If it's tough at the top, it's even tougher at the bottom - and Danny Murphy is doing everything he can to move Cork City out of there.
Murphy has connections with Cork going back to his childhood, when he made regular visits to family from London.
He had three spells at Turner's Cross as a player between 2004 and '14, winning a League title in '05, and after spells working as a coach in the US and England, he returned to City last June as manager of the women's team.
