Strangely gone out of fashion, since the demise of certain counties.

JAmes Horan in as Westport manager
that means the last 2 mayo manager are now at Westport .

Horan is taking over a good group of lads. Westport have a serious group of lads coming through at present. The bulk of their All Ireland Intermediate club side were under 25 and younger! They won the under 21 County championship with Pat Holmes this year and they have been winning county Minor/under16 titles and so on the last couple of years.

Horan (as you'd expect) is not joining a sinking ship. He has looked at this and sees an opportunity!

[Syferus]

Some serious money in play for Westport to be snagging those managers.

Holmes lives in Westport. His (very) Young lads play for Wesport GAA and Westport Utd FC. I'd be surprised if he got anything out of the extraordinary for the under 21 gig!

Horan on the other hand.........

Great to see James back involved. The emergence of Westport is a huge bonus for Mayo as it has traditionally been a soccer and rugby bastion. The more interesting news this week is the proposed transfer of Donie Vaughan to Castlebar from Ballinrobe. Will seriously strengthen their hand if true.

He did the same with Ballintubber which them gave him the opportunity to get into county management. He is probably planning long term with this gig now maybe eyeing up Galway seniors as another opportunity!

He'd have gotten the Galway job with or without Westport if he wanted it. He's doing it for the cash, let's not beat around any bushes here and pretend there's some grand plan.

[joemamas]

seriously, how much cash do you think a club manager in Mayo gets ?

lets say they get 100 a session. so 50 x 100 = 5,000. or even 150 a session x 50 =7,500
Hardly life changing.

Am I way off, I genuinely don't know.

[Rossfan]

Start at €10k

I'm not lambasting him for it. For the sake of a few evenings a week you can make a bit of cash and hopefully give a good service to the club in question too. But don't mistake it as being part of any great plan to take over in any county.

Doubt it's a per session fee, salary I would imagine.

How in the f**k would you know what James Horan's intentions or motivations are?
