County Manager Merry go round

[Tubberman]

Davy Fitz back with Waterford.

I've got 2 All-Irelands and you've got f#*k all.

Jesus, he's a decent manager but he's on the circuit a long while now, and waterford seemed to be going places under Cahill until the implosion in this years champ.
Surely someone up and coming rather than this little f**ker roaring in their faces would be a better bet?

It's a skill in itself that Davy has perfected in staying relevant at the top for so long. He is a career GAA man and must be near the top of the all time earners list. Maybe Breheny can do up another of his top 50s on the merry go round.

As for the Mayo managerial saga with all the candidates seemingly out in the open, they could run it off like a reality tv show and vote out a management team every week before arriving at the winner. In true Mayo style.

The process in Mayo is OK I think, but the timelines are leaving it wide open for all the speculation, and people to drop out, or be linked with other jobs.
3 weeks between nominations and interviews, why!?

And Stephen Rochford linked with Roscommon

Is that this week's rumour?

Hmmmmm......
Reliable reputable journalist right enough so  someone at top level  must have said it to him.

[twohands!!!]

I saw Collins is staying on in Clare there during the week - think it was in the Examiner

One year term for the time being.

A bit mad there was no candidate for the Donegal job from the clubs.

I wonder what odds of a Murphy player/manager situation.

Wonder when was the last time there a player/manager at intercounty level?

Is Counihan the man in Monaghan ??
The rumours are strong

I remember Val Daly playing and managing Galway in 97

Yeah, I don't know what the story is with Donegal football. Bonner was extended last year because there were no other takers. Go back 20 years and McEniff, county chairman at the time, took the job as basically a caretaker for three seasons because they couldn't find anyone after Mickey Moran stepped down.

I'd say they'll bring someone in from outside.

Any Tyrone bucks interested in managing their beloved neighbours?

I heard it was Jim's if he wanted it and that put a few people off going forward. Now that Jim has said he's not going for it, I've heard Malachy O'Rourke has been talking to the county board last week.

Would it be possible for O'Rourke to do the two - club and county?

Or would that be too much?

I'd imagine if he takes the Donegal job he'll do both until Glen are out of the Cship.
