Bohs chiefs are keeping an open mind on their next step after parting ways with Keith Long after almost eight years in the Dalymount Park hot-seat.
Long's desire to turn around what he described as his "first blip" did not convince the club's board that he could do so.
The 48-year-old was let go yesterday following talks, with Monday night's 3-1 defeat to St Pat's - Bohs' third straight home loss in the League - proving the last straw in a campaign that has seen the Gypsies win just eight games from 28 to date.
