Replying To FoolsGold:  "Declan Bonner is supposedly in the frame but still involved at club level."
Shows you too this time last year and through the league all the talk was about Derry and the Glen boys winning the All Ireland club, favs in some peoples books for Sam, top manager in to take them to the Holy Grail.
Now Derry are in disarray much like we were in 2023, I think they just need to steady the ship and get a competent manager in place and Declan Bonner would certainly fit that bill.
I think they should forget about RG, that ship has sailed.

Which makes you wonder why they haven't appointed Enda Muldoon. Someone is pushing hard for RG to be involved. He's split milk at this stage and they should move on.

This time last year Mickey Harte and Gavin Devlin were in and there was great excitement across the country.
Who's the Derry fans choice?

The players are the ones still pushing for RG.

What do you think of Paddy Tally getting the job? He has plenty of experience anyway that's for sure.
Can't wait for the league to get started again, seeing the new rules that come in play out will be very interesting, hope it all improves the game.

Looks like a decent appointment, surprised Kerry are letting him go even though they have recently added Cian O'Neill to their management team from Galway.

Four months to appoint a manager has showed the Derry county board to be fairly incompetent.

They can hardly stop him, amateur sport no legal contracts etc.

Looks like Paddy Tally with Enda and others..
Prior to MH appt last year after Derry's second Ulster and the performance v Kerry in the AISF everybody I know from around the country were talking about Derry and their exciting sometimes brilliant and at other times devastating style of football.
On top of this given our phoenix like rise from Div 4 to Div 1 in 4 years most genuine gaa people had a genuine desire to see Derry doing well.
The RG debacle has soured a lot of this goodwill and the monumental failure to attract and secure a forward looking progressive coaching team by the DCB since July has everybody talking about us again but for all the wrong reasons.
Paddy Tally is a Tyrone man and unlike Brolly I have no problem with that.
We have previous with this man He is an honest smart coach and he knows Derry football He sees the undoubted potential in the current squad and he's well aware of our winning minors in the background
If and when the DCB appoint him...if they also announce that they 'got the man they always wanted' then I'm getting myself a Tyrone shirt...
By the time this is moderated and put up...Tally may well have let the world know that nobody from the DCB had even asked him...
