A certain Kerry man in breaffy house Friday night. Fact.

I actually had a text from a kerry friend of mine at the weekend saying that this rumour was rife down there. I wouldn't like to see that bollix anywhere near the team

If that's the case this will end similar to the previous JackO experiment all them years ago.
I reckon someone on our board has the "Kerrys golden years" video at home on constant loop and believes football ended sometime in the early 80s

I don't understand this, Jack O'Connor has nothing to do with the Kerry establishment of those days. He is a proven manager at this level, and when not at this level is a proven All Ireland winner at underage.

Hell of a sight better than the one trick pony that is Jimmy McGuinness, we dodged a bullet with that charlatan who hasn't achieved anything in Gaelic Football in years

That said, Horan should be the preferred candidate for me

I was referring to the county boards apparent obsession with all things Kerry; nothing to do with Jack O Connor specifically. Every time theres a vacancy we seem to have some eeijet off in the car to Valentia, or Waterville or somewhere else in the Kingdom begging one of the lads to do us a solid and come up and show us how to play ball. Its embarrassing. I've absolutely no argument with his record, he gave us a few schoolings over the years. Hes just not the right man for us and  it wont end well if this is the road they are going down.

I could have sworn I saw something on twitter last friday that Jack O'Connor had confirmed to a Kerry radio station that he was staying on with their u20's?

The game has changed a lot at senior since even wee Jack was last in charge. Bizarre to call Jim McGuiness a charlatan when he still remains the last person to beat Dublin in the championship.

Enjoy being bled dry if this isn't the usual wind up..

I wonder if Jack is playing the oul trick of being seen in public in Mayo to put pressure on the Kerry CB to appoint him.

Are you seriously comparing Jack O'Shea who never managed again to Jack O'Connor who won many All Irelands at schools,minor,U21 and senior level?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

no. I'm not comparing them, but I am saying that if he goes to Mayo the end result will be more or less the same. "this will end similar to the previous JackO experiment all them years ago" was my comment

Why?
- He doesn't rate Mayo or Mayo football (source his book and other media comments)
- Its too far away from where he lives to be practical
- This bring in a celebrity manager rarely works anymore. Success over the past 10 - 15 years in both codes has come from someone generally in the county who understands the structures in that county and the personnel available to them
