Donegal county board have denied there are any ultimatums as they hold discussions with senior team manager Rory Gallagher.
A report today suggested that Gallagher, who is set to enter into his third year with the team in 2017, had sought a new four-year term with the Tir Chonaill County and was willing to walk away if not granted.
However, speaking to hoganstand.com, PRO Ed Byrne clarified that discussions between the board and Gallagher are still in progress.
"Rory met on Friday night with a subcommittee and the discussions were about plans for the future, plans going forward, plans for the manager and what his term was. A number of things were discussed and that is on-going," said Byrne.
"Rory had his views and the board had their views but there were no ultimatums. The executive committee met on Monday and Friday's meeting with Rory was discussed, among a number of other issues.
"There is a feeling that the rebuilding of the team and the job at hand would take more than a year and perhaps a longer term might suit that."
