Surely the Leitrim Gaels management need to be considered... What they have achieved with this group is startling, coming from being the Juniors whipping boys to one win away from a senior championship final. They also have a distinct style of play, a defensive set up and structured well to break down teams then break fast on the counter. They have no star players, no David Clifford or Christiano Ronaldo GOAT players but they have a good team that work together and that is all it takes to achieve greatness in GAA. Their management are surely worthy of an interview at least??? harleys (Leitrim) - Posts: 318 - 22/09/2021 05:55:51 2382223 Link
Kevin Walsh would be a great appointment although I can't see him being interested in it. The standard of the club championship is very poor, and wouldn't give much hope to a new manager. I think the couldn't board need to be smart with there appointment. Should be someone that is proven to have a good team structure that gets results. Reality is if we can get out of division 4 again it's a success for a new manager bounceofball (Leitrim) - Posts: 27 - 22/09/2021 10:28:10 2382262 Link

Mal Guckian in with Drumreilly setup now was over them in intermediate and last year in senior, Paul Prior and co. came in with them this year.

If Walsh is going into kildare as a coach. He has he eyes on taking over Galway again. Rumours coming out of Galway is PJ isn't popular amongst the players. Not a patch on Walsh. 3rdmidfielder (Australia) - Posts: 411 - 22/09/2021 19:00:35 2382411 Link

If Walsh and Andy Moran were bought interviewed or at least approached and interested in it and both end up with different counties then you'd have to question the people who are interviewing them and try to sell Leitrim as a project Champotime18 (Leitrim) - Posts: 442 - 22/09/2021 20:30:03 2382429 Link

Either way my optimism of a man who will bring anything to the table is low, resources should be focused on underage for 5 possibly 10 years, maybe then we can build a team capable of getting into and staying in top 16 of all Ireland series gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 624 - 22/09/2021 22:37:50 2382449 Link

It will come down to money. Zero ambition. We have appointed Hagan, Ward, Reynolds, Guckian over the years and no disrespect to these guys they are glorified club managers who have done nothing since. It can't just come down to money they need to show some ambition. 3rdmidfielder (Australia) - Posts: 411 - 23/09/2021 10:19:18 2382490 Link

Agree here but when your county chairman is coming out and saying lads should be playing for Leitrim for the love of the jersey with zero reimbursement to travel expenses etc, its fairly clear what their priority is.

Like anything everyone stands around pointing fingers at each other but it takes people to do the work. That being said, it's hard to get the right people when there's so few to start with. We'll always struggle with that in Leitrim and that's where outside help will be needed... knocking on doors in Croke Park etc. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1274 - 23/09/2021 16:03:28 2382582 Link

There has to be an upping of the game coaching wise at club level. Croke Park can help but choices have to be made at CB about where to put resources. Some of the posters here seem to think the CB should go out with a blank cheque to bring in a high powered name. Did the names mentioned previously do much worse than under the talented Mickey Moran. Having said that I do agree that a manager who will inspire players, who have choices, to commit is necessary. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 558 - 23/09/2021 17:34:27 2382614 Link

Even more important than who's in charge at adult level in the clubs. Tbf we can't blame the county board for who the clubs have coaching teams. I for one attend a lot of underage games and some of the coaches in clubs are coaching completely against how we are told how to coach. Negative shouting at players, win at all costs, teams with second teams playing most of there first team just to win a game. Not coaching to use both feet. Nothing is changing when you strip it all down. Champotime18 (Leitrim) - Posts: 442 - 23/09/2021 18:05:01 2382621 Link

Heard from a little bird there that Andy Moran taking the job is a done deal. I didn't believe a word of the speculation over the last few weeks until this particular person told me... Now I'm like a child at Christmas hoping it's true.... leitrimlad15 (Leitrim) - Posts: 108 - 23/09/2021 23:04:32 2382672 Link

If this is true, god bless the CB's wit... he has practically next to no coaching experience. As I've said before, there are managers within the county that I'd have well ahead of him. I hope it won't end in tears & I doubt he'll be cheap with the backroom team he'll demand. The chap clearly wanted the Longford job and 'someone' let it slip to the media to try push the process... it's fairly clear Longford weren't going to be browbet when they released a statement afterwards.

I think he did a stint playing soccer with longford town back in the day so indeed he may have had a soft spot for that neck of the woods. Who knows... We need someone fairly soon at this stage.

Perhaps one of the local managers could do the job. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 558 - 24/09/2021 11:43:42 2382722 Link
