County Manager Merry go round

[seafoid]

200m is a LOT of money. It's 200× 1000×1000 . Even though the huge Dubs funding was big it wasn't that big.

Donegal end the year in a much better state than they entered it. They were trína chéile during the league. Just wondering if Big Jim can replicate the magic again. Second comings are often difficult.

Looks like Raymond Galligan Cavan manager. Stephen O Neill part of backroom team.

Cavan should benefit from the fresh start.

200million breakdown
Most counties spend 1m on their football and hurling teams........fire in ladies football and camogie and round each county to 2m so that's £64M.......spent on Managerial and player expenses
There are approx 2500 clubs all spending between 10k and 100k on managerial and player expenses (not mileage but looking after injuries etc) so even an average of 50k gets you to £125m which makes it £189m
To mangers and backroom.

Physios
Nutritionists
Psychologist
Massues
Catering

Galligan to be manager rather than player manager. So ending his player career.

I know O Neill was a class player but how would he be perceived as a coach?

Was involved in senior backroom teams in Tyrone and Antrim(?). I know he was credited with turning around Tyrones fortunes up front a few years back and helping them become more creative.

Cavan new manager confirmed

Raymond Galligan is the new Cavan football manager, the county's 2020 Ulster winning captain heading up a stellar sideline ticket that includes two-time All-Ireland winning Meath ladies manager Eamonn Murray, former Tyrone forward Stephen O'Neill, and four-time World Cross-Country silver medalist Catherina McKiernan.

Galligan, Cavan's first-choice goalkeeper since 2015 and who wore that number one shirt as recently as their Tailteann Cup exit in-mid June, has been given a three-year term in the bainisteoir's bib.

James Burke, who was part of outgoing manager Mackey Graham's set-up, will remain as head coach.

As mentioned, there are a whole host of standout names in Galligan's backroom team. Eamonn Murray, who brought the Meath women from the intermediate ranks to back-to-back senior All-Irelands, is the assistant manager.

Stephen O'Neill won three All-Irelands with Tyrone; he will serve as their forwards coach.

Cavan native McKiernan, a hugely decorated cross-country runner and marathoner, holds the title of life coach.

Former League of Ireland shot-stopper Gary Rogers is on board as goalkeeping coach. Ronan Flanagan, a former Cavan teammate of Galligan's, is listed as the new player liaison officer.

50k average for clubs is a fair stretch of the imagination

Cavan looks like a very strong ticket. Danny Hughes was also in the race apparently.  He's quite good as well.

Look round most clubs next time you play a match and see how many people are on the sideline.......even some junior clubs would surprise you.

Most senior clubs with any ambition are spending way more than that.

You would expect a lot of positive energy from that management team with the blend of experience and insight. Cavan should secure progress in the League. I think it looks very positive for Cavan.
