Sean Cavanagh appears to think it is time for a new manager with a new approach. lambofgod (Mayo) - Posts: 116 - 12/08/2019 09:12:09 2224445 Link 0 |
I think he should but will be surprised if he does. I would say he would want to go out with at least an Ulster so would expect him to see out his contract. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 12/08/2019 09:34:41 2224457 Link 0 |

Mickey should have went years ago. He won't go at all. He went back to his defensive system play during the year to guarantee that he would get to an all ireland semi final and secure his seat again. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 377 - 12/08/2019 09:48:30 2224466 Link 0 |

From talking to a few of my Tyrone friends, there seems to be a perception that Mickey favours certain clubs and their players and that there are a number of players who should be making the team / squad who are being overlooked. If this is a fair statement, then I don't see how his position is tenable as his remit is to gather the best squad available to him to put on the filed of play. It may not be the case and could be a false perception from east Tyrone but I would find it a concern if this is happening. Kurt_Angle (Dublin) - Posts: 567 - 12/08/2019 10:35:42 2224510 Link 0 |
I can understand the argument that other Tyrone coaches should have an opportunity to manage their county. However as a non Tyrone supporter I wouldn't mind him stepping down. He is the single reason why Tyrone are competitive, I predict very hard years ahead for the county when he steps aside. Average players and average manager don't mix well, ask Meath posters about the years spent outside Div 1. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 12/08/2019 10:45:59 2224518 Link 0 |
Granted....but he remains as far away from winning sam in the future as ever. Fresh perspective is no harm. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 12/08/2019 10:46:45 2224520 Link 1 |
The man owes Tyrone nothing but it might be hard for him to see the wood for trees ......the fact is gaa has been a huge comfortand distraction for him on a personal level with the amazing grief he has had to endure .his a gael to the bones Hitnhurl (Cork) - Posts: 92 - 12/08/2019 10:54:35 2224524 Link 1 |
Every time Tyrone suffer a defeat we hear these calls for Mickey to resign. I thought Tyrone played well for most of the game yesterday, up until the 50th minute they were much the better team, it would be harsh on Mickey if this was his last game. My work takes me to Tyrone quite a lot and there is a definite split between supporters, probably 50/50. Some think Mickey is the right man and should have the job as long as he likes, others just want a fresh face. His fans will say he is getting the most out of an average bunch of players, personally I feel this is harsh on the players as Tyrone have some great footballers.

I don't agree we have an AI u21winning management team there that should get a chance Also we need to have the best players in the county on the panel lads like Lee Brennan and Shea McGuigan and others that are on panel need more game time as when things are going bad we turn to the same players who are just no capable of changing the game in our favour redbomb (Tyrone) - Posts: 167 - 12/08/2019 11:13:35 2224539 Link 0 |
If Mickey Harte does step down who is his most likely successor? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 12/08/2019 11:27:01 2224547 Link 4 |
I don't know anything about Tyrone club football so couldn't comment on players not on the panel, players drop out for different reasons as it's an amateur sport at the end of the day. Yes there is an U21 winning management team there who I'd imagine is next in line. There is many great club and underage managers around the country who got an opportunity to manage a senior county team but don't always be successful. David Moran called minor football a different sport yesterday and I'd say the same about U21. It's Tyrone's call and good luck to them but MH goes down as one of the greatest managers of all time - you won't just replace someone that good overnight - Meath is a textbook of the current Tyrone situation, when the players dried up in Meath the call was replace the manager and they'll be fine. We all seen how that ended up, looking from the outside I think in a few years Tyrone people will be talking about the "Harte years" and only realising then how good they had it. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 12/08/2019 11:33:43 2224550 Link 0 |

Changing manager might not work but we need to try something different, It is funny how all the players who have left the panel are all forwards. Just because Meath had trouble since Boylan left doesn't mean the same will happen in Tyrone. redbomb (Tyrone) - Posts: 167 - 12/08/2019 13:13:46 2224618 Link 0 |
Would Malachy O'Rourke be the favourite for the job if Mickey did leave, even though he's from Fermanagh? eoghan6688 (Galway) - Posts: 154 - 12/08/2019 13:32:55 2224630 Link 0 |
There could be a generation of good managers missing out because of one mans presence. IamDonegal (Donegal) - Posts: 134 - 12/08/2019 13:37:29 2224634 Link 0 |
He should go for sure, for a number of "reasons", but he won't and from an Ulster championship perspective I kind of hope he stays. Granted he's beaten Monaghan in many big Croker games in recent times but they are still stuck in that defensive straight jacket .... which gives teams a chance. Had they played the more attacking system yesterday they tried out earlier this year ... they would have beaten Kerry. Lee Brennan is at home. So is Ronan O'Neill. Two of the best forwards in the country. Suits the opposition nicely. Mon79 (Monaghan) - Posts: 81 - 12/08/2019 13:39:06 2224635 Link 0 |
11 years since an All-Ireland win and they won't win another under Mickey. Think it's time for a change. I'd love to see him managing the Antrim footballers. M Lyster (Antrim) - Posts: 461 - 12/08/2019 13:43:55 2224636 Link 0 |
