Is he the type to walk away or will it be a damaging Gerald & Justin McCarthy type stand off?
The vote was almost unanimous so he’ll walk quietly enough i imagine, but saying that he knew about the vote before ratification so anything could happen.
There was a vote in May according to Denis Walsh in ST
There were also grumblings after the league. They’d a tame league quarter final exit away to Waterford and I recall @KinvarasPassion posting about some tough talking going on behind the scenes between players and management in the aftermath.

When you look at the success a man from another code Michael Dempsey has enjoyed with Brian Cody, maybe Galway should be looking at that sort of template. Brendan Rodgers hurled a bit seemingly in his younger days with Carnlough. All else has failed for the last 27 years. Maybe Brendan could be the Messiah.
Galway are some joke. Meanwhile we are all united behind Teege.

They’re some cunts above in Galway alright
a fucking shambles.
Only last week I lashed 5k on tmh for next years all Ireland. Sure after their performance this year they were certainties for it in 2016.
Coming from a limerick man. FFS
Galway are the real deal
Ah lovely.
Fine line between a dictatorship and management. May as well leave Liam McArthy on the banks of the Nore for another year
It will take Tipp a year to bed down. Wexford just dont have it. Clare? No.
Cork? No
Limerick? I can feel a row brewing so no.
Cody must be laughing his bollix off
I got the impression that morale had improved since that league defeat then but the fact remains that there were plenty of scars left hanging around since the 2013 fallout when Kenny/Helebert departed.
The alleged sad truth… the main reason AC is there is that he is cheap and that the reason the county board ratified him despite the players protests. Heads should roll in the county board over this fiasco also. They went over their players heads.

Cloonan seemed to be running the show this year on match days. Would he be acceptable to the players to step up as manager (if he was so inclined) or would he be tainted by being linked to the current regime?
Hopefully Cunningham will have the good sense to step down and not cause civil war to massage his own ego unlike that mercenary prick Justin.
Fact remains though… They had a 3 point head start and 35 minutes to beat KK and failed miserably. They need a good look at themselves in all of this.

Some of them do anyway, especially the more senior players who showed no leadership when it was needed. 3 point lead is nothing, they could have been 8 up and still wouldn’t have won the way they played in the second half. This whole thing has a smell of Cork 2008 about it which is quite depressing. Players need to show leadership on the field not leading coups against management, but human nature being what it is, it’s always someone else’s fault.

Well it seems they had no respect for Cunninghams opinion so they were effectively managing themselves in that second half.
Collins did have a good second half… But Smith, Canning, Tannian, Donnellan are the elder statesmen and they fell along way short.

There just seems to be something deeper going on. I cant put my finger on it but suffice to say whatever did or didnt happen in the dressing room at half time didnt have the required effect.
