PP odds on the next Mayo manager:

Horan 6/4
Rochford 5/2
Buckley 6/1
Maughan 13/2
Nallen 7/1
Ford 8/1
McGuinness 9/1
J O'Connor 10/1
McGarry 12/1
Gilvarry 14/1
Canavan 20/1
L McHale 25/1
Niall Heffernan 25/1
Eamon O'Hara 33/1
It continues to get even more ludicrous as you go further down the odds.......

Maughan/O'Hara dream team please. The tanned twosome.

Unless Rochford is interested, I can't see anyone in that list realistically being in the picture

Having Eamonn O'Hara's name on any managerial list is the ultimate in madness. Don't forget that John Evans is still available.

highorlow

Buckley on that list at 6/1 is the bet.

He was the first man that entered my head when this fiasco appeared.
They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

icant see what would stop mc stay .
couldn't he coach roscommon in his spare time...

Seriously
it would be a major mistake to change now . Mayo Drew with the unbeatable Dubs  and were winning the replay with a few minutes to go and only that the players were falling like flies in the last quater they could well have won.
that is a sucessful year and it would be the height of stupidity to cut off you nose to spite your face just because the players and fans want a head .
Mayo probably need a few new players and management need to do a few things better but to get into a cycle of sacking manager just because they don't win an allireland is madness for a county who havent won since 1951 .
Before you know it luke dempsey or Tommy carr will be in charge

The same day McStay gets the Roscommon job the Mayo team is in revolt. Really couldn't write this.

:D
If they could only get Tommy Tom as well then it would be a real "If Carlsberg did management teams"

What manager was sacked for not winning an All Ireland ?

Shrewdness

What would happen if the following scenario happens.....As Mayo don't have another game for just 3 months, H/C might stand their ground, believing that their year was as good as some of James Horan's. They're bound to have the backing of the Co Board in this stance. Where does that leave the players? Do they go on strike?... The vote went 27-7 against H/C with a few players absent.

Ballaghman

If H & C weren't up to it and they weren't/aren't willing to walk away with dignity then the players had no option. They've seen what it's like to work in an elite environment and any backward step from that was always unacceptable. Are they a few players short? At the moment yes. Can a manager who is an improvement on Horan make up that difference? I think yes is the answer to that too.
These players are giving far too much commitment and sacrificing way more than most of us can fathom. If H & C were holding them back then they had no choice. People are talking about how they've put themselves under huge pressure. Nonsense. They're already putting themselves under more pressure than any other team is under. Having a good, trustworthy management team in place is the least they need to work with to land the big one. They're demanding it and rightfully so, otherwise they're wasting their time.
No matter who is in charge they'll win Connacht next year. The big tests come in August. The key now is to pick someone who is an improvement on Horan, not a backward step like the two lads (apparently) were.

Farrandeelin

An astute outsider would be the only option in my opinion. There aren't many of those around, however.

McStay must be sick that he didn't hold off on taking the Roscommon job for another week. Looking at the list of names proposed there are not too many jumping out as being top class and surely McStay would have been the obvious candidate.

He was very unlikely to have wanted the job after how he and his family members were dicked around last Autumn. A lot of people talking shite and not having a clue how toxic it was.
