Replying To LockLeanGayl: "I believe that Brendan Shaw excused himself from the process to be impartial with a club mate of his shortlisted I also believe Derek wasn't present for all of the interviews. One candidate was interviewed by just Frank, Willie and Pat" You are very interested in this & seem to know a lot about what's happening. Inside job?

Replying To Left Full: "You are very interested in this & seem to know a lot about what's happening. Inside job?" Left full is great for the conspiracy theories. They love a conspiracy in Raharney... But getting back to the point I can see the board staying internal. Going for a man who left his previous role under a cloud won't be appealing to the hurling man on the street. Players should have an input but not decide the manager. Let's trust the board to make right decision. I'd say decision is made and just waiting for football championship have it's place this weekend. Let's back our own coaches we've enough of the outside cv builders.

Loaf of bread pod has it that Bulfin is the new man Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 185 - 20/07/2024 15:02:44 2560183 Link
Lots of rumours from sources in the know that Bulfin is the new manager, somewhat surprising but only fair to wait and see if it's official and see his credentials, he's got lots of experience involved with teams, the two local men interested must be thinking that it's going to be an outside manager from now on.

If thats true the local men will be very disappointed.Bulfin as a coach great record.2 years with Meath hardly a good advertisment to manage us.Thinking about it I find it hard to believe.Lets wait. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1611 - 20/07/2024 17:55:48 2560199 Link

Great record as a coach? really? Paul Kinnerk was Clare coach in 13, then they brought in Donal Og when Kinnerk left… He wasn't head coach in Wexford either On Davys coat tails then went to Meath on his own, won a Christy Ring they were the absolute clear favourites to win and left after the league the following year A seriously underwhelming appointment Gutted for Johnny and Kevin, can we just assume now there will never be an internal manager?

Replying To stonemadbeany: "It will be announced at co board meeting tomorrow night" They wont be announcing it.They will be proposing it to the clubs who can reject their recommendation.Management will be trying to get the football clubs onside.But if the majority of the hurling clubs reject him Bulfin must see the game is up. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1611 - 22/07/2024 14:06:19 2560621 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "How can it be fact when nothing official yet?" Have heard from lads in the club that Johnny and Kevin have both told people that they haven't got it and that Bulfin is the choice of the county board LockLeanGayl (Westmeath) - Posts: 257 - 22/07/2024 14:17:04 2560627 Link
