Title: New Cavan Manager
Post by: mylestheslasher on July 10, 2010, 09:26:07 PM
Tommy Carr quit after todays hammering to cork. Would someone like peter canavan be mad enough to give it a go. Don't see any manager with a good reputation coming to cavan to risk ruining it. We are going to have to take a punt on an inexperienced man.

I'd imagine only a Cavan man would take the job at the moment. An experienced manager wouldn't risk tainting his reputation and an up and coming ambitious one would hardly think Cavan will add to his value. No, I'd say a local man is the most likely solution. Are there any decent ones?

There are no obvious candidates with enough experience within the county.

:D :D :D, did you not read what I said about young up and coming managers?  ;) ;D Sure I've my hands full with my current lot but if ye put a few decent underage sides together you might find me arriving on yer doorstep wondering if there's a bit of coaching to be had. You have to pick and chose your teams if you're to get ahead in this game ;)

Micko for a year for a lease of life and to clear out the half-hearted players?

Let a local manager do the u21's. If he gets on well, give him the job when Micko goes?

Don't know if Kingspan in their current state could afford to pay Micko's expenses though  ;D

Heard a rumour a few weeks ago about Pillar Caffrey being approached - dont know how true it is though.

Wouldnt suprise me if he were interested due to his Cavan connections.He would be a good appointment i believe.
He would at least bring some professionalism to the set-up which has been missing during the last few regimes.

Joe Kernan, probably looking for a new challenge.

Micko would have done maybe 5 years ago, just don't see it now.

Kernan won the All Ireland in his first year.

Harte won the All Ireland in his first year

Therefore....... Any new manager will be expected to win something in his first year.

Thats the bottom line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cavan recently have been looked on by some as a gold mine and wealthy county that can afford to pay well .... think of the men who've been in charge recently (Keoghan apart)

If Cavan haven't the coin for the big name it might not be the worst thing either.

One thing is for sure, Cavan football needs a whole level review far more than Mayo do.

If Cavan don't have the players it's a waste of money going for another outsider.

There's two points made previously that dispute that ...
Someone said earlier, how can there not be players in a (big) county that eats, sleeps and breathes football 24/7?
And ... Louth would have been saying the same things about not having players a few months ago.

Cavan is not like Cork or Galway ... it's not got a 2nd sport to compete with.

I have trained and played football for a long time and my attitude is this. In any game (assuming fitness is there) the result will come from 80% attitude and the rest is skill and maybe tactics. You can have average players but get them signing of the same hymn sheet, get the believing in themselves and get them fighting for each other and they will do well. In the end they can come up against a similarly motivated team with better players and they will lose. Cavan have not had that consistenly for years. For 25 mins against Wicklow we seemed to have it but against Cork we were back to same. Cavan need a motivator someone to kick these lads up the ass. Louth and Sligo have shown what can be done. We may not have players to win Sam or even the Anglo Celt but we can do better that scoring 4 points in a whole championship match.

I was going to type that but fair play you did it for me - correct and right.

Agree
And it's not a lot to ask for either
