Rufus you really cannot fathom that someone would have an opinion that differs to your own , but please try to keep up , your habit of selectively rubbishing a point from the previous post while ignoring the substantive issue is becoming boring.

I will go over it again for those somewhat challenged that they cannot get their head around the idea, Armagh do not have to be mediocre !!! For decades they have wasted the playing resources of the county by having no strategic planning on how to utilise great support base , good financial backers ,good players and good facilities. This pattern is broken once every 12 years or so when an individual or two decide to break the cycle and short term structures are put in place to allow progress , as soon as the individuals leave its back to square one .

My thoughts are that Armagh now have an ideal opportunity to put the planning in place to position all the county teams in a competive place for the next decade , what has gone on for the previous 10 years is not fit for purpose!!

Who fills to roles within the plan is another debate entirely.

Would you be able to handle that much change Rufus ?? Get off your knees !!!

To be honest Rufus I think the succession plan is only a rumour ,someone putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5 , that kind of forward planning is way beyond the CB abilities imo.

But hey Rufus you keep sniping away there , analyse everybody else's posts and pass judgement on them without ever having an original thought of you own.

Succession plan is being put in place very similar to last one , Tony Mac to come in for a year with McGeeney to appease the Cross playing contingent and McGeeney detractors ,with McGeeney and co.departing at the end of 2019 regardless of results. McEntee then gets five year deal

Could be all speculation but you heard it here first , word from the West is that McEntee already gone from Mayo.

Spot on analysis Larry , lack of debate at CB meeting in no way can be taken as support . The default position of Armagh CB historically is to keep the incumbent in position even if there no widespread support for them and the dogs in the street know the team is underperforming , this is at all levels.

Lazy leadership , saves a lot of hassle looking for a replacement.

I would think that notice should be served to the clubs to allow a discussion among the members to ensure the clubs delegate are mandated prior to the CB meeting , also allows them time to prepare their argument either for or against .

Couldn't chance a repeat of the Kildare scenario !!

I would sense a wide spread desire for change as the attendances have dropped at an alarming rate , and the majority of people you talk to at club games refuse to watch Armagh,.
You can be sure there will be no debate on McGeeny's future , same as last year where the clubs weren't informed the reappointment was on the agenda and no debate was held at club level to let delegates express the opinions of their members , not very democratic !!!

Busy at work !!! Will be getting a warning shortly I'm sure from all the "righteous and true "Armagh supporters for not posting some shite at least twice a day to allow them a sanctimonious reply from on high . (See orchardfans.com)

After the abuse I have taken on here since expressing an opinion contrary to the KKMcG club I feel entitled to be a little sarcastic.

As I have already pointed out I'm only expressing my own opinion

Well spoken , self elected president and spokesman for Armagh core support , if you don't go to a McKenna cup match you have no opinion !
What about the thousands who won't go because they vote with their feet !

I would think that sums up what a lot of Armagh people think , CB probably think differently though, but one can only live in hope !!!

Just to follow the analogy , you get a site investigation report done to identify ground conditions before you start and don't accept sub-standard materials through the gate, have someone check you are receiving what you are paying for, if they aren't capable of quality control replace them. So we have a situation where we have dug and poured the founds which all have to come out again because the contractor can't manage the job , who pays to put it all right ? The client or the contractor ?

I know he has a job , but good template to follow if ever a vacancy arose .
