Replying To stonemadbeany: "It will be announced at co board meeting tomorrow night" Therefore it's not official yet Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 22/07/2024 14:48:06 2560644 Link
Replying To jobber: "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." Why would the clubs reject him. The clubs sanctioned a committee including a former player to research the position and their recommendation will be accepted by the clubs. We don't know who else ran.

They will be announcing the proposal LOL The club's won't reject it, it will be ratified tomorrow night unless a delegate asks to postpone the appointment so that they can talk to their clubs. Everything is done behind closed doors, the clubs should've been informed who the candidates were. stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 574 - 22/07/2024 15:28:16 2560669 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "Therefore it's not official yet" You've little to be posting about. stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 574 - 22/07/2024 16:24:07 2560695 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "Why would the clubs reject him. The clubs sanctioned a committee including a former player to research the position and their recommendation will be accepted by the clubs. We don't know who else ran." If you were to get an outside manager again someone with a bit more experience would surely be desirable? If you are only getting a number 2 in to see if he can step up to being a number one then surely you would be better going with a local man?

Replying To stonemadbeany: "You've little to be posting about." Irony not your strong suit obviously. You're the lad claiming it's official as in an announcement about it, he seems the favourite but entirely based on rumour. You hardly live your life according to rumours. I simply said there's a meeting tomorrow night, a fact, yours a rumour. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 22/07/2024 18:19:54 2560740 Link

This is a massive disappointment for me if bulfin gets it... preddan (Kildare) - Posts: 746 - 23/07/2024 12:22:01 2560866 Link
Replying To preddan: "This is a massive disappointment for me if bulfin gets it..." 100% agree Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 23/07/2024 13:34:46 2560904 Link
It appears there may be a few more twists in this before it's announced! LockLeanGayl (Westmeath) - Posts: 248 - 23/07/2024 16:23:46 2560989 Link
Will have to give him time but first impression is a very underwhelming appointment…….. puglerdaly (Westmeath) - Posts: 127 - 23/07/2024 22:23:21 2561087 Link
Replying To LockLeanGayl: "It appears there may be a few more twists in this before it's announced!" Could Damien Glesson be approached possibly?! I think he would be a very positive appointment if he was approached.. Matthew (None) - Posts: 1022 - 23/07/2024 22:50:03 2561096 Link
My last post can clearly be ignored. I see the announcement has been made on the new manager… Matthew (None) - Posts: 1022 - 23/07/2024 23:52:56 2561108 Link
Replying To preddan: "This is a massive disappointment for me if bulfin gets it..." I 100% agree also. He may struggle to get buy in from the players.. Matthew (None) - Posts: 1022 - 23/07/2024 23:54:45 2561109 Link
Replying To Matthew: "I 100% agree also. He may struggle to get buy in from the players.." Surely the senior players in the squad were consulted before announcement? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 457 - 24/07/2024 09:55:36 2561133 Link
Poor appointment in my opinion, Johnny Greville or Kevin O'Brien would have been far far better, Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 24/07/2024 10:15:34 2561141 Link
Nice of 5 hurling clubs to not bother showing up for the vote. Fair play to LLG and Castlepollard for standing up. Beggars belief that football clubs should have a vote in hurling matters & vice versa westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 268 - 24/07/2024 11:08:20 2561166 Link
Replying To westmeathgaa11: "Nice of 5 hurling clubs to not bother showing up for the vote. Fair play to LLG and Castlepollard for standing up. Beggars belief that football clubs should have a vote in hurling matters & vice versa" Possibly didn't show to prove the point even more Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 391 - 24/07/2024 11:22:16 2561176 Link
Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Possibly didn't show to prove the point even more" That's like arguing not voting in a general election because you're not happy with the govt. Achieves nothing. Five clubs represented at meeting if true is a real indictment on the hurling clubs. Everyone knew there was one item on the agenda.

Replying To Temple56: "Surely the senior players in the squad were consulted before announcement?" Some players were consulted There will be an exodus Will be a very different looking Westmeath team next year by all accounts LockLeanGayl (Westmeath) - Posts: 248 - 24/07/2024 12:32:02 2561202 Link
