Search for New Mayo Manager

[weareros]

Apparently, there was a very large attendance at that book launch the other night. It was the biggest gathering of Mayo people (and Ballagh sympathisers) seen in Co Roscommon since last July's Connacht Final!!

Definitely one for the bonfire.

Jesus ye have an awful lot of hate for Johnno. Still the best manager Mayo Ghollwhey have produced in over half a century.

Fixed that.

[muppet]

The hate here for O'Mahony has little to do with GAA and a lot to do with politics, but lads won't say that.

Ballagh, the town that lumps it's lot into Co Roscommon for elections, County Council grants, Irish Sports Council funding, Leader funding, Clar funding, BMW funding, Community Games competitions and much much more

but in Mayo for GAA
you tell me where the chip on the shoulder lies

no its  a mixture of both
mainly because O mahoney took the Mayo Job the second time for policital purposes and made a balls of it

Saw in the paper Horan won't be returning. It said Tony McEntee could be part of a possible management team with Rochford.

McEntee was linked with the job last year. He would toughen up that Mayo full back line.

Mayo want McEntee to join management team
Irish Daily Mail23 Oct 2015By MICHEAL CLIFFORD

TONY McENTEE could be part of the Mayo football management team next season. It is understood that the Crossmaglen All-Ireland winning manager has been contacted about the possibility of working with Stephen Rochford — the odds-on favourite to be named as manager next month. McEntee is regarded as one of the hottest coaching talents in the game and is currently managing prestigious Dublin club St Brigid's, but is understood to be keen to get involved in a senior position at inter-county level. Already this autumn, he turned down an approach from Down to take on their team, a position he was interviewed for, and made an impression, last year before the county board baulked at the proposed budgetary commitment. However, he remains interested in getting into the inter-county game. McEntee, a member of Armagh's historic 2002 All-Ireland-winning team, made a sensational start in management when, along with Gareth O'Neill, he led Crossmaglen to back-to-back All-Ireland titles and three
Ulster titles in a row between 2011 to 2013. The logistics involved in travelling to Mayo is one of the considerations which McEntee (right) will have to factor in, but the prospect of working with the five-in-a-row Connacht champions is likely to prove appealing. While nominations for the Mayo manager's position will remain open until November 1, privately it is accepted that the search to replace the ill-fated Pat Holmes/ Noel Connelly one-year reign will not take long. Holmes and Connelly stepped down after receiving a vote of no confidence from the Mayo panel early this month. It is understood that contact was made with Crossmolina native and Corofin All-Ireland winning manager Rochford last week, who has publicly declared his desire to manage his native county. While former manager James Horan has been linked with the job and has not moved publicly to quell speculation of a return, it is understood he is no longer considered to be in the frame for consideration by board chiefs. This week board chairman Mike Connelly confirmed that the manager would be in place by the third week of next month at the latest.

Third week of November. You'd have to wonder when the dust settles with such a late appointment has all the drama really improved Mayo's chances in 2016 at all?

[Rossfan]

Stop worrying about your effin rhubarb mates Syfín.

[Tubberman]

We expect it from him, he can't help himself. But the rest of ye are as bad in this thread. Fck sake lads, have a bit of self-respect and not be obsessing over your neighbours.

Hard to argue with the point made so you go for the man. Understandable in the circumstances I guess.

What point? Will we be better in 2016? How can I (or anyone) answer that when the new mgmt haven't been appointed yet!?
If you consider that playing the man, you're a delicate flower.

But if we were to end up with Rochford and McEntee, I would be very satisfied indeed. I don't think we'd be behind in any meaningful way by not having them appointed in October...

So what are other county managers doing this time of the year? No meaningful fixture for months yet.

Besides its not like next manager will be doing a root and branch review of the panel. Might be 4/5 personnel changes.
Relax Sy. It's a long time until next Aug!

What happened that he is no longer in the frame?

I'd be one of those who dislike him because of political persuasion. I don't remember Johnno part 1. His second coming didn't inspire much. That's the main reason I amn't his fan.

I don't know. But last week Aiden Henry had his usual swipe at Horan and at that stage thought he was a shoo-in.
