This kind of thing always ends badly, mark my words!

Would Horan come back?
Lookit, he's had his break.

[Croí na hÉireann]

Brings back memories of the autumn of 03. Players wanted a change from Dempsey but Dempsey talked them around with changes, improvements, etc. Board read the situation, stepped in and went after Paidí. The rest is history.

Maughtan and from Feb 2016 an unemployed John O'Mahony to assist him is just the ticket for the Rhus.
Sure what could possibly go wrong

I agree that this thread can reach 100 pages. Us Rossies are surely capable of contributing at least 50 pages to it!!....Imo, the Mayo players have been built up as ''little God's'' by the Mayo Gaa public and can do no wrong.. These people and players seem to think that they have a God given right to win Sam, and can't understand why it's not happening. It can't be their '' little God's'' fault, so it has to be management... Someone on here mentioned the preparations in the 6 days between the Dublin games, as the reason why the ''players'' blew a match winning position in the replay and blame it on management. Mind i remind you how these same ''little God's'' blew match winning positions in last year's 2 games against Kerry..Management, the referee and O'Connor/O'Shea clashing heads were to blame. Time for Mayo people to wake up and realise that ,when it comes to winning Sam, their players are good, but not good enough.

Posting the same thing twice is a good help..

Can any Mayo people tell us what the issues with the two lads where? Why are the players against them? Is it just basic incompetence?
Indirectly I have heard that a number of players questioned their commitment as Connelly wasn't always there due to work?

Player power continues it seems. Best thing the two lads can do is resign as soon as

[Jinxy]

This two manager set-up is a cop-out anyway.
I see the Rossies are doing the same thing now.
Just give it to McStay and let him at it.

[Shamrock Shore]

Be careful what ye wish for Mayo lads.

County Board could foist Banty or Tommy Tom Carr on ye!

Or Luke Dempsey.

Arra, come of it, shrewdy. You've  neck like a jockey's undercarriage.
'bout a week ago, you were moaning about us Mayos moving in on your patch when we were just trying to sort out your managerial problems and you wanted us to mind our own business. Now what's sauce for the goose is surely sauce for the gander and all that sort of thing.  How the hell do you know what's needed to win Sam since you are never likely to find out!!

'.  How the hell do you know what's needed to win Sam since you are never likely to find out!!

Our 2 counties have a lot in common so - Mayo's ship has sailed again. All the Rossies can breath easier, we can handle not winning Sam knowing yee shower will never win it either.

All banter aside, it was a bit of a cozy cartel with county board & Mayo senior management, I feel the players were correct to air their grievances. No point the players bursting their balls if they don't believe in the system they are in.

If Ross don't win next years Connacht title after all of this they may aswell give up and sell the bus while they are at it.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Why are the Mayo fans and players blaming their management team throughout this?

They were in a winning position with 15 minutes to go when their player's bottle collapsed. Not much their managers can do when Cillian O'Connor fails to track a runner back or Cafferkey shows Brogan down the inside of him, when Keegan fluffs a free shot from 20 yards out or when Hennelly pussies out of  60/40 ball in his favour.

To be honest it probably says a lot about the character of the players and why they haven't won an All Ireland in that time period. When you're in those winning positions with not long left on the clock, a manager can't do it for you.

If you ask why did Mayo collapse in the last 15 minutes then the answer may lie in the prearations during the 6 day turnaround. The responsibility for how the team were prepared lies with management.

They collapsed because the players made unforgivable individual mistakes.

Cant beat a good off-season putsch against a management team. One of the signs winter is coming.
