Urgent, why's that? We have slept through a slow decline, hit the wall and now its a crisis!! It is what it is. PD is as good a candidate there is and isn't one for going through the motions so my prediction is he will make a positive impact. My preference is suspend senior inter county until we put bricks and mortar under our aspirations, however long that takes. Lets make it about the club again. This isn't a fit for the current business model though.
Like your radical thinking about pulling out of county and diverting our resources to building a strong clubs. I'd say this is well worth a debate and if one county did it others would follow but no one will want to be the first to do it

Why don't we have 4/5 months to wait? Would you have preferred a lesser candidate to take over today? And not get the right results further down the road?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Id say the paid manager is a big part of it as he has  to justify his pay week in week out. Creggan must have paid some money on managers in the last 10 years. Putting it into their juveniles would be a better spend

Have you been around Creggan recently?

Creggan are an excellent club and do very well for the pick that they have. It must be one of the smallest catchment areas in Antrim? They surely have a money man behind them but they always seem to be running very successful fundraisers.

Good club, well run, lots of community items and fundraisers and the locals get behind them.  Expanded their catchment area 15 years ago with an ambitious youth recruitment policy much to the angst of Cargin and Tir Na Nog - made them buck up their ideas and they responded so Creggan are seeing the benefits coming through now though it may be only short term.  They've put a lot of money into the club, management, grounds etc for a good few years now. Great setup, whether that translates into a championship is another question. Thought that raft of underage  titles a few years ago would have reaped a championship by now and have made their way through a succession of well compensated managers

I have indeed and impressive set up just debating why with all their resources they don't look any closer to a senior championship. Maybe one of their own could motivate their senior team better after ten years of hired hands...

Another hot evening and have a thought for our footballers who are to have another game......their third in a seven day period........player welfare indeed not >:(

Friday, Wed and another Friday?

Would you prefer them match and two hard training sessions and then another match? Some people are hard too please! Players prefer games to training? If you'd played a bit, you'd agree  ;)
