Lads aside from County is anyone else noticing a scramble at club level too.
In Kildare there are a lot of decent senior clubs looking for new coaches.

In Kildare there are a lot of decent senior clibs looking for new coaches.

Even in Leitrim that's the case. The two finalists was managed by Former Sligo footballer Eamon O'Hara and Alan Flynn who led Galways U21s to the AI. He's off to Tipperary as a coach for Liam Kearns

Perhaps the clubs don't have the money to be lashing out on the managers anymore

Rumours are that they're going to be announced tomorrow night.

Shambles of a process to find them, but best of luck to them. Hope they're up to the task. At least they're starting from a fairly low point.

Published in the media tonight looks like a done deal.

Paddy Carr has been ratified as the new Donegal senior football team manager with Aidan O'Rourke appointed as his head coach.


That leaves just Roscommon to appoint a manager. County board meeting to be held on Wednesday.

Murphy would been a better bet.

Murphy would been a better bet.

A man who has never managed a team in his life?

What's Donegals supporters school of thought on this appointment?

Personally, can't say I'm thrilled, but let's give them a chance and see how they do.

It's been grim as f**k the past two years.

They can't work miracles and uncover two or three intercounty standard defenders that just aren't there in the county, but hopefully they'll at least get us motoring up front again and playing positive football. No one is expecting All Irelands.

Caption time.

Jez, anyone would be better than Declan Bonner and his entourage.

From a promising start they proceeded to turn a young group of players into the most fearful/unadventurous bunch ever.

With the most depressing brand of football.

The potential is surely there as seen by the hammering ye gave us in Ulster last year and even in the qualifier were the better team for a lot of the first half

I think the most interesting thing about this process was how long it took for 3 division 1 teams- Ros, Donegal and Monaghan- to get a new manager.
