You're completely right. No offence to the players, they always give 100% and give everything for the jersey but they're miles off the top teams.

The candidates will be secret, the committee will be secret and the managerial appointment date will be secret, all to respect the integrity of the process… and if a member of the committee ends up in the new management team, well these things happen.

Answer me this was Murphy in 3 donegal nominees for player of year in 2012? You could easily say if Durcans foot didn't come to rescue v tyrone in clones. Murphy was a vital part off course but to say he was a one man band shows your lack of understanding of the game. This was a team moulded by a great manager. To compare Kildare to that kerry team is just ridiculous. That kerry team were in around finals and semis and were only ever a score away from beating likes of tyrone in 21, and took dubs to replay in 19. They had won 5 minors titles in a row. Kildare wernt even within 15 points of dubs. O Connor just give kerry that extra 10percent and lot would tell you it was the tally influence by getting their defensive structure right more so than o Connor. To say we had serious squad in 2010. It's easy knowing there wasn't too many of use at Cork quarter final in croker in 09 where we were destroyed or in Crossmaglen in 2010.Or antrim beating them in ballybofey in 2009. It was same squad bar a few that Jim moulded into the best team in the land. Lot to learn about fball on this forum yet I see. marty234 (Donegal) - Posts: 158 - 21/07/2023 23:09:27 2496056 Link 4 |

As far as I know, the 5 person committee will only be put together on Monday night once all the candidates are known in order to avoid any conflicts of interest. Clubs have to come back with names of people they'd like to see on that committee. SignTheContract (Donegal) - Posts: 197 - 22/07/2023 09:00:40 2496070 Link 0 |

If you took time to read the post, he didn't specifically say it was 2010. He was on about that decade. Every days a learning day.

It would be farcical if McGeehin ends up on the interview panel on this occasion, but nothing would surprise me at this stage. StockholmGael (Donegal) - Posts: 135 - 23/07/2023 11:53:50 2496231 Link 2 |

Who do we want managing Donegal. Be interesting to hear. A few declined to answer the question. I said all along I want a Donegal man in charge I don't mind the trainer being from outside. More than likely if anybody applied that we'll have to get a committee head hunting possible managers. Hopefully the people on the committee will have donegal football at heart and get the right candidate. .Murphy has to be part of the set up maybe not as manager but in some capacity. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2580 - 23/07/2023 13:58:49 2496247 Link 0 |

Micheal would be a good man to have on the five person committee. A modern footballer who knows what's needed and will ask the correct questions in regards tactics, training methods, coaching plans, S and C..

I don't know of too many candidates within the County that would be good enough? It looks like it's a bit early for Michael Murphy yet. Rory Cavanagh would be the ideal candidate but has ruled himself out of the job, maybe if we take it easy on St Eunans this year he would reconsider...... A Gary Mc Daid & Eamonn MC Gee combination would be the only proposition at the minute. I still think getting the Academy up and running is the priority at the minute.

Completely correct in what you said there, it was by far a team effort. A lot of the team in 12, and I won't mention any names, were there in 2010 and were to inconsistent and were going no where. A top class manager improved all them players, and added to the squad from the u21 squad he managed the previous year. It's a insult to the great players we had in 12 to say they were a one man team. McGrath, McGee X 2, Lacey, Thomson, McGlynn, our midfield and half forwards. Actually the best player in 12 was probably a journey man until a great manager got his hands on him, and that was Colm McFadden. He was our best player along with Lacey in 12. But it's no surprise who said 12 was a one man team, this same poster would hate to give credit to the great manager we in 12, all because of where he is from. And yet will praise another manager and fight his corner even after failing to get us to even one all Ireland semi final, and two spells in charge. He might learn something if he visited the great club our 12 manager is from, but his hatred would stop that from happening. The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 711 - 23/07/2023 19:29:40 2496385 Link 1 |

Just wondering Mark McHugh has gained some experience in Roscommon, could he be part of a management team? one things for sure the McHugh's know football inside out. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3066 - 23/07/2023 19:38:05 2496391 Link 0 |

Mark Mc Hugh was a trainer and not a Manager. Martin Mc Hugh got plenty of opertunities but was never interested.

The coaches are more important than the manager. So are we getting someone who is managing the team or both? For example I'd have no issue Martin Mc Hugh managing but if he was to coach the team, that would be an issue. Surely he has imput but you get the idea. We need modern thinking. Declan saw that. Only using Martin as an example. Declan had coaches under him, it's the way to go. Very few "manager coaches"about the likes of. Rory Gallagher, Mc Guinness who do both. So we had Paddy Carr as a manager but there was a clear divide in terms of how to coach. Paddy wanted the ball kicked which sounds great in theory but the players weren't long realising you need coaching. You need a connection between manager and coach..when exactly does that happen? In short, who are we getting and more importantly who are the coaches. TheRock2121 (Donegal) - Posts: 1194 - 24/07/2023 00:44:51 2496446 Link 0 |

Listening to Devenney on highland radio this morning, it seems that people from the 92 team will be part of the group to select the new manager. Said he was 'very happy to hear the names involved', and they are people with loads of experience ... greenfan (Donegal) - Posts: 586 - 24/07/2023 16:37:21 2496606 Link 1 |

Sounds promising, hopefully 2012 names are not far away either from the process, whether selection committee or actual management team at the end of it.

I've heard one name in amongst the 9 which would make a lot of people very happy but I will believe it when I see it CCFabu (Donegal) - Posts: 129 - 25/07/2023 09:56:44 2496717 Link 0 |

Whatever about McHugh being on it, I'm not overjoyed at Molloy being on it. Things have moved on and he hasn't really kept himself in the game. The recent social media posts involving him didn't have a great look either. It'll be McHugh picking the manager. SignTheContract (Donegal) - Posts: 197 - 25/07/2023 10:10:41 2496724 Link 1 |
