Derry Club Football & Hurling

[the goal was on]

Paddy Bradley and Aidan O Rourke could be good shout, Would Damien cassidy like another shot at it?

You must know f*** all about football coming out with that. Mental

Well rory was a disaster as manager of donegal . Managers learn as they go too. I was refering to them as options if the main contenders don't want it . People mentioning Jim Galvin!! Sweet jesus. If we are looking an all ireland winning manager the pick is limited

Am I alone in not wanting Gallagher back?

[Wildweasel74]

Er no, Moran had Derry enough times and put them bck, not the right age profile anyway.

I wouldn't want him myself.
Not sure he'd want it anyway, bit of a difference managing a club side and a county side.

[bannside]

Disagree, think their individual talents would be a lot lot better than some of the appointments being made or being mooted here - and the combination further enhances that.

Laughable really that anyone can't see this being a very credible option. Football management has changed, its mo longer a one man operation. Its about combining a versatile array of talents across numerous roles and responsibilities.

Am I alone in not wanting Gallagher back?

I'd say it's more 50/50 than discussion on here would suggest, anyone I speak to is more concerned about the massive PR damage it would do, so many more kids running about in Derry gear than there would the 10 years previous, would parents be willing to have their kids be associated with Gallagher and Derrynifbhe returned? Situation was handled poorly enough at the time

[OakLeaf]

Am I alone in not wanting Gallagher back?

No, I wouldn't either. He's too tainted at this stage (rightly or wrongly). Malachy O'Rourke for me.

[Estimator]

Am I alone in not wanting Gallagher back?

Nope. I'm with you on that one. Don't think it would be good for the county to have him reinstalled.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Agree with oakleaf and estimator

[Wildweasel74]

If O'Rourke in, it would hopefully bring in the other Glen men that should be on the panel. He seen every team this year and past couple yrs over Glen, so he's seen what Div 1 players there are in the county which he think be good enough. Derry need to be running of a min panel of 36 this year, and Glen been playing fairly defensive in the league so the playing style not alter much.

Definitely the worst shout on here, you cant just give the inexperienced a 'shot at it'. We are at the stage where we are competing for Sam, and just need to get over this team over the line. You cant just throw anyone into the deep end, has to be someone well experienced and capable for the Job. Only men I can think of that could do this and are realistic contenders are MOR, Jim Gavin, and of course Gallagher.

Someone suggesting Damian mcErlain coming back is the worst shout on here, either that or it was a piss take.

Meenagh gone.

Source?

If you know any Derry players ask them.

Well known over a month Meenagh was gone.

The director of operations and chairman have been working overtime to try and lay the ground for a return for Gallagher but others such as sponsors have other ideas.

Sad really. Hope it doesn't spell the end of this Derry team like in 94 after the removal of Coleman.

[Wildweasel74]

Back then the players wouldn't play for the manager after the last one got shafted, not the case this time round.
