Replying To Monaghan_football:  "My top 2 for the Monaghan job would be 1. Paul O'Connor. 2. Oisin Mcconville."
On what basis are you giving POC the job? Would you it aim a bit higher…

Replying To Monaghangaalover:  "Farewell to G.B. Interesting to see who his predecessor might be. David mc cague and John Mac entee would be the prime candidates based on club football in Monaghan.
One everyone is forgetting about is Tony Graham. He has a wealth of knowledge has been involved with many different Monaghan set ups. They've also put together a fine oram outfit. Not sure of his backroom team with oram but maybe bring one of his coaches and add in some more experience?
What's our thoughts?"
Are u serious ye want an Oram man for the monaghan senoir manager role? You would need to tell what colour Oram wears. Players be hearing big toms classics before games and all due respect that wouldn't pump up the players. WE NEED EOIN LENNON FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER AND GET NIALL MC KENNA(CMcManus succesor) INTO THE SQUAD and make him our key foward along with our leader Mick Bannigan

Not sure what Monaghan people think but from the outside it seems a strange move to push out Bannigan. Took over a team at a low ebb, major transition from the old guard, in hind sight great move bringing in Andy Moran, promoted with style from Div 2 in first year, two All Ireland QFs in a row, has had to deal with injuries to key men and blood young lads. And a Monaghan man through and through. Didn't look like major surgery needed at all, get in another shrewd coach like he did with Moran. McConville not an option now anyway.

Is David Mc Cague that good of a manager. When he was with the u20s they were shocking poor. Awful style of football. You could drag a man out of the Pub to manage Scotstown and their still going to win the championship. Whole different story when your playing tough games week on week and not being at the same level as the opponent.
