He is still young enough and is only in his late thirties. He is blues through and through so he won't be leaving Newfoundwell Road anytime soon. Then we have Jim Farrell who is the manager of the Jocks. This is his third season in charge. In his first season he just kept the Monasterboice men up when they defeated their neighbours Mattock in a relegation play-off. They are just 60 mins away from their first ever senior final. Then we have Malachy O Rouke who is in his second season with the Gaels. The Gaels have not won the senior championship since 1952. This is the second year in a row that O Rouke has guided the Gaels to the semi-finals. They are looking to reach their first final since 1992.

County board meeting Wednesday evening where a new manager will be nominated for appointment. louthman57 (Louth) - Posts: 324 - 26/09/2017 22:24:23 2050842 Link
Replying To louthman57: "County board meeting Wednesday evening where a new manager will be nominated for appointment." If it is Mc Grath they should make sure there is a good succession plan so when he steps away there is continuity, This destroys a team when everyone walks away and lads come in for a year and then dont try to take opportunity. pretender (Meath) - Posts: 358 - 27/09/2017 13:43:04 2051011 Link
Hope not McGrath, He was given a new one year deal in Fermanagh and the players ousted him. It would be just another county taking a manager in that's on the Manager merry go round.....Not a good sign He is old school and not great style for a very young squad. Apart from Shane Lennon and PK what would the rest of the selection know about picking a good manager. Would be disappointing is Shane and Paddy were part of a selection committee that came up with Peter McGrath Lets hope its someone new and fresh ideas sharpey (Louth) - Posts: 193 - 27/09/2017 14:14:21 2051023 Link

Why now? Nobody else interested? In that case, Paddy and Shane should have volunteered for the job themselves! in_a_bind (USA) - Posts: 62 - 27/09/2017 15:17:23 2051059 Link

Agree 100%...They would be way better than McGrath and the players would play for them and be able to communicate better. All Pete McGrath will do is hold us up for another 2 or 3 years...there is better club Managers in the County sharpey (Louth) - Posts: 193 - 27/09/2017 16:35:19 2051079 Link

He won two all-Ireland's lets not forget however it was a helluva long time ago That said he brought Fermanagh to a Qfinal and div 2 of the league were they stayed up the first year. 2017 was an impossible job they lost a huge amount of players. I think he'll do ok, we'll stay up in div 2 and get a decent championship win or 2.. that's the height of our expectations to be fair pundit2 (Louth) - Posts: 597 - 27/09/2017 20:25:58 2051148 Link
