Cult of Harte coming off the tracks

Joe Brolly claims that Tyrone player has told him privately that training is ā€œdepressingā€ http://the42.ie/3322186

Harte is massively outstaying his welcome. Obviously he was a good coach/manager 10 years ago but he needs to take a good look at himself now and step aside because Iā€™d say he needs to be the one to cut the cord.

I was told this 4 years ago by a former squad member.
Its out of pure loyalty of a few older lads and a kinda ā€œits we go out on the pitchā€ approach that hasnā€™t really rocked that boat i would suggest. He got rid of Donnelly to feshen it up but they are not evolving. Nor can they really iā€™d say. They have significant limitations.

Wouldnā€™t think too many more people will be telling him anything privately in a hurry.

Of course they will. Its the passage to the public. Do you not think they know what they are doing?

Brolly got caught out telling fibs about Armagh last year.

5 or 6 years is about the limit of what any coach should stay with a group. Less for vast majority of coaches.

Absolutely. Its extremely selfish and arrigant what Harte has done and its tainted his legacy.

Fair point probably. Harte may have local journos sufficiently cowed to not make them an option, which I guess would be the usual route for this type of thing?

1212

Ya thats it. Its happened twice now. A letter to On-the-ball is surely a red flag

1213

Correct me if Iā€™m wrong but wasnā€™t there a bit of a protest there up in Tyrone the last time his appointment came up for ratification and the county board refused. I may stand corrected but I have a vague memory of it.

Mostly Roisin Jordan playing silly buggers.

1215

Has any hack invoked a Arsene Wenger comparison yet ??

1216

It would be silly to.

Harte won an Ulster Championship last year.

Yes. Players fully expected a change. Clubs really pussed off.

1219

What clubs?

1220

As a geneŕal group i am told. No specifics

And thats pretty much widely reported and excepted at the time from what i remember
