Down New manager

[Down1234]

Lads and ladies
County board really need to put some thought into this one !! Looks like you need an all Ireland medal to get a job at top level a bit of thinking outside the box is required and rebuilding

[Smurfy123]

Candidates
1-Deegan
2-McCartan
3-Poacher
4-Mulholland
5-Tally
6- McGrath

Out of the above Pete has obviously the best cv but has he got what it takes to move on with the modern game?
McCartan has the experience and done well
Tally has done it all and again would be good
Poacher would be the wild card out of the lot but you just can't turn a blind eye to what he has done in Carlow and would bring some buzz back
Mulholland worked wonders with Rostrevor
Deegan has failed in wherever he has been

[downjim]

Worked wonders: they got relegated to intermediate in his first year, please someone list the trophies beside these candidates?

Mickey Walsh
Paddy O Rourke
Sean Ward

[Smurfy123]

Deegan none
McCartan few club championship sigerson
Poacher merit in the teams he has managed
Mulholland 3 division 2 titles intermediate championship ulster final
Pete enough said
Tally all Ireland with Tyrone

List them beside yours

Lads
My man John Kennedy

We need to re build

Under John Kennedy underage teams

1,Niall Mcparland , McCory captain ,down minor captain , down u21 captain , down senior captain

2, Shay Millar down senior

3, Ronan Millar down minor , down u21 captain , down senior

4, Shay Mccartan down minor , pro scoccor player

5, laim Bagnall , ex pro scoccer player , semi pro scoccer player at present and would walk onto the down team

6, matty Bagnall , down minor , down u21

7 , Dennis Murtagh , down minor , down u21

Do I need to say any more lads ask any of the current down players who is the best manager they played under and I would say John Kennedy will be there answer

And the players have played under most of the men methoned at underage level

We need progress thinking outside the box

[Brick Tamlin]

Indeed.
In fact it would seem we need the whole Glenn team by the looks of it.

Pro and semi pro soccer you say.
Tell us another one. Bound to be a few milk cup players about.

[downjim]

Oh FFS  funny thing is that Glenn people think that way, there is a reason they are still changing in a box.

[Down1234]

Changing in a box and still prob the best repersented club in the county 🤭

And Liam prob best outta the 3 playing scoccer with no approach from down laughable 😂😂

[downjim]

Liam plays for Cliftonville, he has not wore a Glenn jersey this year.
Mccartan has not played for Glenn since 16.

Go do some fundraising

[Down1234]

Lmao my point is

All these players have came through John underage and are or  have been playing at a high level

Down need rebuilt and not live off 91 and 94 and one championship win last year

[Smurfy123]

That's why Down are shite picking from to many white teams.Glenn being that too represented teams tells its own story.And I don't normally agree with Jim

This whole thread is most likely a wind up but that being said , of the 3 players in question , one is the captain, one is developing into one of the most consistent players down have and the third was Downs best player in the last game and still only his second season on the panel. Them players are there on merit and deservedly so. Think before you speak Smurfy

[Smurfy123]

Or you could put it like this
One was very poor all year
The other was black carded after not touching the ball against Donegal
And the other was decent against a brutal team like Cavan

I engaged an idiot , my bad

[Smurfy123]

Twice too. You talk some garbage when you do actually post. On the other hand wobbler with out doubt the best poster on the board for knowledge of the game. Got it spot on 3 years ago
