Cahill
Cummins
W Maher (he will never get it, will he?)
Fanning

Not sure who else is a realistic candidate at moment. I’d reckon Cummins would like another year with u20s.

I’d imagine efforts will be made to get Cahill and Bevans in.

Be careful what ye wish for.

Tipp were very very poor this year, and Bonnar probably wasn’t up to the job. But it’s still harsh, because he should never have been given the job in the first place in those circumstances and certainly not given a three-year term. Now they’re kinda making a show of a decent enough fella.

Probably didn’t have any choice but they still made a balls of the whole situation.

Once the players didn’t want him, the county board had no other choice.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

He was always a stop gap and probably never should have gotten it in the first place. Tipp are 100% right to pull the plug, he got his chance and was simply not up to scratch, regardless of whether he is a nice man or not, keeping him in place would only add additional years to the rebuilding process and from a culture perspective that mediocrity was/is acceptable.

@peddlerscross

He’s a convicted criminal which is a bit of black mark against him.

Surely that would give him credibility with many of the players in the squad?

[Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr]

It’s a completely lost year though. Whoever comes in now will have to start from scratch again.

I agree that he should probably never have been appointed but it’s appalling treatment of a man who has given his all and stood up when others were arguing over terms and conditions.

[ChairmanDan]

It seemed like Colm Bonnar was the last man standing in the selection process last winter and the only candidate they could find from within the county. 8 or 9 months on, they’ll probably have to go down the outside manager route. It’s a sad state of affairs when Tipperary can’t find one of their own ti manager the county senior hurling team

I think Nenagh are a dark horse for Munster this year. Johnny Kelly the missing ingredient

Depends on the severity of Barry Heffernan’s injury the other day I’d imagine.

[neilld]

I’ve never seen a Tipp team with so few nice hurlers as this year’s.

Big call for the new man on the likes of Forde and Bubbles, most talented players but probably least suited to the modern game.

[Special_Olympiakos]

A lad in work is listening to Tipp fm. Said every second text is demanding Davy gets the job.

[dodgy_keeper]

Davy managing Tipp in Ennis next year in the Round Robin. Can you imagine.

Like Figo going back to Camp Nou.

[fenwaypark]

Like Cork and Kilkenny, Tipp will never appoint an outside manager.

[FatChops]

@fenwaypark

They would be if the management team is right. I think a lot if people really underestimate the importance of management/coaching. If Kiely/Kinnerk were with Tipp and Limerick had Bonnar, who would you fancy?

Limerick

[fenwaypark]

Why, because they have better players?

[ChairmanDan]

Will they go with cap in hand again for Liam Cahill? Wouldn’t be a great look after the year he’s had in Waterford and how firmly he rebuffed Tipperary last year.

A few forumites doing a grand job there

The feeling at the time was that Cahill would never get the offer again after the snub. But things have changed on both sides I guess
