Antrim Football Thread

[Saffrongael]

To be honest, and I could be wrong on this, but I wouldn't be too sure Harte is a mercenary at all. Also reading this thread I would expect Damien Cassidy and those mcnulty boys to be driving ferraris based on what I read but I am not sure on the accuracy on the money managers are being paid at all!

I'm certain Harte is

I'm certain you are wrong.

Just did it for the love of it ?

[Milltown Row2]

The bare minimum would be expenses. No one should out of pocket

[imtommygunn]

I dunno much about louth's finances but if he was such a mercenary I would expect him to be going to a much bigger county.

Yeah no one could quibble with expenses etc.

I didn't say he did. But he wasn't getting anywhere near the sort of money you are implying. Nowhere near the figures suggested. Antrim are paying big bucks for their new set up for sure

Morgan Fuels.

Statsports is the money man behind it apparently. Mickey Harte was on big money in Tyrone, Antrim couldn't afford him. But it's a big risk for his legacy going to the Louth. What can he actually achieve with them. At least with the likes of antirm the only way is up.

This is true, the Statsports are men from Gilesquay and by all accounts with their backing the Louth job is one of the most attractive in terms of finances

Late to the Party Guys, Great appointment last week. Hope we can build on from here on in.
we really need to improve the standard of the schools football and put a real emphasis on this in the coming years. probably sound like a broken record., but the population of St.Mary's CBS and St.Louis should be more than capable of competing at a MacRory Cup level. These are what we have to build for in the coming years and getting youngsters exposure to this high level football and getting more guys exposure to Sigerson level football when they reach that age. 
A goal should be an u17 Ulster within 4 years and maybe an u20 in five years.

[EOC1923]

Who is in charge of the U17s and U20s in 2021? I see Mickey Harte has taken on Louth U20s along with the seniors

[Cranfield]

I'd say it's the same as last year. Hugh McG with 20's and Donal Laverty & Paddy Kelly with U-17s.
Both seemed like good setups.

[bannside]

No coincidence that Cavan and Tipperary made provincial breakthroughs at the weekend. Both had exceptionally good minor and under 21s teams if you go back half a dozen years. Hard work put in got its reward.

[bannside]

No pressure Donal and Paddy lol.

[jeremiah]

I know Hugh's taking Rossa next year. Under 20 usually early in the year so good chance he'll be able to do both

[NatSoSaff]

U20's were very impressive last year so hopefully Hugh and his staff are staying on or alternatively EMcG goes the route of Mickey Harte and gets directly involved with that group also.
Does anyone know if that U20 squad are losing many players from last year's squad?
