He'll probably have good contacts to assemble a decent management/back room team.Quote from: Gael85 on August 28, 2022, 05:30:35 PM
Ger Brennan to be appointed Monaghan manager.

This is f**king car crash material
Counihan seemingly not wanted because he had no senior inter county management experience & was black balled by the players as a result , conveniently overlooking the fact that the man has probably the most complete & comprehensive knowledge of the younger players in the County
We now look like we are going to appoint a manager with no inter county management experience & zero knowledge of anyone most likely outside of a small handful of our senior team- and even that would be a superficial level of knowledge.
No semblance of a long term plan or thoughts towards rebuilding the team which is badly needed.
A f**king car crash is putting it kindly.
Like I said a superficial at best knowledge of Monaghan football
This might surprise you but there aren't bus loads of young lads heading to UCD from Monaghan
Those that do would number in the less than 100 per year bracket I would say
Those that would play either fresher or Sigerson would number less than 10 possibly less than 5 that he sees every day.
The rest that he sees / hears of via the third level system via word of mouth / jungle telegraph is hardly in-depth knowledge a là Counihan.
Ger Brennan would be focussing on a those tiny few capable of playing / at a facility where it's possible to play Sigerson level football
Like I said - a f**king car crash
