I can't wait for Monday night... At least we'll be a bit clearer as what's going to happen and this thread may veer on course again.

Horan returning is high risk for both panel and management.

And Mayo's best underage forward of recent years may as well use the parentage rule to switch counties if Horan is back.

This coming from a county that can't beat Sligo?

Serious pressure on Roscommon next year in my opinion

[Captain Obvious]

What makes Kevin McStay high profile? because he's a pundit on the Sunday game? John Evans won a club All Ireland and managed a senior county team before becoming Roscommon manager.

A Mayo thread about Roscommon , ahh sure now .

Lar Naparka, you seem to imply that someone in the Co Board leaked to a journalist, the details of how certain players voted...But , answer me this. How did anyone in the Co Board know how any player voted? Didn't the players meet and vote in secret? How did the names of Lee Keegan, Andy Moran, Tom Parsons and Mark Ronaldson get from the meeting to the Co Board?

[moysider]

One mess leads to another.

Maybe there will be questions from about what exactly.

The top table in CB showed poor judgement to try and ring-fence management from reproach at the end of the championship.

If they encourage this type of reaction then they are damaging us even more. Last year questions about a very dubious appointment were ridiculed and laughed out of hand. Delegates last year who expressed misgivings about H&C were ridiculed.  If there are patsies in place to drive the agenda below, God Help us indeed.

The Connaught Telegraph understands that the process of getting a new senior county manager will not be a priority until the many questions regarding why Holmes and Connelly were hit with such a bombshell by the players are answered. It is hoped that the real reasons behind Holmes and Connelly's sudden departure will be answered when a full county board meeting is held next Monday night. Delegates attending the county board meeting are expected to raise a number of important questions and are also likely to ask the letter given by the players to the county board regarding their issues with the former joint managers, and what further demands they want with the appointment of a new manager or managers, to be read out. Until then the Mayo GAA public will not know what the real reasons, and who or what else besides the players, were behind to have to get Connelly and Holmes to resign.

It's over. Move on.

you have 34 players and 24 staff not to mention Pateen and Noel and their buddies like John Maughan , you have a whole lot of people and you can't expect all of them to keep any problems in the camp under wraps.
You can add i n family members and for that matter, all the CB and you could have two hundred at least who are in a position to know what went on and it's inevitable that you would have leaks. I'd say every Mayo lad here has a fair idea of what was going on.
Besides that, what was what was made public so far, it's not hard too see that they players were furious when news of what had happened was leaked to the Connaught Telegraph.
The plan was that Cillian ans Keith were to meet reps from the CB to discuss their problems but when voting details were leaked, all who were available marched into that meeting and that included the ones who had voted for H&C.
They spent ten minutes there and then turned and left en masse. No sign of compromise there whereas they had tried to keep keep the problem secret up until then. Why would they turn on the Board unless they felt that the leak had come from there?

And I hope that what the players put to the board is not made public and anyone with Mayo's best interests at heart should understand this. If that letter is made public the only outcome is that Pat and Noel will be humiliated even more. Players didn't want their issues with the managers to be made known and they could have stepped down without losing face.
Whatever I feel about the way they managed the team, they were brave men to take on the job in the first place. Talk about as poisoned chalice!
The least they deserve is that the players' reservations about them are not aired in public.
Move on is right.

Fair enough Lar, thanks for answering my question above. It confirms what i suspected about how the names were originally leaked.

It might be useful if the real reasons for their appointment in the first place 'will be answered'. 'Until then the Mayo GAA public will not know the real reasons'.

The County Board has played this hand disastrously for over 12 months now. Answers are needed alright, but not the ones they are looking for.

I don't know muppet , sometimes it's just better to move on .

Indeed. This current administration painted themselves into a corner. Management resigning has got them out. If they want to paint themselves into another corner by setting up a witch hunt let them belt away. Would be fun and pass a bit of the winter. The thing about witch-hunts is that those that start the hunt can end up on the bonfire themselves!

Anyone else hear that Michael Solan is the new U-21 manager?...If it's true, John Maughan might put his name forward for the Senior job!!
