Whatever happneed to the RISE movement he spearheaded?
Cahill to resign before April is my prediction and Derek to be brought back in on the cusp of championship
Shefflin?
I am going on record on the INTERNET and calling this a bad move for Cahill

Agreed. He has little to gain from staying on with Tipp u20s but heâd be better off managing someone at club level Iâd say and waiting it out
Explain
Iâm not sure he can do anything in Waterford to enhance his reputation. Like @the_man_himself, I think he would be better served waiting it before assuming his position as natural successor to Liam Sheedy.
Waterford appears to have deep issues at the moment and, on the evidence of the past few years, are well off the pace. Iâm not sure Cahill can do much with them at present.
However, I put it out there on the INTERNET so that if Iâm wrong I can be called on it at a later date
He wonât put up with any egos anyway, thatâs for sure.
Best of luck to him in the role. Hope he does well, but not too well.

Heâll look impressive wearing a cloak on the sideline

I think thereâs very little between the top 5/6 sides and Cahill will weed out any egos quite early. I think players know they are in the last chance saloon also and this would have been a âplayer ratifiedâ appointment I suspect, no excuses for them anymore
This is a good appointment for Waterford. Cahill is a very astute guy and is in a no-lose situation, in effect, given Waterfordâs abysmal championship performances over the last 2 years.
Off the top of my head, I believe their opening Munster Championship fixture will be against his native Tipperary in Walsh Park.

Full circle for Cahill. Think he made his Championship debut as an 18 year old against Waterford at Walsh Park in 1996. Waterford also had an 18 year old Championship debutant in their ranks that day.
Ken was still a minor though ?
Correct.
Seems the type of no nonsense character Waterford need at the moment. Being an outsider is an added bonus, no ties to anyone within the county - good or bad. Goes in with a clean slate and can call it as he sees it.
They still have enough good players to have a shot of getting out of Munster next year.
Theyâve been a shambles in 2018 and 2019 so the only way is up.

Itâs the best appointment Waterford could have had really
How do you broach the past couple of years when going in as a new manager? Do you tear strips off them and tell them a few home truths? Do you plaumause them and tell them forget about the past itâs a clean slate etc?
