Armagh manager

[T Fearon]

Near enough this time last year when Joe intimated he was quitting, there was a huge clamour for Paul Grimley to be given the manager's post, and indeed the appointment of Peter Mc Donnell was greeted with surprise and not a little disapproval throughout the county.

Would anyone swap him for big Paul now, I wonder

FFS give it a while !

Seems a gentleman with the weordest syaings ever.

Bigger tests lie ahead than Down or Cavan.

You've just sounded the death bell for Peter's Managerial career there Tony.

McDonnell cut his teeth at Errigal Ciaran - the management holy grail and was always going to be a winner thereafter.

He made his name in his home place of Mullaghbawn you'll find.  Made an average team into worthy Ulster champs.

[rootthemout]

had my doubts about him,but now believe he has breathed new life and attitude into the team.

Was he the last manager to beat Cross in the Armagh Championship?

[winsamsoon]

Sure was

[armaghniac]

Sure was

I didn't think he was that old... 

[balladmaker]

He comes across very well in aftermatch interviews and going by the soundings from the players, they appear to be more than impressed with his ability.  It looks like Armagh have landed a very good footballing brain.

It will be interesting to see what he can get out of this team, an Ulster will do for starters.

I know Peter professionally and personally and I never questioned him either way.  As a Kerry man said to me in London when we won our first senior championship "cream always rises to the top".  Armagh may never win an All Ireland but under Peter but it won't be for the trying

[ziggysego]

He's comes across as a very decent man on the telly. Very pragmatic man and a man who can get 110% from the team.

[Real1995]

Well one thing for sure he wil leave no stone unturned in his prepartion..a shrude drole character 

[T Fearon]

Well he has impressed me anyway and I think Armagh made the right choice in preferring him to Grimley who was part of the old regime which, although had achieved great success, had become stale and was definitely running out of ideas.
