreement between the clubs with regards compensation. I don’t see it going any further until that happens.”
