Your 100% there. Im a massive hurling fan, but I unfollowed him due to his Celtic, IRA etc. stance. I'm actually fairly big Celtic supporter and I actually took offence at the Celtic, IRA stance as the club and majority of fans have moved away from this viewpoint.

I think they should cover some of his costs. Free match tickets to intercounty and provincial club matches. And sponsor him to attend events like inter county club players get. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 26/10/2017 07:05:02 2058049 Link 0 |
Paperboy Let me ask you this. How much is your club paying your current or previous manager/trainer a year? our your neighbouring team? The money ship in the GAA has sailed. Its all well and good stating things about money and payment when our own clubs are paying outside and inside managers a clean fortune and we are turning our heads to it. Your right about Buff, he mightn't want the money. also a lot of his videos are cooking and messing about etc, nothing to do with the GAA.

My club pay the current management team nothing. Their "expenses" are covered by a few local businesses.

That's even worse!!!! So a few rich people pay your manager while other smaller clubs suffer. "Expenses" your having a laugh. I hate this "oh the GAA was founded on volunteerism". Lots of people years ago were on the take just as much as they are Now. It's a racket, pure and simple. Mercenaries who go from club to club for their brown envelope. We really need to stop burying our heads in the sand. And don't for one minute think I'm been hypocritical, my club are at it. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 26/10/2017 16:02:46 2058240 Link 0 |
Watched this lad's snapchat yesterday - he spent 20 seconds talking about a Clare hurler retiring and then several minutes talking about how terrible it is to have hundreds of people wanting to talk to you on night's out. Morty (Westmeath) - Posts: 209 - 26/10/2017 20:05:36 2058349 Link 1 |
I don't see how external businesses funding a club manager makes small clubs suffer. Many small clubs are able to fund a manager exactly the same way. "Mercenaries" cashing in now on payments from clubs doesn't make it right, nor should we abandon some of the most fundamental GAA principles.

This has moved from the original thread about paying Buff. We can agree that too many are on the managerial gravy train and there isn't much we can do to arrest it.
