Replying To Bigjoe1:  "County manager list already cut down, Johnny Grenville, Adrian Moran both not available, would Leo O'Connor be the right man, or Eddie Brennan? if he'd be interested in the top job."
Eddie Brennan was only committing to once a week/fortnight and was in there because of his links to Kevin so I would be stunned if that happened. Leo O'Connor is surely waiting for Offaly and wouldn't touch the mess that we are. I don't know where they go from here

Eddie Brennan got his eyes opened in Laois even without Wolly hanging him out to dry. We all want Westmeath hurling to thrive and prosper, the issue is the backing any new manager gets from the CB.

The county board didn't push to remove the last manager. It was players and online pundits.

Very sensitive posters on here. I see that not everyone on here believes that Cleary and Maleady run the show. It will take 6-7 high quality players to advance in this competition not 2 that's all.

Maybe 2 sides to story not saying players or some arent to blame but cb have ti take some part qin it and manager but cb too look mess minor board is in too.

In case senior what online pundits you refering general social media or pundits on podcast who give opinion but dont remember them saying that much wrong towards kevin saying westmeath hurlijg is low level or struggling with players going in is fact no matter whos fault it is.

Online pundits coukd social media keyboard warriors is it?

When you lose the players especially in a World where there are lots of choices you are done. The boards responsability now is unlike the last two appointments find a management fit to drive Westmeath hurling. This time they have started well bringing all the hurling clubs together with 2 important club men involved in the decision.Lets hope they are listened to.
