Replying To AuldGussie:  "BREAKING: Kieran Donnelly steps down as Fermanagh boss! So, the search starts for a successor.

Fair play to coa_gael for giving us the heads-up earlier and so much for macca999's assessment that Donnelly was staying!"
He should have stepped down in 2024 after the shambolic end of that season. On the positive, new beginnings may be exactly what Fermanagh needs going forward. Good to the new successor. Also, good man coagael for keeping us abreast of the inside going ons.

Yes coa_gael has the finger on pulse, as always, and unlike that macca guy... enough said about the latter. Anyway, I don't see Kieran's departure as a shock but just puzzling that it took so long for him to realise that the players or at least a sizeable proportion of them thought that a fresh management team would be better placed to develop and advance team to a level they deserved. Let's not forget that the players pour a lot of their time and effort in with little reimbursement and still having to earn a living or further their education. Whoever takes over will have a wealth of young players to work with and hopefully the future of the team flourishes in the seasons ahead.
