Some County Boards are keen to splash the cash, Down mustn't be!

Maybe Ross and DJ are the best option for them

   Have you not been following the Ross Carr saga? He was stood down after his three year stint
and after asking for another year it was turned down by a 4 to 1 majority
Stupid me.

Nobody in particular Logan.

I don't even know if I agree with the idea at all, but it does seem a bit strange that the people most directly affected by an appointment have no grounds for opinion at all. I guess the same thing happens in all sports though.
They must been asked in some shape or form or let their feelings be known that thet really do want McGrath.
I thought they wanted Tally?
What about McCartan?

If players have an opinion then they should voice it through their clubs once the shortlist is known.
I'm not a great believer in these quasi players groups having a say as they are always railroaded by the more vocal of the team and that isn't necessarily a good thing.

If we really are interested in Wee James, we should offer him the position now. With Grimley now away to Monaghan, I'd imagine Armagh will be examining his case very closely. And their County Board will spend the necessary.

Don't worry - there's bound to be another Armagh man wanting out of the county!!

Can you let us  all know when the you have the names on the shortlist.


I can only but assume that the five man committee set up the to review football management the will draw up a shortlist of the willing the candidates.

What makes you say that wobbler?

Not sure McCartan would be interested taking the Armagh job on his own and I wouldn't be certain our county baord would contemplate appointing a Down man.

Would taking the Armagh job affect McCartan's chances of being the Down manager at a later date? Didn't stop the Mayo lads welcoming O'Mahony back I suppose.

Well he had Aidan O'Rourke with him at Queens, so maybe that'll be the new management team.  ;D

I would nearly rather have MH than a down man at the helm of armagh. I will be happy with an outsider as long as they are not from either Down or Tyrone, in that order. Cant trust the hoors at the best of times.  ::)
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Fantastic to see this has turned into yet another Our Ma thread.  The hoors think the world revolves around them.   ::)

Could they not just leave us to our own wretched situation?

If you could stop your former players showing interst in our wretched situation we would be happy not to hijack your wee thread. :-\

Have a quick look there to see who brought Armagh into the conversation. Good man.

Would a Tally - McCartan pairing be considered?
