County Manager Merry go round

[IolarCoisCuain]

Offaly man Pat Flanagan and current manager of Padraig Pearses has been nominated by Pearses to become the new Roscommon senior football manager.  Has said they know my CV and know where I am. 

Not sure if that would be a the right appointment for Roscommon, a good and successful club manager but has struggled to make any impact at county level.

I thought he'd been made Longford manager, or is that another Pat Flanagan?

Was linked to the Longford gig by the media and has said today

"It just baffles me at times to see where these stories come from; I've had absolutely no contact with Longford whatsoever"

Thanks Cunny. I stand corrected.

Is Counihan the man in Monaghan ??
The rumours are strong

Think so yeah

And yet there's no white smoke.  I fancy Jason Sherlock (not that he will get the job), he's had experience coaching for years with arguably the best ever GAA set up/ county team, he's been a player as well at the top level and I'd be confident that he has the wherewithal to select a good backroom team. And obviously he's highly motivated to be a successful county team manager as he's focused on getting the Monaghan job.
But as Banty says wisely, county team management is akin to running a medium to large sized business, so much to take care of.

Am hearing a dark horse from the occupied six counties has now entered the race
Comes from a relatively decent source but who the f**k knows what's going on
Heard that Jayo has now pulled a team together also & that Counihan wasn't fancied by a certain grouping of the squad ( the elder statesmen )

It's a f**king lottery
Still think we're going to end up with a total chancer

The Mayo management selection process is like a boy band audition process for the county cabal merry go round. I think its very likely McStay will get the job this time.

As for Monaghan, it would be daft to go for someone like Sherlock who is probably only going to take the job with a short term view. They need a complete rebuild and should be looking to make an appointment internally with the longer term intentions of the county at heart. I'd expect a raft of retirements in Monaghan as a lot of those players have their best days behind them.

Dublin GAA have appointed Micheál Donoghue as senior hurling manager for a three-year term.

Donoghue previously managed his native Galway, leading them to the All-Ireland SHC title in 2017.

Kevin McStay confirmed as the new Mayo senior manager.

[Wildweasel74]

Surprised  to be honest,  when he was doing commentary you never guess he was a Mayo man the way he put then down half the time, and have a live in for Dublin and Kerry.

Best of luck to McStay. In reality it's a poisoned chalice as only the big one will do and yet I personally think there'll be a few lean years for a while to come.

Recognising the need for a new voice and direction in Roscommon football, and unable resolve some of the factors currently involved, Kevin McStay has called time on his position as manager.

Although in line to serve another two seasons, McStay leaves on amicable terms with the county board, and, interestingly, said his decision "marks my retirement from senior inter county football management" - thus ruling him out of the recently vacated Mayo management position, or indeed elsewhere.

And only last year on a radio interview he said he'd come out of inter County management retirement if the Mayo senior gig became available again.

McStay hates Dublin but does have a horn for Kerry.

[Wildweasel74]

At least u officially took him off the air.

Hopefully Solan or Dempsey will take a big huff & throw their lot in with Roscommon & save us from Flanagan.
