Ciaran Mac , we are back.
Yet another indication that this all seems a bit of a circus this time round
So a former county Star who has been involved with development squads the last while makes the step up to senior set up and it's a circus.
Development squads? That's the best of his credentials? Would there not be others ever so slightly more deserving? From what I've heard from Mayo fans over the years there's plenty of other reasons also why you wouldn't have him around
In 2010/11 Horan was a unflashy former player who sought to make a county that was so oft' a running joke into a professional well run outfit. He achieved that without fuss. This time around has had a sideshow about it from the moment Rochford was dumped on in that CB meeting and how he was treated thereafter.
Horan, now with a media profile (one that he cares about so much that he left midway during a major championship match of the hurling side he so publicly worked with), decided for some theatrics regarding his interest for the job, declaring his intention not to put his name forward on national radio and TV. This allowed for the "please james" outswell he knew would come to massage his ego once the CB and fan first choice JMCG would obviously say no. Waits until the very last moment to declare to draw out the drama. Did he get his victim in the CB in the end?
Solan, who looked a fine candidate, pulls out, clearly annoyed with the process that saw people turning up to the wrong house in search of him. Will he be lost to Mayo in the future? One final hoopla for the media after months of fun with the huge name selctor on the ticket.
