Is it just me or is that a very underwhelming management team??

Best name on that list of three and will know the county scene best of luck to McEntee. Hopefully he can entice a few names back to playing for the county and introduce a few new ones.

Replying To sleater:  "It is a no brainer - he shouldn't get the role. No matter who Banty brings is as coach, he is such an alpha figure that he will make the tactical calls, decide on the substitutions and pick the team. And that is where he has fallen down in the past. His boom and bust motivational style can work as a once off but is not sustainable."
Looks like the county board have seen sense and not gone with Banty. I thought John McEntee has done a very good job with Inniskeen. They maximised everything they had and came so close to beating Scotstown last year. Having Darren Hughes on board is a wise move. Want to hear move on who the background team is. It's a clean slate and fresh start.

Thanks to Corey and Bannigan for the very difficult jobs of transitioning Monaghan while keeping us very competitive. Monaghan moved from a ageing squad under Banty's last term to a much younger squad now. It needed to happen. The injury crises of 2026 also provided an opportunity to blood a lot of new players which will stand to Monaghan in years to come.

With McEntee as manager I assume Sean Jones and Ciaran McNulty will be back on the county panel next year.
