Cian O’Neill gone from Kildare. Probably the right move, fair play to him for biting the bullet. Writing was on the wall after a very mediocre year, he should have driven them on after the momentum generated last year with the Super 8s run and the U20 AI. Falling out with lads from his own club wasn’t a good look either. He did his best and did well in patches, but the team needs fresh voices.
He’ll be angling for a media move. Speaks well and that Newbridge or nowhere interview will stand to him.
Otherwise he wouldn’t be a bad addition to the Cork backroom team in either code. However I doubt his ego would allow him to becoming a cog in the wheel again rather than head honcho.
