Canavan did a good job in Fermanagh. He stabilised them and they're amongst the best sides in division three.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Think that myself and would be a great link man between U21s and senior management.

Canavan jumped before he was pushed.  I heard yesterday that he was being given further time but that there would be a considerable reduction in his 'expenses.'  Canavan didn't like this and decided to go.  He didn't think much for Fermanagh when he described them in IR yesterday as always being a short term project. Just in it for the money methinks and by all accounts he got plenty of that.  I really dont believe he brings anything other than a big ego and a big reputation, as a player, to any team.  He has alot to learn.  I watched him sitting in the stand in the All Ireland Vocational Schools final when his team was crying out for his presence along the line and he's sitting like the big I AM in the stand.  He came down for the last 10 minutes but it was all over.  To me he comes across as an arrogant wee toss, as a player he had few equals but as a manager he is extremely average.

Any chance he might end up in Kildare?  Probably one of the few counties who can afford him.

No, just my opinion on what I see and hear about him.

I heard the players had a lot of time for him and the level of professionalism he brought that had never been seen in Fermanagh before.

I have no doubt that he would be professional but he is a results driven game and apart from promotion from 4-3, he didn't achieve much and his team going 26 minutes v Cavan without scoring doesn't say much for the way he set up the team.  While the players had alot of time for him, I believe he wasn't a hands on manager on the pitch.  He'll be remembered for uniting Fermanagh but not for much more.

Getting the team to a high level professionalism was surely a priority given the money he was getting.

Gaelic life are saying that Gearoid Adams is interested.
What has he done to warrant a mention?
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

You haven't heard of the success he has had at club level in Antrim?

He got St. Johns a brand new black jersey, breaking from their traditional blue & white. He also instigated the delivery of brand new half-zip training tops for members of their squad.

He has done a fantastic job with the Whiterock men and would be a great catch for any county whose gear is looking a bit shabby.

Fermanagh won't have enough money for new gear, so Adams won't be considered.

What were Canavan's managerial credentials prior to taking the Fermanagh job? A PE teacher coaching a school football team and his club.
Adams'? A PE teacher coaching a school football team and his club?

Is the above correct?

It looks like Old Trafford on a Champions League night in that pic.

Looks like things are about to go nuclear in Fermanagh.

Further turmoil for Fermanagh GAA as funding group 'reassesses' support
Club Éirne alleges they are victims of 'campaign of vilification and criticism'
Only weeks after losing team manager Peter Canavan, Fermanagh GAA has been plunged into further crisis as funding group Club Eirne has said that it will be reassessing its role following what they allege is a "campaign of vilification and criticism against it".

Crucially, the group which was formed eight years ago and raised annually either side of £100,000 has not said directly that it will be ceasing to exist but it will be reassessing their support of the county board.
Crucially though they also say that they will be leaving "the field open to our critics to replace that generosity".
Moreover, the statement makes it quite clear that this campaign against the group has come from on high, alleging that two members of the current county executive and former members of that executive have been involved in the campaign of criticism that has left them with no option but to withdraw their support.

Great stuff all together.  Both Club Eirne and the county board behaving like a crowd of children.  Blame on both sides and the only loser in all this will be Fermanagh football. 
The same crap happened 2 years ago. Cannot believe this is where we are at.
Too many egos, not enough long term planning.
It's just a pity that they cannot work together for the good of Fermanagh GAA.
