My initial preference would be for Declan O'Sullivan. Not a huge amount of experience but he has done well with Dromid and was involved with the 20s for a while previously. Alternative possibilities I can think of are Jimmy Keane, Liam Kearns, Diarmuid Murphy, Seamus Moynihan or Jerry O'Sullivan. I would also be delighted if the manager wanted and got Donie Buckley involved. Kerry15 (Kerry) - Posts: 634 - 24/11/2020 16:42:28 2314789 Link 1 |
You ré so right Horsebox. Dubs were the first team really to exploit the handpass and then we took it to the optimum level and were nt just beating teams but destroying them so the gaa brought in steps to curb Kerry s dominance by banning scoring from the handpass It did nt stop us winning in 81 but brought us back to the chasing group and we were beaten in 82.

I wouldn't mind Éamon Fitzmaurice being involved with the new U20 management kerry15 he is a good coach but I'd only have him as the number 2 with maybe Kearns.

Sugrue a good trainer but I agree with Kerry 15 that as a manager he was a little too Conservative. Alot of manager like that nowadays but I think a good manager should have horses for courses and change game plans to suit opposition. Liam Kearns did great work with Limk and Tipp but in Laois they were nt overly impressed with him. Then again Laois hard to please. The game has changed alot so you need different characters. A manager will only get experience by managing so I've no prob in throwing someone in cold. My choices would be Séamus Moynihan Declan Ó Sullivan or even Dónal Daly. The likes of William Kirby maybe.. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 1144 - 24/11/2020 19:25:35 2314897 Link 0 |
I had a lot of high hopes for Sugrue, pity he couldn't seem to get the most out of the lads, then again the long layoff and Covid outbreak in the squad just before the outbreak were hardly ideal prep. So you can't honestly be too critical. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 5931 - 25/11/2020 08:56:58 2315091 Link 4 |
I agree Declan is a pure football man. A scoring forward but an eye for defending and totally committed. If interested he would be a good fit I would think.

Word in Dublin is there is unrest in Kerry camp and that players voted to get rid of Keane 26 to 11.Protest led by Moran and Paul Geaney (whom they say was dropped for Cork game for disciplinary reasons). Also word was Moran was warned before game not to be taking on long range shots and hold possession and he did opposite. Chairman backing Keane so if all this is true it could get messy. I don't know how true any of this is. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 1144 - 27/11/2020 07:46:49 2315835 Link 0 |

Mayo ousted Connolly and Holmes and came within a whisker of an All Ireland the following two years. There is almost certainly no smoke without a fire somewhere. I'm 99% sure the part about Geaney being dropped rather than injured is true. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2018 - 27/11/2020 10:23:38 2315864 Link 4 |
I saw that being sent around Whatsap this morning, pure horse**** I'd say. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 5931 - 27/11/2020 10:50:29 2315872 Link 4 |
That's true Gerry I forgot about Mayo, the only thing is if does happen then it puts a massive target on the players backs with everyone hoping they fail but nothing new there though :-)

It's an ugly business, I feel for Keane if it's true. I'm not going to pretend to know any details but whatever transpired I am sure everyone was doing what they thought was best for Kerry. If the rumours are true and there is a player revolt of sorts then Keane is a dead man walking. It doesn't matter if he is right or wrong, once you lose the dressing room thats it, you are done.

I saw the message being sent around, a load of BS I'd say myself. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 5931 - 27/11/2020 12:44:23 2315905 Link 4 |
Oh he's gone if it's true Gerry , I hope they know what they're doing..

Apologies for the repetition, I didn't see my first post had actually been put up.

I don't know what to think, in 1 way PK has done a lot for us with the minors and got us to 3 finals last year winning 1 and winning us the league this year but then I see the state of us this year and I start to think he's in over his head, who would we get if he was to go? I can't think of anyone off hand.

As I say I got the WhatsApp from friends in Dublin. I txted a few pals from home and they ve heard nothing. Bernard Flynn tweeted something about it also. Whether it's true or not all of it can't be true. I would agree the Moran would hardly go against instruction on purpose. Now while I'm not a fan of PK s style I don't agree with player power. The only ones that came out well afterwards was Galway hurlers. Mayo were just after winning 5 Connaught in a row when the had player power and did nt win again till this year. It put Cork back ten years.

Well I hope there is no heave. I don't like player power.
