Who will the new Dublin Manager be so?

[his holiness nb]

Vincents have some power.

nail on head. I'd definately have taken Deegan. But if this does go ahead all us Dubs can do is accept it and throw our support behind the manager, no matter who he is.

I don't think that comparisons with Stan / Ol(oops)Bobby are fair at all.  To me this is clearly a new approach where Whelan is the head coach and somebody else manages and co-ordinates the whole set up.  The reality is that running a county team set up these days is much more like running a business than it is about football which is why a lot of good football people get washed away or fall foul of the CB and / or related politics. I say that with experience of both and I see merit in this approach.  I have also met and conversed with Whealan on a number of occasions in the past and he always struck me as somone that has a huge heart for the ball game, and no little ability in coaching in that regard - but neither the appetite or capability for the biiger circus that goes around it.  I honestly don't know if they are up to it but I think it is a very interesting and possibly revolutionary move.

Gilroy same experience as Staunton in managing

[INDIANA]

on that basis whelan should be in charge paddy, because i cannot see whelan taking orders from anybody and lets face it i know more about them than anybody else here. I can't understand why they didn't simply nominate whelan and put him forward to see what the clubs thought. would have saved all the hassle, as being a club member i'd behind them , but i can see where other fans are coming from and its once again been extraordinarily badly handled by the incompetents that are the DCB.

[liihb]

anybody know anything about the other 2 lads, Paddy O'Donoghue and Paul Nugent?

[Gnevin]

Who are these lads?

You're going to have to remove that, I believe we've copyrighted any sentence including the words incompetence and DCB, in Derry.

Paul Nugent is from Thomas Davis' and Paddy O'Donoghue is from Kilmacud Crokes apparently.

Apparently but have never heard of them managing even minor county team.

[Doire abú]

Has Pat Gilroy any managerial experience? Seems a strange appointment from the outside.

[Jinxy]

Sure you have to start somewhere.

Nigger Nugent was a feature of Dublin panels around 93/94 IIRC, never a stalwart - he won Division 1 as manager with Davis last year..

O'Donoghue won an AI with Crokes in '95 and is heavily involved in the Crokes juvenile section

[orangeman]

This appointment may not be as audacious as it seems - there is a lot of experience in this set up even if Pat himself hasn't much by way of managing teams -


It's a great name for a manager all the same isn't it ? Pat Gilroy !! There's a nice ring to it.

Only in Ireland 

[his holiness nb]

with all the experienced managers in the set up, you would really have to wonder why none of them are no1.

Maybe they have more cop on, after all, if things go tits up, its Pat that will be the fall guy.
