I hope it works out for Mr Joyce. But given his past performance. It will be unlikely. Connacht football tend to do the "Big time Charlie" thing. Whereby some players and managers are untouchable.

Since you posted that a full work week has past by without any announcement?!

Replying To jm25:  "I used to see PJ taking council from cian oneill on sideline so not sure why you bring up him.

Again like others you have no idea what feedback or advice Joyce is or isn't taking from his back room team"
PJ didn't listen to CON in games too often, certainly not in any key championship games where CON had to take up position well away from PJ, effectively down with the backs, rather than shoulder to shoulder working together in-game like CON visibly was so successfully with Jack O'Connor this year. Jack is old enough and wise enough to know you need a very smart, tactically astute sounding board alongside you - and one that doesn't need to be a yes man but rather to tell you what might be needed at key points in a game. In Kerry, you're not allowed to be an unchallenged ego, you have to listen and work with lads just as good if not better than you. PJs in-game management needs improvement and really listening to a Donaghy or whoever comes in will be critical this year.
