Coaching the Meath U20's is a pretty big mark on his management CV, and I would rather a manager arriving with one big notable job on his CV rather than a heap of jobs all around the place that may have not gone to well like some have. Who knows he may be bringing another coach with him as he is hardly walking in there on his own. Ratoath is dream job for any coach to get regardless of what went on the last two months. They have everything a manager could want, talent, numbers, facilities etc.

When push came to shove Farrell's U20s were beaten out the gate by Dublin. He possessed a talented group of players including at least seven that went on to play with the seniors. Ethan Devine, Shane Walsh, Banty Conlon, Darragh Campion, Robin Clarke, Jason Scully and Sean Reilly. Although I don't think Shane Walsh was around. Yea 12 point defeat to Dublin is a pretty big mark on his management CV alright. Ratoath can do much better than Brian Farrell that's what I am saying.

Is it any wonder they are struggling to get a manager? The way they treated Davy and the politics that's at play in the club would put any top manager off.

I can assure you we were not struggling to get a manager
Brian Farrell was our choice and he is definitely the right guy
He is driven and more then capable to do the job
There will always be nigh sayers no matter who is appointed

Have to agree. Sure half these Development Managers are cronie appointments and they come with absolutely no coaching experience. They get an U20 or Minor job for a year and all of a sudden they are touted as top Managers. He did nothing with U20's and he is in for a rude awakening in senior club management. Experience is everything and he has ZERO club coaching experience. Can see this unravelling in Ratoath

The propaganda and damage limitation continues.

A number of TOP COACHES turned down the "offer" to come in and didn't!!! I can't think why??

Unfortunately we are where we are, and with morale as it is, I for one am not hopeful.

No doubt, others will be on shortly, telling us all how great things really are, and how we have the right man for the job, without mentioning, the current appointee, wasn't even on the original list of chosen candidates.

Was the teamlist given wrong then. You got rid of a great manager You had no comparable manager lined up first. I am surprised Brian Farrell took it on. Presume he only wants a chance to get management experience or maybe he doesent know the club have lost the plot

Is this 100% true Brian Farrell is Ratoath manager?
Absolutely baffled as to why he would want to take this job. In the twilight of his playing career and Nobber back up to senior, why would he manage another senior club who he could be playing against??
Or is it just me that thinks it's crazy

I would bet my bottom dollar he will be playing for Nobber in this years championship.
MOTM in the Intermediate final a few months ago

I agree. Surely he'll play senior with his club after being promoted. Even if just to be a leader in the camp and an experienced head to come on in last 15 mins of champ matches.

If this appointment is correct, and there has been no official announcement to confirm it, then in my view he has to be retired. There is no way it is feasible that a man could play with a senior club in Meath and manage/coach another senior club in Meath, conflict of interest doesn't even cover it.

Anthony Moyles again I presume. Have heard there are problems behind the scenes though, with older players not returning and some key players going travelling.

Heard Moyles is gone. Talk of Kit Henry stepping in with Simi Farrell. Those two men won the Division 1 League before Moyles took over and the club went backwards. Time will tell

Ratoath too good to unravel. Its between themselves and Dunboyne for a while. Lots of good players at the right age.

What were the reasons for Moyles leaving. I notice there results in the feis cup were not the best. I don't think going back to Kit Henry would be a wise move for Dunshaughlin.

I think some players wouldn't play for him and it all came to a head. Not really sure he was coaching them. Some Lynch guy was doing all the fitness work and a Clancy man was doing S&C. There's are a lot of good young players coming through there. If they get the right man over them the can build and progress over the next 2-3 years. Kit got on well with the lads previously and had them playing well for him
