Should Paul Grimley be worried?

The Armagh GAA twitter account has been busy retweeting calls for Kieran McGeeney to 'come home' - should Paul Grimley be worried?

The 2002 All-Ireland winning captain would obviously be a popular choice with the Armagh fans to take over the reins of his native county.

This tweet from Paul Hagan gives a flavour of the reaction to Geezer's removal from the Kildare hot-seat: 'McGeeney & McNulty both free agents now! Time to come home!! Grimley, McGeeney & McNulty what a management team that would be!! @Armagh_GAA'.

While we accept that a retweet is not necessarily an endorsement of a particular point of view, it is odd to see the official Armagh GAA account retweeting similar sentiments considering that Grimley was recently given the green light to continue as Orchard County manager for a second year.

It's not exactly a vote of confidence in the current incumbent and his backroom team.

Geezer is out of Kildare. I think this is @Armagh_GAA's opportunity to get one of the best managers in Ireland! #InGeezerWeTrust @chezzers13
