Replying To Gaa_lover:  "Davy Burke was appointed at the end of October, Roscommon was odds on to get relegated yet completed in division one to finish 3rd and just missed out on a league final spot.

Roscommon county board will likely look back on that and think no rush. Or might see Burke as their McGeeney and give him more time?

On another note I see Conor Carroll had transferred to St Brigids."
Three years on, do you regard Davy Burke as having been a success as Roscommon Manager.?

Really don't like this regarding Carrol. Even though he's form has dropped this year it'll likely be the grain of rice that'll tip A really strong Brigids side to the county title and probably Connacht. Between one of Kilbrides players going medal hunting to the Gaels and the Carrol development , don't like where this is leading.

He had periods of success as in finishing 3rd in Div 1 in year 1 when tipped for relegation. Reaching the last 8 of the championship in year 2 when expected to make a round 12 exit and promoted back to Div 1 in year 3 that was probably expected but still a Div 2 that we now know includes two teams that has reached the last 8 of the championship and two others went down fighting in their last 12 ties last weekend.

What the Roscommon county board regard as a success is that matters though. If success for them was reaching another All Ireland Quarter final this summer then he's a goner whenever the review is held, However they may have some long or longer term view in place or they can't find or lure any suitable replacement at this moment then Davy Burke could well be given one further year. The ball is in the county boards court.

Sometimes a team can be giving decent performances but not getting the results.
However Ros Seniors were not giving decent performances since the League match in De Páirc.
We seemed mired in the oul style pre 2025 football.
Hard to make a case for reappointing Davy.
However the lack of any comment from Davy or Co Board suggests their first choice is to reappoint him.

There is no case for reappointing Davy Burke. None if you have any expectations at all of Roscommon as a serious football force. The Roscommon County Board don't have to be as ruthless as the Mayo County Board( classless and tasteless by them) but Burke's Term is up and it should be goodbye and farewell over the next few weeks.

Do they have to get the clubs to vote on a reappointment? Maybe they waiting on feedback from players as well.
