How were Liatroim able to get the transfer of Murphy through? I know his father was manager but how was it possible. Belfast and o Donovan Rossa through and through they'd have you believe

Maybe he's living in Liatroim now?
Lovely place to get away from the busy city life!
Nice wee caravan would be ideal.

Deegan to clonduff next year

Massive risk on a man who has literally done nothing in management circles.

Reports of a few early club managerial shake ups.
Bryansford - Fegan + Deegan gone.
Mayobridge - Poacher + Clarke gone.
Clonduff - McBride gone.
Castlewellan - Grant gone.
Downpatrick - Robinson gone.
Bredagh - Mason + Dawson gone.
Longstone - Morgan gone.
Some amount of jobs on the merry-go-round coming up.

In other news, CL has started to contact prospective players for next year, a few lads have already had a phone call, reportedly training is set to be a real test this side of Christmas with tullyamore forest park and sand dunes earmarked for some gruelling running sessions, survival of the fittest coming very soon

Not a fan of a one season management setting, you really can't change everything in one year. If there are progressing signs they need to stay.

Final on at 4pm Sunday, seems a strange time, I normally have my Sunday siesta then. Looking forward to this one, intriguing how CPN will approach it and whether they will follow blueprint of Clonduff

If your information is correct, it's looking like 70-80% of SFC teams for 2023 will have a new management team.

Is this a symptom of:

A) Unrealistic expectation from clubs from their senior team, or
B) unrealistic expectations from players from their management, or
C) unrealistic expectations from managers on how may time players should give,
D) unrealistic expectations from managers that clubs can be shaken down for money?

It's probably a combination of the lot to be fair.

Gaelic Games is in dour need of a great reset.

Not so sure about a few of these above but Adam's is gone from Burren. Think Poacher is staying with Mayobridge and Morgan is staying with Longstone. 5/6 of the top ten teams in the county looking managers next year in a season that's already going to be competitive..

Gilligan going to be leaving Kilcoo also. Thornton to take over alone or may also walk. McCorry gone. Mullholland and Pollie will be staying. McCorry gone and wee James clan in. Poacher staying also led to believe Clarke staying but will only be involved after Down finish up. Dinky gone and Deegan in with Clonduff. Ciaran Brannigan pushing for Bryansford job. McCrink to stay with Ballyholland after steadying the ship. Duffin to get another year after positive year.

Thought that was a strange one alright but whatever was going on with Rossa in the lead up to last years senior final in Antrim has been Liatroims gain, but for how long nobody knows....

Why will Gilligan be leaving? Clubs expect instant success and that can be draining on managers. A league title for Burren is not enough for their supporters which another club would see as a great year.

Take division one, for example, even the clubs who were relegated had decent runs in the championship. I think the biggest problem is the expectations of club supporters who expect teams to win a championship every year. All clubs go through managers like hot dinners and players do not get time to adjust. If Dinky and Grant have left Clonduff and Castlewellan then how many managers have they gone through in the past ten years? The manager will always be the fall guy of a club but sometimes people need to look at the players and ask themselves if their ability there.

To take over Castlewellan would be hard work, Half the team play hurling on a Monday night and the other half play soccer on a Saturday after a game on Friday night, like realistically where would you get genuine time to coach the side?

Where have the rumours of Deegan to Clonduff come from, seems like a wild guess tbh. He will cost big money and cannot see Clonduff parting with big money again after a few years of pushing money to Tyrone men with no reward. Clonduff to go cheap this year imo, and stay in house, somehow.

Clonduff always find it hard when they go in-house, the parish is too big and the Hilltown and Cabra argument will always surface. I would say it's one of the hardest jobs in Down.
