GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread

He’s on the ticket, he deserved a mention.

But he wont be considered.

Apparently he had an excellent rapport with the team. He’s a muinteor too - the next Cody?

And former AI winner with Athenry.

He is knocking around along time now. I dont know too much about him.

He seems like the kind of fella that the players would visit in hospital if he was sick. So not an option.

Manager when they won the AI?

They’ll probably give it to Kenny and there’ll be a complete implosion that will take years to recover from.

Hardiman is a tough enough cookie - looked soft but never shied from it on the pitch.

Yes.

Fairly well stacked CV so

That’s some collection of roasters there. I’ll be behind the sofa cringing next summer if any of those chaps are being interviewed by Joanne Cantwell.

Donoghue would be smooth enough Fagan if its interview quality you are after. The rest… well…

The Galway hurling cycle, go well for a couple of seasons but fall short, give the manager the heave. Bring in a new fella do badly for a couple of seasons and give him the boot. Then repeat.

It’s similar to the Limerick cycle except we repeat the bad season part more often before the cycle recommences.

Justin Campbell got a nice shirt and tie box set out of Dunnes there.

Thats was all the rage when Mattie was hitting Ringos back in the early 90’s. He’s a traditionalist.

Conor Hayes and Mattie Murphy are shocking omissions

Would a good row provide short-term gains in Galway? Often does wonders down Shannonside.

After reaching the AI they’ll be labelled as one of the top challengers by the media as we roll into next summer. This should set off alarm bells all over the shop.

Add… Brendan ‘the mhaceen’ Lynskey.

Gerry McInerney???

It seemed last week that Donoghue had this in the bag?

Hardiman seems to be coming with strong support and credentials. Surely Mattie Kenny, who served with Cunningham, would be a red rag to the players? Knowing how county boards operate, though, would suggest that he’s a shoe-in…

What support is this Elvis?
