County Manager Merry go round

[Truth hurts]

Wee James no surprise, the only surprise is that he left it so long. Down are at a low ebb but it's probably a good time to take that job as they can't sink much lower but they need to begin to try and heal the club rifts which will be difficult. Maybe an outside man like Banty alongside Laverty and Poacher.

What club rifts?

Kilcoo and Burren, I'm only looking at it from the outside but I get the impression that there isn't much love between Kilcoo in general and the county set up.

Generally, a dominant club is not good for the county team.

Many would argue it did, and this became particularly evident once the AI winning team began to break up around 2006. Senior club football was uncompetitive and uninteresting for years, and the overall standard dropped markedly compared with previously decades. We're maybe only beginning to see a recovery in the last two or three years - 25 years on from the birth of the monster.

All Irelands need high skill levels. Regular hammerings are bad for skills development . The best club team will never get the full 15 on the county team or be better in every single position. A spread of clubs tends to be better.
Armagh only won the one all Ireland while Cross were vacuuming up county titles.

And zero All Irelands when they werent

Michael Fennelly gone from Offaly hurlers I see in local media Midlands Sport. I wonder will he be involved in back room team of any future Kilkenny backroom team.

[imtommygunn]

I wonder did he go or was he pushed? I dunno if Offaly would be living up to expectations.

Say the latter. 3 year term up, Offaly County Board chose not to renew it.

One journalist tweeted

14 GAA county senior managers have left their positions over the last four weeks.

Only three of those replaced with Mayo, Monaghan, Dublin, Offaly, Waterford, Wexford, Donegal, Longford, Kilkenny and Down all having vacancies, along with the Laois hurlers from mid-June.

[Rossfan]

And Roscommon??,

I wonder why?

Were players not impressed with him?

[Blowitupref]

And Roscommon??,

Have they got vacancy?

[Rossfan]

We don't know, no word from CB as to whether Anthony is staying or going, or being proposed or anything!
