Was Donnelly to Ulster rugby not true, or will he be doing both?

there are rumours that walsh is out and rochford is in. but it's all speculation at the moment. if walsh leaves, he will have been more or less pushed

Would that be seen as a step up? not sure how Rochford has built up such a reputation. Added little to Donegal this year and won nothing with Mayo

All Ireland Club winner and very highly thought of by players.

Big difference between winning the club All Ireland with one of the greatest club sides of all time and county management. Just dont rate him that highly at all. Donegal seemed to have gone back this year with him involved and his time at Mayo was a failure hasnt even a provincial title over his three years. Galway would be much better off going with a local.

That's very interesting. . . has there been a fall out there?? Why would he abandon Tyrone and head to Monaghan?!!

It's probably a consultancy role, Tyrone was more hands on.

Tyrone being  more fíor " gaels" couldn't be having a rugbyite around the place?

How did Donegal "go back" this year?

They lost one game, away to a top-level opponent they have always had trouble matching up to in recent years, especially in the physical stakes. Handled Tyrone fairly handily too.

Donegal camp all around have been very complimentary about Rochford and have advocated for him to stay on. Haven't heard any unofficial murmurings to the contrary either.

Rumor would have it that Dave Morris is a significant part of the ticket.  I don't believe that there is a better option made up of 100% locals, but I'm open to correction on that !

That's up to Galway, but if you win an All Ireland Club in a county, your going to have a good reputation in that county to live off for awhile. Lest we forget he suffered some serious bad luck on the biggest one of them all. He arguably was in charge of the best team to lose the AI.

Confirmation that Galway Senior footballers will be looking for a new manager, official statement from Kevin Walsh read out on Galway Bay FM there.
Thanks to Kevin Walsh and all members of the back room team for the last 5 years, for all the criticism you'd have to say he left it in a better spot than when he took it over IMO.

I don't think it would be a surprise if he had an agreement with Bonner he could leave if a job came up he wanted. I'm sure one of the Donegal lads will put me right but didn't Lacey change his mind a few years ago after been ratified?

He basically lost Mayo an All Ireland by changing his goal keeper for the final which was one of the stupidiest pieces of management the game has ever seen.  Also his record in connaght to not win one in three attempts is a very poor record and dont give me this shite of they were'nt targetting them. No Mayo team goes out to lose to Galway.
Anyway with Walsh gone i think it would be a step back for Galway to appoint Stephen

I feel a bit sad for Kevin Walsh today to be honest.
Criticism comes with the territory in county management but I felt there was a huge lack of respect shown to the man this year from a lot of quarters within the county. Whilst I would be in agreement that a change was needed for 2020 - most teams need a fresh voice after a period of time and Kevin did 5 seasons - but still it leaves a bad taste in the mouth imo.
As a supporter I can only thank the man for the huge effort put in over the past 5 years and there is no doubt we are better than we were when he took over.
