Replying To Sligonian: "Id expect an announcement on McEntee soon. The CB want him back for sure. It will be his call. He maybe looking for multiple years extension too.
Armagh CB will have sounded McEntee out. There was a sign outside McGeeney's house last year wanting him to resign and "Tony Mac In" painted on to it. Id say that's not there anymore.
McEntee may wait until after the AI to see if McGeeney will call it a day, win or lose he's been there a long time and may want a break.
We need to be mindful either way, McEntee may have reached his ceiling, his loyalty to some players who aren't the best could curtail us so don't expect any ruthlessness, and also if we do have to replace him, its needs to be a improvement. McEntee leaving doesn't mean things will be better or guarantee success but Id have high hopes for the likes of a McGowan.
Personally I'd still move on from McEntee but I'd be ok with a 1 year commitment max, a multi year commitment would be very disappointing. They made some pretty big mistakes on the line against Down and game management late on is still poor in big games.
Congrats to Keelan Cawley on his Sligo career, absolute warrior who put his body on the line for us, the right time and decision to retire. He soldiered for us through a lot of tough years, a pity to not have won Connacht in his early years. He always brought a great energy and intensity to the hb/hf role. Thanks for all the commitment over the years." Back to the big mistakes on the line against Down, what exactly were they? We were well on top until Mullen was sent off. You can't say we wouldn't have pushed on and won the game with 15 on the pitch. You're being very unfair but that's been the case for 3 or 4 years now.

Who has he been too loyal to? I haven't seen too many knocking on the door.
What "pretty big" mistakes did they make on the line versus Down?
The grass is always greener and maybe you'll be proven right, but I can't see the evidence to suggest that we shouldn't be looking to keep him for another couple of years if he wanted to. I think you should be changing management teams when you are sure a cycle of improvement is over. Are you sure it is? Maybe." McLoughlin could have been taken off earlier to be fair

If we had to be critical, Down used their bench a lot more than Sligo, we had some players that went down with cramp and were not replaced. Down took off some key players and brought them back in extra time.
Some of the subs we did bring on, offered very little but is that the management fault ? probably not but they had them on the match day squad, some of us knew they would offer little before the ball was thrown in to be honest.
Nathan was very unlucky to be sent off but it was a game changer.
Now the big question, would I like to see McEntee? At the start of the year I was hoping it would be his last year but after such a strong year, I would not be against him staying for one more year.
Everyone is talking about one more year, are we going to win a Connacht title next year - No. The flip side is we could be in the shake up for an TC again but it would be difficult for him to walk away after winning it and progressing to All Ireland series for 2026. It would also be difficult for county board to replace him if he was successful.
If I was to give my honest opinion, I would prefer to see a new management team with a 4 year project . Some players on the squad to be replaced with some of the underage talent we have seen the last 3 years and develop these players to be in contention for Connacht titles in 2 -3 years.
Everyone is comparing our situation to Kieran McGeeney, where was given one more year. In fairness - McGeeney was an Ireland winning captain from Armagh and very difficult to get rid of one of your greats. Plus Armagh's record under McGeeney is not to bad. We had a similar situation with one of our former players that went to management and record at under age was very poor and then got senior job but walked before he was pushed which was nice.
If you asked the Sligo players, the majority would all want the current manager to stay but if you were too look at this generally some fresh management would probably be welcomed by the younger members.
Joe Keane was there with Taylor for two years and McGuire was there earlier as well. In fairness to McGuire - Huge admiration towards him but it is time consuming and believe he has a young family as well.
My biggest complaint about this current management is they are too loyal to players and usually the same 19-20 players that are used.
On a positive, great to see some good conversations on this forum again.

All he wants is the dream team of Mc Gowan and Currid with Joe Keaney in midfield.

I didn't see any player this year that really really deserved it. I think Deignan and Lavin forced his hand a good few times this year and that's the way it should be. It's not about picking lads because they done well at Under 20, it's about picking lads because they are doing well in the moment. Training well, fighting hard for spots.
If I'm completely honest, a lot of the members of our Under 20s finalists last year have been a little disappointing at club level in the past 12 months and don't stand out as county players (YET!). You can't just blood them all together or ye would be given out when we're relegated from Division 3. It's a balancing act.

Some of those lads that excelled at U.20 will never make the step up. I would like MC Entee to remain as manager. I was sceptical of MC Loughlin replacing MC Fadden but he has probably improved things in the forward department. If changes to the backroom are required then that's the job of the manager.

My biggest worry is if, as someone state above, that Carrabine maybe stepping away for a while, and Murphy being a year older, that we don't have the calibre of forward coming through from the Under 20 ranks. I mean a really top scoring forward that can make it at intercounty level. A fine Under 20 team and some really good players that will eventually find their way through, but I never saw too many top forwards and can see our front line becoming an issue when Murphy is gone. Hopefully Carrabine isn't going anywhere, McLoughlin keeps improving after a good year, and Reilly comes back in the fold to take the pressure off a bit.
In terms of McEntee, if he wanted to stay for another two years, I'd jump at it. As you say, he'll make neccessary change to his backroom team. If he's popular among the majority of players, that's usually an indication that things are moving in the right direction. It won't always be perfect and there will be lows no matter who manages this team.

