Maybe some of the older Tipp heads may recall but didnât Tipp consider an outside man back when they were struggling in the late 70s/early 80s and it led to uproar.

This canât be true. Itâs a red herring.
How anyone would chose Waterford over Tipperary is mad. Especially one of their own???
It will never come to pass. Someone is taking the piss.
It would be like John Kiely announcing in the morning he was taking the Kerry camogie job.
I donât think the step down of going from Waterford to Tipperary is that big a gulf. But I get your point.

No wonder the county board got pissed off at the bouncing cheques.
Or maybe he got sick of being called Richard.
Was Donoghue part of Eamon OâSheaâs set-up when he was Tipp manager? He had some involvement there previously afaik
Iâd say heâd settle for getting his petrol paid.
Bizarre appointment if true. Tipp need someone who knows the county intimately now of all times.
He was involved yes with OâShea from 2013-2015.
It would be more palatable if OâShea/Egan/Kelly/whoever was named âManagerâ even if Donoghue was running the show similar to a Rochford/Bonner situation in Donegal.
Cahill is making demands of the Co Board which theyâre uncomfortable with it the issue.
He has them over a barrel.

Iâd imagine it comes down to whether Cahill feels he has the tools there to win an All Ireland in the next 2 to 3 years. If you take on the Tipperary job and donât deliver an All Ireland, the bottom line is youâre seen as a failure.
A modern day history of Tipperary managers floundering after taking over from All Ireland winning managers. After Babs stepped down in 1994, you had Father Fogarty and Len Gaynor. After Nicky English, you had Ken Hogan, Michael Doyle and Babs again. After Liam Sheedy stepped down in 2010, you had Declan Ryan.
With the minors of 2006/07 all about to bow out now en masse and Limerick so dominant and seemingly only still limbering up, could be a few wilderness years in store for Tipperary. Cahill would hardly want to preside over that.
Thereâs no way Tipp go outside Tipp - Not the Premier county, no way.
Cahill sees the role as a 10 year job.

Itâs going to take 10 years for Tipperary to win another one? I suppose the important thing is to at least chalk one up by 2029.

What did he say now?
Letâs see how uncomfortable they get when the supporters react to Cahill not getting the position. If I was the Secretary/ Chairman Iâd be bending over backwards to accommodate him.
A Mattie is charge of Tipp would be most amusing.
Although if he was to actually do well there how bad would it make the Galway county board look for basically chasing him off after winning an AI.
That said Cahill will probably still get it in the end.
