Last Sunday morning Damien Duff resigned as Manager of Shelbourne .
Duff was always box office and to be fair was very good for the League of Ireland . He raised its profile , not all by himself clearly , but by raising the standard of Shelbourne he brought another competitive Dublin team to the League alongside Rovers , Pats and Bohs .
He had the guts to take on the job rather than just resting on his laurels and enjoying his wealth .
Winning the League last year was a fair achievement and he got them into Europe twice as well during his time there . They have been poor enough this year and he clearly couldn't see any way forward .
Will be interesting to see what he does next .
