2026 All Ireland Football Championship

@Cheasty was an utterly elite judge of managers.

I’ve a feeling Conor Laverty could be the coming force. He’s one of the very few out there you’d think might have the ability to improve a team significantly in the way Jim McGuinness and James Horan did with Donegal and Mayo from 2011 on.

@Cheasty

Down under Conor Laverty are on the way up. They’ll win the All-Ireland by 2026.

@Cheasty

I said from the start that Laverty was the man for Down. A Down football team is the strangest beast. They can be utterly awful. They can be deeply average. Then they can explode into world beaters out of nothing. Laverty’s hardest task with this Down team was in achieving critical mass, ie. to get them to some sort of staging point from which they could mount a run out of nowhere. He appears to have this now.
