Did a great job with the Dubs and pastures new await. Galway probably the next stop.

Good luck to him if he does take on Galway. Galway tends to be your last inter-county job. Can't think of any of our managers in the last 25 years who've gone on to manage another county team. Even outside managers like Loughnane and McIntyre. And they had better players to work with than we do now. Still hope he takes it though, cos he's a good manager.

Who'll get the 'lucrative' Dublin job? Will Nicky English or Liam Sheedy consider it? I know Nicky is Dublin based, but isn't Sheedy also?

Winning the league and Leinster after 50+ year breaks was very impressive. Maybe a bit unlucky with timing of the Kilkenny fade out. Hopefully it starts soon. He leaves the dubs  in a decent state.

Daly definitely brought Dublin onto the next level. He looked to be a great motivator. On days his teams were focused and fired up they were a match for anyone.

However there were a few setbacks and dud performances along the way, where Dublin were tactically and technically awful. The challenge for the next man is to get them more consistent.

There were rumours a few weeks ago that Pat McDonagh was willing to *ahem* bankroll him if he left the Dublin job to take over in Galway. Whether it happens or not who knows?

Hard to know how attractive the Galway job is. In fairness they were unlucky this year to come up against the two All-Ireland finalists so early. Kilkenny first followed by Tipp in Thurles straight after. An unforgiving set of fixtures.

I think there is probably enough in Galway that Daly would have something to work with anyway.

He could introduce varying tactics and how to close out the last 5 minutes. The next few years probably won't have a dominant team either. So he could be tempted.

This is the same Daly that couldn't get Dublin to close out a comfortable lead against Antrim a few years back.

Galway secretary Pat Kearney has ruled out the prospect of Anthony Daly being parachuted in as senior hurling manager.

The former Clare All-Ireland winning captain, who stood down as Dublin boss earlier in the week, has been linked with the role along with the outgoing Anthony Cunningham, Brendan Lynskey, Johnny Kelly and Mattie Kenny.

But, speaking to the Irish Daily Star, Kearney insisted: "It will be a Galwayman.

"It's unlikely it will be anyone from outside the county.

"We will do interviews in the next 10 days."

Cyril Farrell wrote a good article on Saturday about the shoddy treatment of Cunningham by the county board and the general mess they're making of hurling in the county. I'm surprised Cunningham still wants the job and he must see something in his players that most of us don't.

I understand there have been no senior club championship games played all summer in Galway even though we were one of the first teams out. Kilkenny play club games through the summer and it hasn't done them any harm. And still no sign of us moving into Leinster at underage even though most Galway fans think it's the way to go.

He could do the Antrim job, while Ryan has done well enough he's had 3 years now and we are still at that level behind the top 10
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Same manager who won a Leinster championship for a county that hadn't won it for 50 years. Also won a league title that hadn't been won for a half a century.

TO date that's more then your current manager has won.
