Reports that Jim McGuinness has been helping out Mayo ahead of tomorrow's All-Ireland final are untrue, according to David Brady.
Rumours have been circulating in recent days that the former Donegal manager joined the Mayo team in Limerick last weekend. Brady was led to believe this was the case until he received a text while speaking live on Newstalk this afternoon confirming that the rumours weren't true.
"I was told that Jim McGuinness was down in Limerick. I now know for a fact that he wasn't," the former midfielder said.
"That's put to bed there now and this [texter] wasn't telling lies. I can categorically say now, [Mayo manager] Stephen Rochford has never spoken to Jim McGuinness in his life."
The Ballina man had expressed serious reversations about drafting in someone from outside the camp before he received the text.
"Honestly, I don't agree with it. I don't think it's good. I don't think it's right that you're bringing in someone. You always seek advice but to bring in someone so close to a final, are you kind of saying 'well, we need you or we won't in it without having your stamp on it?' Tony McEntee is someone who's won All-Irelands. He's been there.
"What you've been doing up to now, if you think it's right, it's probably the way to go."
