Replying To Meridian:  "Its a newish Co Board setup so not sure who you wish to be held accountable. The Board seek nominations for the position. They can only pick from who is nominated."
Thats not true other countys physically go out and get the manager they want. So your logic is if lets say Boris Johnson went for the job and he was the better candidate over donald trump then its his. Other countys go out and get the man they desire. We had last years manager who completely under achieved with a really good team. The two years previous we had another manager who didnt win a competitive game for 2 years like did we have anyone else go for the job in that 2 year stint?
This years manager went for the job last year and didnt get it but now hes good enough this year, or is it because last year was so bad that it couldnt get any worse.

Last years group topped their league group ,losing a league semi by 2pts, lost to kildare by 4 who went on to win the Tier 2 All-Ireland. Beat Longford by 9 who won the All Ireland Tier 3,Lost to Louth by 4pt who went to the Leinster final and won two games in Leinster for the first time in six years ,sounds like theres a personal gripe with last year
