Jody Gormley to take them back to division 4 and the revolution is complete.
Cheers ONeill, never knew you cared so much

I'm sure John Rafferty wont need help to bring them into Div 4

heard that peter was stepping down,
also heard joe is interested in coming back as is mc alinden but the players are trying to push for paul grimley
geezer has bno interest in the job but dont be surprised to see ir being betweeen th top 3

JMohan · July 21, 2009, 08:05:39 PM

Wow!

This will be a big one
Baker Bradley for the Armagh job! lol!

Joe wouldn't be interested I don't think.
Grimley would be good - but he might not go back if the board snubbed him last time

Rafferty maybe?

tI would like to see big Grimley given a chance, he has a proven track record as a manager and he has the respect of the players, that said I thought he was treated shabbily by the co board the last time he showed interest and I am not sure he would take it if the job was offered to him.

it will be interesting to see who gets the job, I really hope McAlinden does not get it, I still havent forgiven him after changing the team that destroyed down in the Ulster final years ago, he brought Donaldson into the team and that killed us.

reading between the lines from recent grimley interviews he would be back in a heart beat
lets hope whoever takes the reigns can make something of the current team and big Joe can stay out of things

Sorry re -read the interview there - can't see him coming back based on the aforementioned "hurt" they caused him.
Maybe Big Joe will come back for a year as some of the rumours suggest or at least until Geezer is ready to leave Kildare.......

We need a complete fresh start, taking JK back would be a big mistake and I wouldnt be so keen on Grimley, nothing against the men themselves but we need a complete fresh start, wipe the slate clean, and build.

I'd like to see someone from outside the county, no ties to the county, no bias, pick the best 15, including 6 forwards!

ArmaghGAAforum · July 21, 2009, 08:26:06 PM

for me the ideal appointment would be grimley and geezer but its unlikely to happen.

Not often I would say this but I agree with Pints. With no obvious new candidate and outsider may be the best.

Throw in the use of a helicopter and a 5 digit sum and Micko will be up no bother.

It's 6 digit

(On very good authority)

Dinny Breen · July 21, 2009, 09:05:11 PM

Leave Geezer and Grimley alone

Rocky Mc Guigan · July 21, 2009, 09:18:07 PM

The only way McGeeney will appear is if there is a clear out of the current county board
