Harte,because of his relative success (1 All Ireland and 2 Backdoors) seems to have the same undue influence as Ferguson did at Man Utd,in that he is virtually unsackable.
This is not good for any sporting team,as the aftermath of Ferguson's reign is now proving

Of Tony's 1000's of banal social media contributions,  few fully reflect his bitterness and feelings of sporting inferiority in the way this does.     :) Armagh and Spurs - a true specialist underachieving supporter if there ever was one! !

So speaks an Antrim man.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

With the talent tyrone have had coming through most people would agree that they have seriously underachieved for the last 7 seasons under harte. A lucky draw this year where they didnt beat any of the top teams has skewed the views of a lot of tyrone supporters who earlier in the season were crying out for a change. Also if it hadnt been for all the negative publicity after the mccann disgusting dive and the monaghan game which seemed to galvanise a "nobody likes us, we dont care" sort of attitude I think most people would still be happy for harte to go.He has made an absolute hash of bringing through some top talent like kyle coney and ronan oneill and tyrone rune the risk of another group of young players being mismanaged.

My point exactly.Joe Kernan was six years with Armagh,and that was two years too long.Last year due to the luck of the draw Armagh reached the All Ireland qtr final,as did Fermanagh this year.Sadly this is no marker of where a county is truly at,as we saw with Armagh this year.

Tyrone need a change of direction,away from boorishness and puke football and petty vendettas,and those in the County Board who recognise this and are being proactive are to be applauded.The easy way out would be to stick with a popular manager living on (increasingly distant) past glories.

They were in an All Ireland Semi this year if this is failure

McAleer and Rushe would not be sponsoring Tyrone only for the success Mickey Harte provided.  One of the great managers of the modern game.  I am pretty sure Harte is hard to get on with.  There is always idiots who think they can do better.  I seen it in Laois with Micko every excuse under the sun to sack him.  The same ones as on here I.e weak draw , great crop of players should have done better.  As it stands in Laois nobody bettered Micko in fact we steadily got worse.  same in Meath .  This will happen in Tyrone too Harte should be cherished not undermined.

Armagh must have very little to live on so.

Interesting comparison with Mick O'... as he stayed on far too long with Kerry and even admitted so himself at the end..

Maybe Mick O Dwyer stayed on a couple of years too long, but he still won 3 All-Irelands in his final 5 years which is a decent enough return.

Jasus I had to laugh at that :) :) :)

Aaron Boone

Mickey was struggling in his mock role-play interviews is the story.
He really needs to buck up for the real thing.

T Fearon

He needs to have a shave! I can just picture an interview Tyrone style.

"Ah,come on in Mr Harte,take a sate! Can a get ye a mouthful of water?" ;D

He will undoubetdly be reappointed but more than likely on a one year deal with conditions. It's great to see that someone has eventually stood up to him and he can't just walk over the top of everyone. Well done Roisin Jordan.
