Yeah see this is it. Everyone's situation is different. There are probably lots of really good, qualified people with a genuine interest in Donegal GAA. But due to their day job, family commitments, club commitments etc they aren't able to put themselves forward. Lots of people would like to see a few of the current members go, but in fairness to them, and noone can dispute this - they have given up a lot of their time to Donegal GAA. It's very easy to take up the pitchfork and have all the answers, I'm as guilty of this as anyone here on an anonymous online GAA forum. But if we're serious about change, and others have mentioned this already, it's down to club members to attend their club's meetings and initiate the change from there.

I think most rational people would agree with this point. I am as guilty as the rest at pointing the finger of blame at a number of our county board officials who have been linked to a number of complete failures at this stage, yet they remain in post and clearly have been there far too long. BUT, who will take their place? They know that there are not people queueing up for these jobs so they know they can muddle along in their own incompetent way, unquestioned and undisturbed, bouncing from one disaster to another. I believe the Academy debacle saw blame on all sides but the appointment of our senior set up was a complete and utter shambles. Bottom line in all of this sorry mess is that unless the clubs step up and demand change and put a plan in place for this change then the status quo will go on.. and on, and on. Over to you club delegates! PeterQ92 (Donegal) - Posts: 154 - 28/06/2023 13:12:30 2490413 Link 0 |

Wouldn't be a fan of him at all and alot of Galway people were glad to see him go. Galway played Leitrim in the connacht championship a number of years ago when Walsh was managing, they had 15 men behind the ball....playing Leitrim ffs!!! A very negative coach...

Our County board have got away scot free. I hope the clubs and the club delegates are ready for them at the next meeting. ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 748 - 28/06/2023 18:00:48 2490493 Link 0 |

Is the vote of no confidence by the clubs still in the pipeline. AudiMan (Donegal) - Posts: 683 - 29/06/2023 13:31:00 2490627 Link 0 |

As far as i am aware, both Milford & 4 Masters motions were left with the Board to be reviewed after the GAA Review was carried out. So they are still on the Agenda as neither were withdrawn or put to the floor as yet.....

Like RTÉ, Donegal County board has a rotten culture and no more than a boys club looking after themselves. Really hope the delegates get rid of them all. ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 748 - 29/06/2023 14:17:35 2490639 Link 1 |

Hopefully it is, but like the meandering cp report which was a whitewash, nor holding my breath

It has been essentially an extension of one political party, the same one that brought the country to its knees in 2009/10. They have form for exploiting and then leaving a mess behind.

County board has a lot to answer for. Take out the 4 years of Jim's we have reached 1 semi in 2003 in 30 years. No ambition for us to dine at the top table at all. Now up to the clubs to change this culture and get pride back in our teams. Like of monaghan would put us to shame. From speaking to monaghan people it's because they have genuine football people on board that is keeping them competing at the top. They have half the senior clubs we have. Over to you club delegates. We seen about 6,000 dgl supporters in ballybofey on sat past. Is that not alarming enough as to where gaa is going in the county.

How can the people who made such a mess of getting the last manager for the senior team be left in charge of getting the next one. No serious managers are going to touch the job with the mess that is behind the scenes greenfan (Donegal) - Posts: 624 - 30/06/2023 10:00:45 2490781 Link 1 |

Nothing to lose now and there's no time like the present. Which club will be the first to announce they're raising/backing a motion of no confidence in the board SurelyToGod (Donegal) - Posts: 452 - 30/06/2023 11:57:25 2490825 Link 1 |

Well it appears the CB are pressing on with seeking an appointment for Senior Manager. Seeking expressions of interest by the 21 July on the website. JUNIOR_B_SUB (Donegal) - Posts: 27 - 30/06/2023 13:25:13 2490844 Link 0 |

If there is a bit of no confidence you won't have a manager in place until September at the earliest. Maybe that's still preferable though to the current situation. I can't think it would be wise to apply for the job at the current time with so much uncertainty. The next Co Committee meeting will determine te make up of the selection panel but I think CP will have into it. SignTheContract (Donegal) - Posts: 197 - 30/06/2023 13:59:32 2490849 Link 0 |

I think its just a publicity stunt from the County board trying to look like they're being pro-active. In reality, no top level managers are going to touch this until the shambles at county board level is sorted out.

No top level manager will approach. You are correct. Some awful ones will. They will be appointed because the county board want this done quickly to brush one less thing under the carpet.

Top level managers.Who are they.Was McGuinness a top level manager when he took over first.Most people want a home manager and none of them will be a so called top level manager but like McGuinness they could become one but you just don't know.People complaining about the process being too quick this time were no doubt complaining about how long it took the last time. gunman (Donegal) - Posts: 1144 - 01/07/2023 11:43:00 2490968 Link 0 |

Of course people are complaining about the process. There is an ongoing vote of no confidence in this executive from clubs still waiting to be addressed so you would hardly want the same lads involved in the selection process this time around?

That's it. Last summer they took an absolute age to appoint a new manager and made a total hash of things nonetheless. So the fact they're rushing ahead now is hardly anything to celebrate given their own very questionable leadership mandate through these months. These lads will really need to be hoisted kicking and screaming it seems. No self awareness.
