Eh passing interest, you put the All Ireland ahead of winning club championship there? You want to edit?

Afraid not Corn.......not to diminish the joy at winning County Finals, but 2002 still tops the lot for me.

I think the debate which inevitably follows a retirement either as a manager or a player is clouded by recent achievements- to say someone was in the top 5 managers or the in the best 15 players ever is largely irrelevant - these things really can't be judged too well - suffice to say that Joe by virtue of the All Ireland win was the most successful manager ever !

Again, like the vast majority of the Armagh posters, I would like to thank Joe for all that he has done for Armagh football. No other Armagh manager ever got close to winning an All-Ireland, Joe won four, that says it all!

As regards him managing another county I just can't see it. He is obviously a big family man and I just can't see him leading another county out against Armagh with any of his sons playing in the orange jersey.

Very strong rumours that Art McCrory is being touted as the new Armagh manager:

orangeman · July 23, 2007, 09:11:43 PM

I definitely could not see Armagh signing up Art or indeed Art going to Armagh - won't happen !

O'Neill, please never suggest that even in a joke!

The 2 raffertys (John and Peter) have benn already spoken to by the county board

stephenite · July 24, 2007, 08:00:14 AM

Any truth to the rumour that Paidi is being lined up??

thebandit · July 24, 2007, 08:20:56 AM

Absolutely none

If this is true, then I am very disappointed as I was led to believe that nominations would be sought from clubs within the county.

AFAIK, Peter Rafferty had already indicated he wouldnt be putting himself forward for the job

orangeman · July 24, 2007, 03:38:30 PM

Have heard lately that Peter isn't the slightest bit interested at the minute anyway.

balladmaker · July 24, 2007, 09:05:18 PM

Tell me this.....why is John Rafferty even being considered as the next Armagh manager? What is his track record apart from St. Gall's glorious 'failure' in the Club Final a couple of years ago?
