Does Mick have some Walter Mitty like fantasy that he is Italian ??? . Is nembo Mick Wallace ???
Losing Premier League status and Shane Keegan are huge blows to the Wexford Youths project.
He was clearly a very good manager and he also cast the net outside Wexford for players. We have chaps from Carlow IT and the defence forces playing with us, for example.
Squad turnover is likely to be significant now. They’ve already lost a clutch of players to New Zealand. I can see some players preferring to play in the local leagues and premier clubs will be looking at the likes of Lee Grace. There’s also the fact that junior and schoolboy clubs in the county by and large don’t have a positive relationship with the club and this has a negative impact on support / attendances.
They need to get some compensation from Galway for Keegan, add it to the €28k received from Burton Albion for Ryan Delaney less the €500 per week x 6 weeks for Lee Chin and see what can be done with it.
Is Wallace seen as a good local soccer man by junior clubs ?? He did huge work with the league representative teams at youth level in the noughties but did the “youths” projects create a fission. ???
He’s very well respected and did indeed have lots of success managing the Wexford League underage teams. However, Wexford Youths now have underage teams up through the age grades and compete in the local league. The schoolboy and junior clubs seem to resent them “taking” their players as opposed to it being an accepted and recognised pathway for players to ultimately get to the LOI via the Youths first team. I’m not close enough to it to know the exact ins and outs.
that seems to be happening across the baord
Delusion is high with Mick.
The Wexford Youths club is now ten years old, not many of the experts back then thought we’d still be around ten years later - Well, get used to it, we’re here for the long term, and remain determined to show that our social, community project will remain a sustainable one. Forza Youths…
He fails to mention that the club wouldn’t exist if it didn’t receive a large sum of money from a generous benefactor a few years ago to keep it afloat when all his finances had gone tits up.

Why should he?
As if it wasn’t for it, his social, community project would be long dead
He’s issuing a rallying cry after relegation, mate.
I know he is, mate
Really? It didn’t seem like it, mate.

His emotions are running high, mate. I know where he’s coming from but he’s making it sound like the community are completely invested in his project, mate. And the reality is that they’re not, mate. Mate.
Fuck off with the fault finding gonzo
You’re a very odd, nitpicking character at times, mate.
It’s clearly a social and community project - they’ve boys’, girls’, mens’ and womens’ teams. Granted there’s some friction between the local junior teams and Wexford Youths and he never said the community were “completely invested in it”, as you put it.
The chances are that generous benefactors, if there’s enough of them locally, were / will be drawn to this sporting, social and community aspect. Benefactors, if they want to go public, get mentioned/thanked in the programme for every home game. I don’t think he’s being evasive or anything by not mentioning his own finances or benefactors in this specific rallying cry / statement.
What’s wrong with a community club having a benefactor?
In fairness to Mac they’re not really used to wealthy owners in his beloved horse racing: everything there is funded by the grassroots.
