i think O'Hara has a good chance of getting it. if not him then Dessie Dolan might be worth a punt. meathbasedfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 124 - 09/10/2024 11:09:24 2573856 Link 0 |
Sorry to bust your bubble but there isn't a hope Dessie Dolan is going to Leitrim. He would have no interest. He left the Westmeath job because next year we are to struggle in Div 2 because we have 10+ lads retiring or moving abroad. You guys will struggle next year in div 3 so he would not put himself through that hardship. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 504 - 09/10/2024 11:17:26 2573858 Link 1 |
Apparently Dessie left Westmeath as they were going to lose several players to retirement and travelling and felt they were going to struggle in division 2. He'd be stepping into the same situation here so I'd doubt he'd be interested. If it's true about lack of player buy in that's very worrying next year is only the second year in nearly two decades we'll play outside of Division 4. If there's no buy in now will they ever be? This is bad all round no getting away from it.

Some of the players stepping away from the team have put years of service into it and got very little from it. I don't think its right to question their loyalty to the whole thing. Stepping away for various reasons

Good man! Manager couldn't even stay 3 months . Laughable

Exactly!! Its a thankless job up here im afraid like if he managed 2 keep ye in div3 he'd be a great fella 4 5 min but if and when they get relegated again he'll be the worst in the world. He'd want massive expenses travelling up here to look after ye!!

Not questioning it at all great servants all of them. It's just very hard to make any progress when we're losing players all the time especially in a county with a small pick . Rebuilding in a one of the strongest Division 3 groups in years will be a huge struggle. In those circumstances I wonder if O'Hara would want the job. Whatever the issues with Mickey Graham the timing of this is terrible.

Do not for Christie he destroyed us players wouldn't committed for him and he had favourites maybe he will be different Leitrim but not sure. We got worse each year under him.

It seems strange that lads who have put in years of service. Leave a squad when the opportunity to play in a higher division presents itself. Doesn't say much for a players ambition if this is the case.

If all players stayed on the panel we would still struggle, thats the reality of it. Do you want them to put their life on hold even more and go travelling in their 40's? AverageFootball (Leitrim) - Posts: 16 - 09/10/2024 12:53:06 2573880 Link 0 |

Bit of a shock for Leitrim just when things were looking better, O'Hara might be the man to take it on now, he seems hungry for success could be the man to get the best out of what's there next season. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3015 - 09/10/2024 13:39:39 2573885 Link 0 |
What about Gary Donohoe has had underage success and is highly popular in Cavan from his spell in charge with there underage. Has had a mixed bag with clubs but surely he'd be an option? Declan Bonner,O'Hara all good shouts Weaternpro (Leitrim) - Posts: 63 - 09/10/2024 14:17:48 2573891 Link 0 |
No but I find it strange that "elite" players would drop out at a higher standard. Doesn't reflect very well on the mindset of the player or players.

I think at this stage he could well be although I would rather Padraic Davis. It would be a natural progression for him and his network maybe better in terms of coaches, S&C etc.

It is strange that Coach Moran appeared to want to stay on and then departed and now Coach Graham has departed also. It is unfortunate to lose two county managers in one year. In fact maybe unheard of. eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 09/10/2024 15:29:55 2573911 Link 0 |
