County Manager Merry go round

[JoG2]

It will be interesting to see if Derry use more of the lads in the squad under Harte compared to Gallagher.
Surely there will be a change in approach in terms of Derry's use of the subs bench.

There's also the possibility of getting lads who were outside the panel previously to join up.
However given his previous form with Tyrone it's not like there will be a mad rush of lads bursting down the door to sign up especially if you are a forward given how many negative reports of what playing under him is like.

I really can't see Harte being very concerned with long-term development of youth given he's unlikely to see any benefit from it. That's pretty standard with outside managers in all sports, nevermind one in his 70s.

He'll hardly do a Gallagher on it whereby he wouldn't allow Lachlann Murray play for Derry U20s in their knock out tie and instead played him for two minutes for the seniors against Fermanagh.

Football is absolutely ruthless at county level, Lachlan has 2 x Ulster Senior winners medals at home.

Gallagher obviously did wonders for Derry on a football level but that and not giving Conor Glass / Ethan Doherty rests after Glen's run were mistakes IMO. Harte wouldn't do that I would think.

Not sure about. This is the mickey who set put each year with nearly a full strength squad in jan to win every McKenna cup. When successful teams were resting players and developing squad depth mickey was at it full pelt.

Gallagher was always flogging players. Part of the reason him and McGuiness fell out. He wanted the older players back very early. Then when he became Donegal manager it was the same.

Be interesting to see how he does, was linked to a number of inter county teams the last few years.

McGuinness is starting his second spell with a seven day training camp in December.

The cash for the 80K cost has apparently been already secured.

Was Kerry Senior Manager between 2019 and 2021 , beaten by Dublin in the 2019 All Ireland Final . Involved with Killarney Legion this year where then went as far as the semi final of the Kerry Intermediate Championship .
Yet to be ratified by the Tipp County Board it will be an exciting appointment if it happens . Will have a decent amount of the successful Tipp Minor/Under 21 Teams from 2011 to 2015 to work with !

Waterford's attitude to football versus hurling has always been a bit baffling to me. So many in the county seem to have the attitude that bothering with football is beneath them because they are a very serious hurling county - godforbid that you point out that in hurling all they've been doing for most of their history is making up the numbers in terms of the top table of hurling. I remember talking to a lad who was playing for the Waterford footballers at a wedding years back and he was bemoaning the number of club football players who had no interest whatsoever in lining out for the county.
