I believe he was also speaking with one or 2 more clubs which would suggest he's sought after as opposed to lucky. As someone else mentioned the Tones were sure they had him until he opted for Boden late on leaving them needing to act quickly. I think he's like any of us and has a strong passion for the game as opposed to being a "shouter"

He was involved with Dit Sigerson team the past couple of years also.. Tones,Dunboyne, Bective, Colmcilles, Boden, he obviously has is well regarded and the luck comment was a joke, again his style of football isnt for me but it seems to be attractive to somebody!

Are you really saying that players would be worried about what way a manager voted in a referendum?

Yeah that's a mad comment. Players couldn't care less what way he voted. Perhaps maybe 1 or 2 of them would have an opinion on but 99% wouldn't.

Ok didn't pick up on the sarcasm there SouthMeathgaa. What's a little concerning is the choice he made away from the Meath Clubs. It seems he had plenty after him however he still chose a Dublin outfit? Would they have been more financially rewarding to him or would he be on the hunt for winning championships? I know the Tones were very disappointed as it was so late but they had a pool of others to choose from so all was not lost for them, I'm not sure about the other clubs but Dunboyne haven't done too bad despite missing out on him??

I dont know him, I know a couple of lads that he used to work with, Boden wasn't financial more that the opportunity to manage a team like that is what he said, he's from Dublin was living there and has a very young family.. I'm sure a few of them clubs would be happy to have him now with how they finished

Any one any idea about manager vacancy's in the intermediate grade? There are a few potentially promising jobs such as oldcastle, Syddan and dunderry if they are looking for new mangers? Those clubs with the right manager and structure would be well able to win the championship in my opinion with a good manger they all have different qualities throughout there teams

What you mean by that, Dunboyne won a Senior, Cilles won an Intermediate??

What happened the manager in Walterstown. Seems to have parted the scene fairly sharpish. Was he pushed or did he leave. Fair few hawks in that club now.

Don't think Syddan have what it takes to win a championship but if Oldcastle and Dunderry got a good manager in and could have their best players playing they would have a great chance.

I see Wolfe Tones have appointed Michael McDermott from Cavan, seems to have an impressive record. It should be interesting to see what he can do with them.

You could be right, I'm sure Tones who finished up surviving in the senior grade this year are still rueing their missed opportunity no doubt. I don't know him either but from what you say he's made the choice with strong considerations for his family life and that's to be commended. The Tones search for a new man is underway with Tony Kearney heading to Moynalty so it'll be interesting to see who they appoint?? They could do worse than bring John Tiernan "home" with no disrespect to Castletown of course.

Cilles already won the intermediate that year, gone backwards with all the talent since if you ask me.. Dunboyne won a championship bar them would any other club say they have got a manager in that has made any difference? Dunboyne on the lookout again, Tones nearly relegated, Bective stalled, Cilles struggled this year, Dunboyne out in the group stage for all the talent they have..

Agree, I have been a long time reader here and Its something that gets at me is the sh*te some people talk without actually backing it up.. Ratoath being a perfect example..the amount of lads on here that said they would never win and look at them now.. Ash/Cilles same I'd imagine winning a championship isn't exactly an easy thing to do..some of the things said about a fella nobody bar Curraha lads would know he left them in a decent place and they have gone on to build on that maybe that's what clubs see and want..

Michael McDermott is a great coup for the Tones, Brought Kilmurry to an AI Club final and
is highly rated manager If he can get everyone to commit they will be thereabouts
Is he living in nearby?

Johnny McGee (Kilmacud Crokes, ex Wicklow ) is to take the Ashbourne Job and lives in the area
Will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience

I think it would be fair to say that Davy Byrne has made a difference to Ratoath!

exactly, so getting the right person in helps which is probably what these clubs see or think about when they are going after him that he would do something similar to what was done with Curraha or what Davy Byrne has done with Ratoath for a 2nd time

Yeah I'd agree Syddan don't seem to have what it takes at the minute to win a championship but from watching games over the past few years I'd say Syddan are a better job than dunderry for example with the squad profile of a youthful team with very few players over 27. I know Syddan and Walterstown are on the look out for new managers is that the case with oldcastle and dunderry does anyone know?

Yeah great coup for the tones getting McDermott they have a strong team what could do something in the championship if they get there injured players back fully fit and ready to go as they have some talented forward like the wards and Saran while having Callaghan, dan o neill, Glynn, Harrington futher out the field

Rusty a good manager but not a GREAT one, don't forget he was at Nobber for 3 years, the season he left they won the championship.

Think he was only there for 2 years. Who's to say the work he did over the previous 2 years did not contribute to them winning the championship in some way? Have you an issue with him? You seem to go out of your way to comment every time he is mentioned? Did he turn down the Bracks or something!!??

Don't agree. Tones are over the hill with that side . Wards all getting on and they are very predictable if ye ask me. Can't see them winning or getting close to a championship, new manager or not
