It'll probably take another while before it's finalized but Kevin Mc Stay might be the best candidate for the job though he might need some help from a good shrink to get the Mayo players heads right after all the nearlys. SLLY (Dublin) - Posts: 463 - 04/09/2014 18:48:38 1648092 Link 0 |

McShtay and McHale partnership is probably the best option for Mayo , not that many noteworthy candidates for it to be honest , ideally Gilvarry should get a stint at U21 role before he graduates to senior management stekhli (Dublin) - Posts: 3121 - 04/09/2014 20:22:42 1648132 Link 0 |
Horan has left a far better platform for success compared to the one that he walked into jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20598 - 04/09/2014 20:26:56 1648136 Link 0 |
Mortimer left because he felt he had a God-given right to start for Mayo, he didn't. Wasn't prepared to work as hard when he didn't have the ball as other forwards. No point in having one man playing for himself while the others will die for the jersey. There's my diplomatic opinion on Conor.

GreenandRed.. You are spot on. Mortimer is good when the team is good but when the team is struggling in a game, you won't see Conor in the thick of the action mayoaresavage (Mayo) - Posts: 313 - 04/09/2014 21:38:54 1648199 Link 0 |
Mortimer is a player that plays with instinct - he's a natural forward jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20598 - 05/09/2014 09:33:25 1648250 Link 0 |
To get back to the point of the thread Noel Connelly is a serious candidate. He is involved in the Mayo Development panels currently and would have managed alot of these l;ads before at u-21 including an AI win at that grade. Work commitments will need to allow for him to commit as lets face it its now a full time job. unclegerry (Mayo) - Posts: 1222 - 05/09/2014 10:44:14 1648292 Link 0 |

jimbodub, You having a laugh?? "Micheal Jackson" Mortimer didn't fit in to the group ethos and was let go. Even if he did start to buy in with the management and team plan, the 30/31 year old (whatever age he is) is not performing at a level that would warrant his inclusion in the squad.

Has David Brady much experience ???? TheRightStuff (Donegal) - Posts: 1688 - 05/09/2014 11:52:52 1648333 Link 0 |
I like Brady, but he comes across as a little clownish on the radio! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8584 - 05/09/2014 12:15:06 1648353 Link 0 |
Pat Holmes would be a big contender. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1103 - 05/09/2014 13:06:03 1648389 Link 0 |
I really respect Mc Stay's views on football,he is usually very fair and spot on with his analysis,though I'm not sure if that's the skill set necessary to be a great manager,though he's obviously done very well at club level.

I think Donie Buckley would be the best man for the Mayo job. He has been there for two years and knows the players well plus he could now put his own systems in place. It was obvious James Horan had a set way he wanted to play the game and Buckley had to facilitate that. He is one of the best coaches in the country and Mayo should not let him go. You only have to look at how he turned Limerick around when the was given a free rein. Mayo are now noted as one of the best tackling teams in the country (Buckley's doing id say as in 2012 All Ireland Final tackling was very poor) and with a slight adjustment to their defence would definitely challenge for an All Ireland next year. Realistically there are only 3-4 teams that can win it. Cowboy (Roscommon) - Posts: 11 - 05/09/2014 15:14:22 1648457 Link 0 |
Cowboy - I think you are correct about Donie Buckley but I am surprised to hear you say that only 3-4 teams can win the All-Ireland next year. Who are those teams?. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 597 - 05/09/2014 15:46:29 1648476 Link 0 |
Mayo, Dublin, Kerry and Cork with an outside shout to Donegal if we could keep our focus after winning this year :-) DLGael (Donegal) - Posts: 111 - 05/09/2014 15:52:32 1648481 Link 0 |
