Replying To Blackspot09: "Andy Mac is entitled to his good name also yet it seems acceptable for people to claim he reneged on an agreement despite none of them having a shred of evidence to back it up." Of course he is, I said this is previous post and cannot understand why CB did not address this issue head on. There has to be a paper trail that will clear this up, one way or another. If none exists then a statement from CB that no such agreement was made should suffice. Then the question, why is BF being interview for post if he damaged the rep. of not only previous manager but Chairman and Meath football in general? Surely BF realised this issue would be front and centre in his attempt to become senior manager and therefore would have to be on very solid ground going forward. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2150 - 19/07/2022 11:19:58 2432887 Link
Replying To Analyst: "What evidence would there be, have we proof he didn't??" There is no evidence he didn't. There is also no evidence he did. So as I said nobody should be on here claiming he reneged on an agreement or didn't renege on an agreement without any evidence which none of us do because none was provided. Congratulations you just hammered home my point for me. Blackspot09 (Meath) - Posts: 870 - 19/07/2022 11:25:56 2432888 Link

If there wasn't an agreement in place I actually think the CB made the right call in saying nothing rather than getting into a back and forth in the media. And lets be honest if there was such an agreement in place and down in writing the other party involved would not have been slow to leak it to the media. My opinion on him going forward for an interview is the CB and 3 man Committee were hoping to just tick a box by allowing him to go for it but had no intention of giving it to him because they probably assumed like we all did that there would be much more interest from more qualified people. This may not be the case now and they may end up having to offer him the job. Blackspot09 (Meath) - Posts: 870 - 19/07/2022 11:53:56 2432901 Link

The whole thing does not look promising for Meath going forward if the man in question is the only worthwhile candidate. kingofclubs (Meath) - Posts: 321 - 19/07/2022 12:48:21 2432916 Link

If there's no announcement by Friday, I'll do it myself. Fed up waiting on news at this stage. Can't be that hard. Throw out a lock of cones and run the s*t out if them then throw jerseys at them of a Sunday and send them out to hop off a few lads. Don't see what all the drama is about.

Bunch of whingers on this forum" Seriously anyone using the Sean Boylan example as an argument for a completely unqualified manager to get the Meath job need to give their head a wobble. That was almost 40 years ago. The game has changed massively since then so it cannot be used as an example. Whoever gets it I'm sure we'll all get behind but that doesn't mean we can't voice our opinion that someone with pretty much zero managerial experience should not be getting the job.

I don't care if Flynn gets the job. As for this nonsense about the game moving on, so what. Meath where the fittest team in their time under Boylan. I am not saying jettison somebody in who has been training a junior C set up. Jack O Connor went to Kildare and they didn't exactly pull up trees under him. Outsiders are always out for themselves atta (Meath) - Posts: 698 - 20/07/2022 14:28:59 2433146 Link

So every single outside manager in the history of GAA has been out for himself?? The irony of you calling some comments nonsense and then coming out with that.

I'll join the back room team. My info has totally dried up. Not a sausage. It would appear that there is more people who wouldn't go near the job than wants it. Apparently (and this is just my detective bit) even those who went for interviews have since asked not to be considered royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 20/07/2022 15:21:59 2433169 Link

Replying To royaldunne: "Anyone approached bonner ?" I hope your referring to packie.... Maybe as a gk coach. Otherwise I'm back in contention for it... DB wouldn't be an option for me at all Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6344 - 20/07/2022 15:56:56 2433185 Link

Has it come to the stage that our county is not good enuf or beneath some these coaches. If they are willing then by all means give them chance flying included.if the man is shown he's passionate and willing to do the work and put in place a team and set up that is conducive to inter County football.ket him at it.has to be better than wot was gone on last few years. We have good young lads coming thru the underage will it be work in progress of course it will.but I'm sick hearing who would want it.id say lot of men in County with maybe not lot of success under there belt.but would organise players get top coaches and fitness men.physios food linguistics all that goes and involved in these environments.
