Joe Kernan Steps down

[norabeag]

Just heard on news that Joe Kernan has tendered his resignation
No real surprise as his tenure has been a bit of a damp squib

[ross4life]

After one year.... make's one wonder why did he bother taking the job in the first place?

yo yos? or maybe it was his family ties with Galway

[ross4life]

Moran is getting plenty of yo yos from Leitrim & he's still there

[Maguire01]

That's a bit ridiculous. Unless it's for personal reasons you really need to give it a go for a few years, no matter how bad the first year went.

[clarshack]

think he should have given it another lash tbh.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Seems a strange one. I would have thought he would have given it another year to be honest and I think most people were happy to give him another year. He didn't have much luck with injuries and the like this year so I assumed he would be back for another go. Maybe he just got sick of the travel.

Apparently Kevin Walsh will be tendering his resignation to the Sligo County board also - looks like there's been a coup

[Clarin Pearl]

unless Walsh wants to stand in midfield i think he should do another year in sligo

[ballinaman]

Aer Arann will take a big hit so....

[The face]

I'd say Monaghan will go after Kernan

[Logan]

Maybe Banty can get enough money in for next year to team up Grimley and Joe again

[Canalman]

"Steps down" open to interperatation imo.

Pendulum swinging again towards "home grown " managers.

I suspect that Kernan was unaware of the lack of depth of talent in Galway at the moment. That + the travelling may have been a big factor in this. Once Galway had the injuries they endured this year, they just do not have the replacements. Personally, I would liked to have seen him give it one more year. We werent a million miles away from an AI Q/F this year (Bradshaws mistake for the goal was all that was really in it because I firmly believe this Galway team would have beaten Ros). And as people say, there isnt much point just doing it for 1 year. He wouldnt have known much about the fring e players before this year. Maybe the travelling just got too much for him...

A whole review needs to be done of Galway football; Similiar to what is planned in Mayo
