Armagh management :Paddy O'Rourke!!!

[pintsofguinness]

Half Viable candidates within the county in my view, none of which set the pulse racing...

Donal Murtagh
Justin McNulty
John Rafferty
Peter Rafferty
Brian McAlinden
Paul Kelly

viable coaching / assistant candidates...

bumpy o'hagan
diarmaid marsden
Paul McShane
Adrian Clarke
Brendan Hughes
Justin McNulty
Mattie Lennon

That about it?

That's depressing

[Over the Bar]

I don't find it at all strange that many Armagh people would like to see a Tyrone man taking charge. 

Jimmy Cricket is the man for the job!

[PatDaly]

Why don't Armagh approach Pete McGrath? What are the chances he might be interested in the job?

[Logan]

Maybe Aidan O'Rourke is the man?

[rrhf]

Would Donal Murtagh not look the ticket, very similar case study to big Joe - either way a decision needs to be made quick.  It must be very frustrating for potential players and supporters.   

[Donagh]

Maybe Aidan O'Rourke is the man?

The first decent suggestion I seen on this thread yet.

If Peter Rafferty still doesn't want it then  O'Rourke is the logical choice.

Grimely was always going to be a mistake and I'm glad he's stuffed it up for himself.

I think it's too early for AOR to be #1

Perhaps he could work alongside Pete McGrath?

No, he's good enough, smart enough and young enough - let him at it.

If you had a team on the verge of AI success next year or so I'd say yeh AOR is too young and inexperienced - but you're not.
You've got to look at it with a 2 - 3 year plan and that gives him plenty of time to improve and get his game right.

I'd give him a clean slate and let him at it.

[naka]

AOR whilst a nice guy doesnt cut it for me at the moment, let him build up his experience working with club sides and then let him loose on the county,
at the moment i would be happy with mc alinden/rafferty to rebuild and consolidate

[Logan]

Well add him to the ticket then - you need to think succession ... so we're not in this mess next time round

Hopefully Aidan will be busy with dromintee next year

[thewanderer]

Logan you appear to be a complete p***k making comments in relation to Paul Grimley when you obviously dont know the man or the reasons for not taking the Armagh job. I hope the I.T. expert finds out who you are.!!!!! Stick to factual comments not Walt Disney ones.

[rrhf]

WTF... an IT expert - this has to be O NEILL on a total wind up..
