Wasnât he very close to getting it before they finally got Cahill?
There was a train of thought they couldnât appoint another MS man again after Patsy.
Is he the goalkeeping coach?
Yes. Lives in Antrim.

No Iâd say even in 2018 his time had been and gone. He was heavily touted when Derek got the gig in 2014.
Wasnât he the favourite to get it after McGrath stepped away in 2018 but wasnât even interviewed?
Maybe Fagan will n ow better but I canât recall him ever seriously being in the running.
He put himself forward the last time but didnât even get an interview as far as I know.
Correct. I think the view would be that he hasnât the nous for senior inter county management and that he fell in as an underage coach for a group of outstanding young hurlers that he couldnât but win all around with.
Waterford could do with a @Fagan_ODowd type to shake things up. A kind of cultured Ger Loughnane with Powery as a selector.

Iâd be better as Chairman of the County Board to be honest.

Very much agreed. A superb talent.
And seemingly sound, as mentioned.
Pat Ryan completely refuted that illness story. It was a weasel excuse from them to hide the real reason they withdrew the offer
A lovely lad.

Is there anyone from the 00âs team youâd like to see in the job?
Waterford County Board lacking the same explosiveness out of the blocks as the Tipperary County Board in finding a new manager.
Fergal Hartley the most level headed of that crew would he be?
Irial is CEO of Nemeton TV. Fergal runs a recruitment company. OâRegan is a small enough upgrade on the likes of Paddy Joe and Tom Cunningham. Pat Flynn is a bungalow.
On balance not the worst panel we could have come up with.
I spotted a pensive looking Pat Flynn in Ardkeen Stores at lunchtime today. He had the look of a man grappling with weighty matters.
Was he at the deli counter?
Is that the same crew that recruited Cahill. If it is then they didnât do a bad job the last time to be fair about it.
