Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[WT4E]

Just to be clear, I am not defending the probable inclusion of Mark, I am simply saying it is unsurprising.

Anyone going into that set up would do so knowing that they would have little or no input, by having Mark there he will have someone who will challenge his thinking but not rock the boat. I can't imagine there is a queue of people interested in joining the existing management team, Mickey wouldn't be the easiest worked with.

Peter Canavan – didn't enjoy much success with Fermanagh, perhaps as a team with Cricko?
Chris Lawn – as a duo maybe.
Sean Teague – good club manager, would have liked to see him get a couple of years with Tyrone minors
Damian Cassidy – couldn't stomach this. Good manager, but a diehard Derry man.
Ronan McGuckin – still undecided, has great potential but needs a run with another senior club.

you could rule out canavan cassidy and mcguckin for financial reasons you could say...no coin with tyrone...

Ha Ha! Plenty of coin with Tyrone!!!

I'd say Mickey Harte is on a complete fortune with Tyrone!!!!

mark doing a good job in roslea  its up to mickey who he chooses after all he is the boss

He also did a very good job with Tullylish in Down.

He inherited a team that was county champions, in a weak county FFS, wise up. It's like taking a county title in Derry with Ballinderry at the minute.

Mickey had a chance here to really revitalise his set up, IMO he has made a balls of it.

And that's not meant yo b a reflection on his lad, he could b excellent, but unless we do well the finger of job for the boys will b pointed, folly in the extreme by the two of them

Not goin near another Tyrone match.........

Funny that was my first reaction as well. Hopefully I will stick to it.

[Club Rossa]

Not a great move from Mickey if true.You can only imagine what the reaction will be after a few bad results.

[WT4E]

Its the age old Mickey IMO - He'll do the opposite to what everyone perceives to be the right thing to do. If majority opinion of people was 'he should take Mark in this year' poor Mark wouldn't have a hope of getting in!!!

I think it stems back to one of Mickeys few weaknesses as a manager - "I'm smarter than everyone else" attitude

Can we not wait and see if it is going to work or not ,instead of jumping the gun and making predictions! Some amount of people with egg on their face if Tyrone come out and do well next year! also this is a club thread!!

Maybe it's actually the ideal appointment.

Mickey seems to be set in his ways about a lot of things as he has been in the job that long. You would wonder how much say his assistants had, or if they were willing to speak up about certain things.

Cant see his own son being afraid to pipe up to him. Might actually be just what's needed

So what's the craic with the club championship games this weekend?
Will the winner of dromore v omagh lift the o Neill cup, can pomeroy produce two shocks two weeks in a row? Are rock too strong for junior ? So many questions but it seems like everyone is too interested in the Micky and mark show.
What a weekend of football ahead.

Now that mic key is definitely staying.  I would be fairly happy with mark coming in.  A meticulous man with the right age profile to move the thing forward.  It could have instant positive results and if it's not his level we will know by the end of 2015.  I'd be more worried that no one wanted to  challenge the minor management. The county jobs don't seem to be attracting much interest from prospective replacements. Is there no succession plan if by the end of 2015 big changes are needed.

Omagh v Ardboe final with Omagh winning the Championship.

Just don't put the mortgage on that info about Mark Harte joining the set up boys as you may lose the house! Absolute non-story.
