Good luck to Kevin McStay. Very happy he got it.
He is a Mayoman at heart, he got totally shafted six or seven years ago.
Onward and upward, I have a lot of respect for Donie Buckley, hopefully Stephen Rochford has something to add as coach.

Maybe he can now get back to loving us again? It's been a while!

You say that like he's not a Mayo man. Has always spoke about his strong desire to manage Mayo seniors above all else. McHale was nearly in tears when he didn't get the opportunity to coach Mayo again in 2015  as he felt that was his last time to do so.   With Rochford,Buckley also involved it has to be the most stocked Mayo management team ever.

There was more than a sense that McStay was hurt by not getting the gig the last time. Articles he wrote, co-commentary on RTE, Analysis on RTE, his time with Roscommon, all felt off key.  There was a lot to be taken from reading between the lines.
A bit like the way Dara O'Se co-commentates on Tyrone.

Was right to be hurt, it was shambles how he wasn't appointed the last time.  Will be plenty to write about and perhaps a volume 2 book if his objectives as Mayo manager are reached.

Reading Shannon's article on McStay it seems to suggest Flanagan has the Rosommon job already??

Rossfan

Only "news that broke" was Flanagan saying his Club had nominated him. Making it public means the Committee will have to interview him!
His team losing by 14 points will hardly have improved his chances.
Talk that there are a couple of people being pursued..... but hard to know how reliable that might be.

It's hard to see Mayo winning Sam with a Mayo manager. There is enough data showing that there is a psychological problem that other counties other than Kildare don't have.

True.
What does he work at I wonder?

If all Mayo win under McStay's 4 year reign is an FBD Insurance League, you'd have to say it'd be a roaring success.
Anything after that is bonus territory.
Maybe ride off into the sunset with a Tailteann Cup making him the most successful Mayo Manager of the last 70 years.

Surprised  to be honest,  when he was doing commentary you never guess he was a Mayo man the way he put then down half the time, and have a live in for Dublin and Kerry.

McStay hates Dublin but does have a horn for Kerry.

You're joking? I never heard an analyst hate a county as much as McStay hates Kerry, well maybe only surpassed by his hatred for Mayo.
He has a huge man crush on David Clifford albeit.
