With us losing Peter Hughes and still uncertainty around whether Meenagh will remain as manager next season, there is a risk of the Senior team losing momentum.

In my opinion, DCB need to settle the ship asap. If he is willing to take the job, Meenagh should be offered the role and given the freedom to add to his backroom team.
If he's not going to take the role, then hopefully we move quickly to secure new management.
There's no doubt MOR would be the favourite to land it and if, as reported, Logan and Dooher get another 3 years with Tyrone then he wont get his head turned by other county sides.
If not Meenagh or MOR, who else is out there?

john brennan is free now that he's away from Swatragh

I think this is the one job which would get Jim McGuiness back into management to try and go one better than RG

Whats the verdict on the club football scene.
Are the wattys going to walk to 3 in a row?
Can anyone challenge them?
Went to see them playing the surs tonight and they looked good, even without big Conor and Ethan.

Set up ridiculous, in the old days a team win a club all Ireland playing less games than to win a Derry club championship.

Think about it though, Derry finished up in early July, mist of them took a break or a holiday (which they deserved). The Derry league was drawing to a close at that point. What other way is there of getting the county players games with their clubs other than what has been devised by cccc?
Effectively, the 6 round robin games are glorified league games. For me, and I think for a lot of people, the real think only kicks off with the quarter finals and straight knockout. The round robin format also has the added spice of the potential for relegation from senior championship which leaves each game meaningful. With the split season, I think it's the only format that could work.
The alternative is the Tyrone format of straight knockout. Their league is much more prestigious than ours so they play their championship later in the season and allow several league games with their county players. It's just a different way of doing it to suit each county.
