Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Joe Fortune confirmed for Westmeath next year so won't be getting the job anyway." I think a decision/announcement is very close. Just by coincidence my Google feed has been alive with Wexford hurling manager stories from the last few weeks all morning too whatever is going on with it, it wasn't like that yesterday. Plenty of talk in Carlow that Mulally might be the new man for us. Hopefully they are right. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 08/08/2023 16:21:38 2499585 Link
Replying To tearintom: "Well we know for definite now that Joe Fortune wont be the next Wexford senior hurling manager anyway." That's good news for him. Hopefully it goes well for him over the coming years. Next time we are looking for a manager he will be a better manager for the extra senior intercounty experience he will get.

I heard Mulally myself, but until it if officially ratified you have to take these rumours with a pinch of salt. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 835 - 08/08/2023 16:45:46 2499590 Link

Heard rumours of 2 other people at the weekend, not believing anything until something official is released. TerribleFootwork (Wexford) - Posts: 1760 - 08/08/2023 17:10:35 2499596 Link

Three interviewed: Mulally from KK; Mattie Murphy from Galway; and Donal Og from Cork. Murphy is the outsider, but apparently neck n neck between the other two. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2114 - 09/08/2023 02:32:38 2499635 Link
I wonder how close are we to a decision? My understanding is that there are also other jobs to be announced minor football and hurling for example and wonder will they hold off ratify and announce everything at once? tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1435 - 09/08/2023 08:29:53 2499637 Link

Mattie Murphy is a strange one . I know he had huge success with Galway underage but is he not getting on a bit now it would be a huge commitment travelling from Galway. Donal Og also would be a huge gamble. Like Egan he has been involved with inter county set ups but he's unproven as an inter county manager. Mulally would be my pick if we can get him would be very good appointment in my opinion Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 09/08/2023 10:06:44 2499649 Link

Good balance of experience, and success nearly everywhere he went before. If he gets the job hopefully he can bring that to our Senior hurlers.

Replying To FearBeag: "Both of them are a fair bit behind the top goalkeepers out there, puckouts a problem for both. Seamus Casey worth a go if willing to commit." Senior Club player of the week this week. As a forward! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 10/08/2023 12:45:32 2499878 Link
Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Wouldn't look up my nose at any mid 20s lafs, as I said David Reidy perfect example, dropped off the Limerick panel at 24, works his way back into the squad starts his 1st final at 30." Another lad who has put in alot of work since last year and looked OK in a challenge game earlier this year is Joe Coleman. He's having a good club championship too. Hopefully he gets another call this winter. Has a bit of size to go with the skill too. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 10/08/2023 12:47:57 2499880 Link
Very disappointed to read Keith Rossiter in the fame for the Wexford job mentioned in todays independent. I'm sure he will be one for the future, but surely there is better more qualified candidates out there. alwaysasub (Wexford) - Posts: 451 - 11/08/2023 11:03:57 2500025 Link

I'd have no issues with Keith Rossitor as manager but he needs a coach with him. I guess David Franks will come in as the coach similar to the U20 set up last year. Let Keith manage and Franks coach. logger (Wexford) - Posts: 298 - 11/08/2023 11:49:39 2500035 Link
