GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread

Well that’s pretty vague and open to interpretation. It sounds like the club doesn’t have good accountability for the way their funds are being spent, I don’t see anything untoward about raising the issue.

The club member is right to question the payments but the Manager and club Chairman should have told the club member that this was all agreed at the start of the year. Surely the Chairman or whoever agreed to the payments had to get the committee that run the club to sign off on the payments?

Ex Tipp manager Liam Sheedy is to chair committee to find new Offaly Hurling manager. Rory Hanniffy & Joe Brady also involved

They should just appoint Ryan.

Seems as though there are a good few interested in the job.

Don’t know why, they are at a low ebb and with a relatively low enough ceiling you would think.

And not much money either. Still perhaps they feel the only way is up.

I can see for the likes of Quaid why that would be an option alright.

Kelly strikes me as a decent operator and would do a solid job there but they can only go so far really

Not necessarily. I’d say this year’s Offaly team would be better than the one in 5 years when Dooley, Bergin, Currams, Carroll and a few others are gone. Hopefully I’m wrong

It is with regret that I wish to withdraw my name from the Nomination of upcoming position of Roscommon Senior Football Manager for 2016. I agreed to a 2 year term initially, followed by a 1 year continuation. However, I do not wish to have my name put forward for a further year and I want to thank the executive committee for their vote of confidence in me.

I wish to thank the Chairman Michael Fahey for his foresight and expertise, and all his officers for their untiring dedication, support, professionalism, and in particular County Secretary Brian Carroll, County Treasurer Joe Gilligan and County PRO Colm Beirne, who have worked so closely with the team management .

To the team Selectors Gay Sheerin, Walty Burke, Basil Mannion, no better and true Roscommon men will you find anywhere - Real Rossies, who by their energy, commitment and enthusiasm have raised the bar so high - both on and off the field. To the specialised coaches and Medical staff of Keith, Liam, Niall, James, Aaron, Enda, Joe, Jamie, Gary, Ollie, Seamus, Paul, Nuala and especially Tommy Gilligan, who has been a tireless worker/Kitman for the team, and also the expertise of Dr. Harrison and Dr. Daly and all who have helped us over the past three years.

Finally, to the wonderfully dedicated players who dared to go where others thought they should not tread, who have risen up and brought Roscommon galloping up from Division 3 straight through Division 2 and up to the top of the pile into Division 1 - all I can say I am immensely proud of you all - to a man, and I hope you stay focused on your bright futures ahead. Three trophies in 3 years, not bad for a start! I look forward to seeing you mix it with the best as “eventually” Roscommon will be the best.

Slán go Fóill,

John Evans

Evans back to Tipp?

McStay nailed on for Roscommon I’d say.

Laois I believe

Tipp should try and get Jack O’Connor. They’ll probably end up with Tommy Carr.

Bumping for JBM.

Just a question of when it is announced.

McStay must go to Roscommon to get him off the TV coverage.

Mulcahy?

Pretty thin CV, no?

Was told it was unlikely to be him.

If Kingston is available I think he might get it

Supposed to be some decent minors coming through

The oul lad is confident re Sunday which is unlike him.

Hope you are right. The guys working hard in the background to get the job are frightening. There is unbelievable canvassing going on, some of it publicly

Only good thing about it would be if Clear got the football the 2 lads would be back there.

Jim McCorry gone from Down
