I reckon it will be today as well. A sports journalist from one of the local papers said it will be announced today.
Then you'll have JohnO exclusive in the Weshtern tomorrow  :)

Yes, Tourmakeady won their Connacht Championship match. I'm not sure of the score though. I couldn't find any report of it either, just heard that they won. Was it the Connacht final? I thought it was a semi-final.

I agree with Mayo4Sam - I don't think JOM has any ulterior motives for the delay.
He should be given the time to make his decision. Remember that Kerry are still awaiting their new manager as well, but there aren't pages of discussion on that. We really need to give JOM and the co board space to get the deal done.
There seems to be huge pressure on JOM already - and he hasn't even said yes/no yet.

While it's disappointing and frustrating to hear that it will be at least a week before JOM makes a decision, I think it will turn out to be worth it.
If JOM had no intention of taking this job, I'm sure he wouldn't be dragging it out like this; he would only be damaging his reputation further.
In my opinion, he is being very cautious for good reasons. He has been burnt by our co board before and has seen how they treated M&M this year. I'd imagine he is laying down his conditions in great detail to ensure the co board can't change tack and start bitching halfway through the year.
He knows the co board want him, and are under pressure from the Mayo public to get him; so this is the perfect opportunity to get his managerial setup exactly as he wants it.
If he gets what he wants, the wait will have been well worthwhile - be patient!  :)
