It would be good to know what is happening before club championship starts whether Colm is staying on,getting a new coaches in or a new manager.As other posters have said we have no doubt gone backwards.I was hoping we could kick on after the TC (thought winning would give us belief and a lift)but nothing has changed. I was hoping after the indifferent league we would see something better in championship but it was so poor.Losing to louth (over at halftime)losing to Kerry over at halftime and losing to Monaghan over with 5 mins into the second half and before anyone says we came back Monaghan switched off and emptied their bench for the next game.Its not good enough to not been in with a chance of winning in any of the championship matches (bar beating Longford)in the last 10 mins or really the second half.I dont think he will listen to any new coach and if and I state if the reason the 2 coaches went is because they were not been listened too then the county board does have a duty to sort it out.Id love to see it work for him but dont see much progress,we're not really competitive,dont seem to have a system and lack belief.We all know we wont be winning all Irelands anytime soon but would be great to take a scalp or 2 to start the building process.Ill be honest I've backed Colm from the start but its wearing very thin now.Would folk like Cathal o bric in with Colm or him in on his own?An outside manager?Its a big decision as we have decent young players coming through and we need to nurture them well

Replying To Blackspot09: "The problem lies at the top is Nonsense. When McEntee was the manager or O'Dowd or Banty they were getting all the flak if it wasn't working. Now because of who the manager is a lot of people are giving him a free pass and blaming the CB only .
They left because they were getting little or no input. Is that the fault of the lads are the top ??
Yes the CB have to take some of the responsibility but the lions share of responsibility is with the man in charge of the team always. It's his job to assemble the best possible backroom team and he has either failed to do so or he has chosen not to do so" "The problem lies at the top is nonsense" To me the problem is that the management team are under performing as per on field performances over the duration to date.The manager said he wants to continue .
Without any question that puts the ball right at the feet of the CB. They have the responsibility to take charge now meaning they make sure they provide all interested parties have an input so they the CB can say yes we have listened
Colm will know that team preparation has not been good enough in terms of coaching as per results, The NEED to fill this shortfall is NOT negotiable and he should know that anyway based on results Colms wish to continue has to be on the condition that this need is met or otherwise he doed not continue. The CB takes charge for the good of Meath football .I fully supported Colms appointment and i will withraw my support if he is seen as not trying to improve our lot . Enough is enough I recall clearly COLM saying he would not have all the answers and would bring in help when needed. Why has that not happened ? p.s. Colm great player who never was found wanting on the field himself no question and great thanks merited. Diferent role now requiring different skills and as he said would need help. What is he waiting for then ?

Replying To Blackspot09: "It's fairly simple in my opinion.
1 COR is told he needs to bring in a proven coach
He either does this himself or the CB will get one and put one in.
If he can't or won't get one in then the CB know what they need to do." I would suggest that the problem lies at the top. We had a proven coach in Garrigan last season, along with Eivers. Was it made known why they both left? Apologies if I've missed this. I simply cannot get away from the fact that we have managed to regress since McEntee left. I would give last year a pass as it was year 1 of the project but this year was unacceptable. Yes, as others have mentioned, the standard of football in the county in not good. The senior manager cannot do anything about that. However, I believe not enough is being done with the players that are there.
