Kildare manager 2016

[GalwayBayBoy]

Am I right in thinking Kildare only reached 1 Leinster final in the 6 years he was there? To be honest that is not a great record for a big (albeit success starved) football county. Granted they often did relatively well in the qualifiers.

I dunno. The players seem to love him but 6 years is a fair old spell to have in any county. If you haven't made the breakthrough by then is it really going to happen in year 7, 8 or 9? Hard to answer that one.

Given the youth breaking into the squad and the high esteem he's held in by the players the prudent thing would have been to keep him on for 2014. Kildare have only succeeded in creating a drama now.

Big losers are irish independent. Who will they talk about now if Kildare go backwards. They will have to find a new cause to Hype or Martin Brehony will have to put more mindless lists in the paper.

I just listened to a discussion about the 'sacking' on Newstalk. I just couldn't understand the disbelief expressed that this could actually happen. It was akin to discussing the  crucifixion of a deity after a sham trial.

Kildare were not exactly in the dumps before he came, no doubt he put in a lot of work, had some good years where Kildare got close and 'coulda gone all the way', then he's had 2 years where not much has happened. Maybe he had a strong case for staying but it's not such a shock that others don't see that argument.

How's the school for the deaf working out?

I'd say he's more worried about will they ever pay him!!!!

Best comment I've seen today on the subject is from an unnamed highly respected former Down club chairman.

"Kildare must have run out of cabbages."

Plan B will be the Dubs wiping the floor with Mayo in the first 15 mins of the final wining by the record Margins Kerry used to love to put up against Mayo in the middle of the last decade! The Dubs are supreme will give way to the Mayo God help us opinion pieces from McGee and Brehony !!

Kildare are shocking, really.

A well regarded fuball county that only won one all Ireland in the last 70 years between minor, club, under 21 and senior
I think that must be the worst record of the counties that take the game seriously. Even Ros won minor and club all Irelands.

There must be desperate county board messing and psychological issues at play going back generations.

We've also won countless provincial titles and two U21 AIs, you tube

Lets face it folks. The Kildare county board couldn't sustain the payment of a full time manager anymore. A manager who was costing them a clean feckin fortune

Why on earth was the chairman of said county board the one pushing for his reappointment then?
