In fairness to Davy he has won every major honour in the game as a coach , Munster, Leinster, All-Ireland, league and Fitzgibbon. It’s a pity he never managed to push on and win an All-Ireland club as manager of the Bridge.

Was it on here I heard he went in as goalkeeping coach and once in he appointed himself a selector. Big fella and likely as thick as he’s big so hard to say no.
Yeah he probably got the Bridge a few years too late.
Absolutely. Clare have won 5 senior all irelands in their history. Davy played in 2 of them and managed 1.

They’ve actually only won four hurling All-Ireland’s.
Davy won them three of those. He’s the last Clare gaffer to win championship silverware. Unless Lohan delivers Liam in the next month then Davy looks the obvious choice to slip back in.
He could be the unifying figure they need, he lives and breathes Clare hurling.
I dunno, doubt it would have made any difference when he had the gig - he took over a fairly well oiled machine with all of the key men in their prime. Problem was that they were a team of solid physical hurlers but lacked real quality which was apparent when they got out of Clare. Cratloe and Ballyea had the star power but the bridge had more depth.

You forgot Jeff…
Application in the bin I’d say after his recent interviews.
Fuck Henry. Fuck Davy. Fuck Jeff.
There has to be a role for Damien Hayes in the new regieme.
Absolutely. The seethe when Bellew was talking about him on the maroon and white pod was palpable

Does he actually want to go against Limerick at IC level though?
Feargal Healy will get promoted again.
Sure Limerick will be in decline.
They won’t have gone away altogether
Does anyone?

Jesus, James Skehill was on one on the OTB hurling pod, he was like a fella sitting at the end of the bar after 10 pints.
-He would rather eat cow shit than go in with Davy.
-Davy’s contacts approach county boards asking about positions.
-Davy comes in with Powerpoints about how much his package costs.
-Davy is a full time professional coach/manager.
-Galway need to appoint in housee.
-Potentially a Tipp super management of Sheedy/O’Shea/Gleeson could take over.
This is from a current Galway u20 selector/coach.
There’s something in the water around South/East Galway between Skehill, Jeff Lynskey and Aidan Harte all have varying cuts.
Great to see some honest punditry.This is only 29 minutes in.
