Should Brian Cody go?

He should be given the road… The N77 on to the M7 and on into Limerick. We need a hard headed manager who wont stand for shite. We can get Batt to have a chat with PJ to sort out the finances.

I wouldnt have thought Brennan was much use to be honest. Seems to have been shoehorned into positions with no real reason why other than name. I’d say Derek Lyng and James McGarry would be far more rated amongst Kilkenny people than Brennan is. There are a couple of other too in Kilkenny doing good work with club teams and other Kilkenny teams. Might not be the household player names and maybe wont get the crack that they could deserve as a result. IF Cody goes, a big name will need to replace him. Firstly, to appease fans, and secondly, he will have to have some reputation behind him to withstand the flak he will undoubtedly receive taking over from Cody

My Kilkenny sources (a lad I met in Joes chipper in the Village on Saturday night) says Cody won’t go, he’ll have to be pushed and Well Fed Ned won’t push him

I don’t think either of those lads have the personLity for it tbh, no matter how highly regarded.

There seems to be a dislike of Eddie within KK, i am not really aware if the reason for that.

Good club managers are plentiful enough. Completely different job though. Health wise and probably financially too the club game is better for you.

Lads have been saying for years Cody is “weak tactically”, anyone care to give any examples? He fairly shut down the great Cork team’s running game. Just because kk aren’t as good as they used to be doesn’t mean its tactics what bate them.

yup, hence my point on it needing a big name to withstand the flak they will receive. Whoever takes it will be under massive pressure, huge shoes to fill and huge expectation, whether rightly or wrongly too.

It’s in fashion at the moment to say that he’s weak tactically.

The Wexford game a month ago. Their tactics were shockingly poor and given that they had a dry run already against Wexford and the sweeper, they still did not do anything to counteract either their own play or to stifle Wexfords play. I’m not saying he is a bad manager, or bad tactically, just that it is, in my opinion, one of his weaker traits as a manager. Its not the only thing that makes a manager or coach and he has enough of other positives to make him probably the best that ever was.

Agree rating.

Codys tactics are predicated on having unbelievable forwards who’ll win all their own ball. They don’t have them anymore so he’s beginning to look tactically inept. That said he should be given another year if he wants it to try and adjust to the new reality. Imagine KK weren’t firing horrendous ball into their forwards, and added in a couple of decent younger faces like Leahy, would they be far away? Probably not

Bollox. It’s Cody’s blindness to “tactics” that the kk forwards aren’t getting great ball? They haven’t the players they had. Simple as.

Well done on repeating the point I made while simultaneously trying to disagree with me. Impressive stuff

You implied cosy can’t adapt tactically, that he is playing “tactics” unsuited to his players, and that it is some sort of failing. You’re talking shite.

Thread title is laughable.

Cody is going nowhere.
