Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna give the job to you By now, you should've somehow realised that you've a lot of work to do to keep us in Division 2 I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now Backbeat, the word is on the street that the Rossies put you out I'm sure you've heard of Fore and Ball'nagore, but you never really had a drought I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now And all the retirements we have to replace is heightening And all the land on the Delvin Road the clubs will pay for is frightening There are many things that I would like to say to you But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves us And after all You're our WonderWall" Don't give up the day job.....

Replying To Undertheroad: "U and plenty of others both last year and the start of this year but anyway i am not knocking all I was trying to say is young lads these days you can't depend on them especially at senior level. As for people talking up Rory Gallagher for managers job leave it be some roll model it would be I sooner go to division 4 than let that lad in" I agree, people talking up Rory Gallagher, he would be some roll model for our young lads, what do some people be thinking? Looks like Lar Wall will be the man. dec (None) - Posts: 287 - 23/09/2024 10:31:55 2571407 Link

Otherwise stop spouting nonsense. If I mentioned Moate it was as a half decent team in section B who could challenge for the second spot behind The Downs, in other words they had a chance of finishing 8th in the championship round robin, I also didn't think they were relegation candidates. I never suggested they could reach a semi final, that would have been fanciful. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1945 - 23/09/2024 11:10:43 2571420 Link

He would get Westmeath further than lar wall if you were to talk only on football terms. The outside stuff is a major issue but would be a great chance to land a top manager.

I suggested Buddah Mangan weeks ago on this forum and without any inside sources I still think he's a serious contender. He ticks a lot of boxes managerial wise, former player who performed on the biggest day, lots of management experience at club and county level, remarkably he's still playing senior championship football in his mid forties, knows the Westmeath football scene inside out, great man manager, has had championship success at senior level albeit in hurling but his football knowledge is flawless, probably in his last spell as Castletown manager, highly respected by Westmeath gaels, an outside manager would be lacking in many key areas compared to Buddah.

I'd happily be bottom of division 4 for the next 20 years than have Rory Gallagher as manager. It won't be him anyways but anybody here cheerleading for Rory Gallagher would wanna take a long hard look in the mirror. Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 185 - 23/09/2024 13:49:15 2571450 Link

Replying To iarmhiabu: "Bluesnowflake. I thought I had won the most embarrassing post of the day." Calling him snowflake for having an opinion is ridiculous Many wouldn't want him whether he did stuff or not. Fair enough if you cast that aside but having an opinion Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 539 - 23/09/2024 15:28:24 2571475 Link

Buddah would be a great internal option I agree. Would Westmeath be any further on in a few years that is the question. he could be the first to manage Westmeath in football and hurling as i think he would be also a great fit for the hurlers after bulfin goes.
