The Monaghan job is a poisoned chalice as they will be favourites for relegation and are unlikely to compete for an Ulster championship again for at least a few years. It requires a complete rebuild and therefore I am surprised it went to an outsider. Banty was loyal to the older players and tried to squeeze one last Ulster title out of them. Problem now is that half the team needs replacing and Ger Brennan or whoever else gets the job is on a hiding to nothing. That said the whole process seems to be a mess and the way they treated their own job applicant looks very shabby.

Has been that way for them since returning to Division 1 in 2015 will anyone be surprised if they avoid the drop again next year?

Next season we'll have 4 home games,  probably home against Tyrone, Donegal, Armagh and A.N Other,  we're a safe bet to stay up  :)

On the manager appointment, for me it's a case of wait and see (and hope).

Is it only Donegal and Roscommon (from Division 1) that are managerless?

Nothing coming from us yet.

Theres a star man waiting in the sky. That's this weeks rumour in Roscommon. Don Conellan the week before, Pat Flanagan the week before that.

Well, you have received the O'Rourke snub.

One of the advantages of the shorter season is that Donegal and Monaghan have 2 extra months to find a manager. Sunningdale for slow learners.

Blowitupref

Seven football counties are looking to appoint a new manager: Roscommon, Donegal, Monaghan, Wicklow, Limerick, Westmeath and Wexford. Anyone want to guess which county will be last to appoint a new manager?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Money will make anything happen. It's a low pressure job.

Will he be able to stay on the podcast circuit?? Bound to be making him a few pound the Wicklow job must be able to replace that income.

Good luck to him he seems a decent sort and clearly loves the game hope he goes well.

Dessie Farrell given another two years with Dublin. Not sure if he's the right manager to lead them through their current transition but that ends the speculation that his time with Dublin was over.


I'm happy that Dessie wants to go for another two years. Best option out there for the Dubs. Obviously we were very close this year despite missing our most important forward. He's pretty much picking the right players. The bench is weak, but that's just a case of 'it is what it is', it's not like there's a few hidden gems out there that he's missing. But hopefully a couple of lads will put their hand up in the ongoing club championship to provide extra options.

What other options was out there? Only seen Declan Darcy mentioned who ended up taking on another role. Dublin should have plenty of options.

Biggest task for Dessie Farrell is the transition and leaving the team in decent shape for the next manager. Finding replacements for the older guard that haven't long left Michael Fitzsimons, Jonny Cooper, James McCarthy, Dean Rock etc. While introducing new faces into the set up, thus far few of Dublin U20 players the reached All-Ireland finals in 2020, 2019 have become established senior starters.

Would expect James Doran, Adam Rafter, Josh Bannon and Mark Lavin from them u20 teams to feature more next year. Peader O'Cofaigh Byrne, Lorcan O'Dell and Brian O'Leary only players from them teams to break through so far.