Well last nights games have solved a few things for some clubs. Tubber are gone along with Calry and it'll be Tourlestrane and Molaise in final. While Division 2 final resolved itself when Easkey didn't beat Ballymote at the other end Bunninadden are now safe so the pressure will be off when they play their neighbours Ballymote who still can be relegated along with Castleconnor and Farnans. Looking at the final round of fixtures with the opposition of those three clubs having nothing to play for, I wouldn't be surprised if all three won and the table remains the same. Would Easkey and Bunninadden put their neighbours to the sword?

No way will the Bunnies even attempt to beat Ballymote. Geevagh need to get a point against Pat's in case both of the bottom teams win. Molaise got their first beating and significantly it was Coolera that gave it to them. They appear to have the measure of the Grange outfit. All in all the leagues have been poor. Here's hoping for a better championship

Anyone know when Tubber were last relegated? Interesting senior final, the team of the decade everyone believes are on the way down V the team on the way up that many feel will be dominant in the years ahead.

Could stand to be corrected but think Tubbercurry were relegated in 2010 and then won promotion in 2012 when they got to the county final and won the championship in 2013. They have been very unlucky with injuries this year, they wont be in Div 2 for long as they have some nice young players coming up.
Interesting results at the weekend - Coolera always seem to be able to get over Molaise , including the big one last year. Will be an interesting final v Tourlestrane.
Result of the day has to go to the Bunnies who got a big result versus an unbeaten Enniscrone. There are 4 teams that can down in the last game but looks like a shoot out between Ballymote and Castleconnor. Ballymote's last game is a no gimme for them to be honest, them games when one team has nothing to play for and the other has everything - take a life of their own and pressure is a funny thing.

Apologies Tubbercurry lost south Sligo final in 2013 to Tourlestrane and won county final in 2014 V St Marys.
They were promoted to Div one in 2013.
All ready looking forward to 2025 - Tubbercurry v Cloonacool.
From games I have seen so far , Tourlestrane, Coolera, Molaise , Sham Gaels (Recent run) , Marys , cannot see anyone else winning senior , have not seen much of Drulcliff but they will be in the mix.
Intermediate will be between Harps and Coolaney/Mullinabreena . Harps seem to be well ahead ahead of everyone at this grade.

I am not too concerned with the loss to Coolera. It was horrendous weather and they are more physical than us. We were winning our matches but not playing particularly well in recent weeks and sometimes being unbeaten can bring its own pressure. Coolera with the easier group will have targeted this match. It was great to hear that Luke Towey was back in the second half and flying up and down the pitch. Fair play to him coming back so quickly and in great shape by all accounts. Also great to hear Joe Keaney being the best player on the field. I wouldn't read into our remaining games too much with the final guaranteed and in the tougher side of the draw. We certainly aren't at our peak yet.
On to McEntee, some good debate, it is simple for the players coming through know it will be tough to break into the Sligo team and squad and it will be hard earned. For me I wish some of the players who I believe are weak links would have to play better and earn it as much but that is not the end of the world. Sligo seniors are progressing and the young lads will have dig deep to break through McEntee/Keane's favouritism and conservatism. I wish the player pathway was clearer. Is it 1 fbd game or training in January when you are flat out with college team. His conservatism was event with making his first sub at 66min mark against Down with 14 men. Most managers with the new rule should have recognized the chance to win was in normal time and tried to freshen it up earlier. I don't agree with Shane Deignan and Daire O Boyle not making the squad and I certainly don't agree with putting Cummins on Havern 1st half. They did change that but its a mistake most managers would not make. Also the role of Kilcoyne needs to be looked at. I don't agree on the step up from u20 to senior at div3/4 level being that large. Some u20s will regress, some will kick on. The elites like Canice can do it in months but the mid range players will take longer. We all accept that it depends on the player and his physicality and conditioning etc but I don't think it serves any player to sit out 2 or 3 years with little gametime. the step up can be used as a excuse to not to give players a fair chance and keep your loyality to your favourites. I absolutely believe that there are some case's here but that will only last so long. As Sligo progress some of McEntee's favorites will get exposed more often or we will just stagnate. Mid level Division 3 is not that great of a achievement. Under McEntee we have started the league very poorly and that needs to change along with closing out games against bigger teams. Both Galway and Down 1 point up we should have closed them out better. As I said before like realsouthsligo I'd prefer a new management with 3 year plan put in place to develop the squad and starting 15 alot quicker into a Connacht title contending team but I'd accept a 1 year extension for McEntee. Anything longer would be a mistake because I believe this maybe McEntee's ceiling with us. Why do I believe that? Its because he is getting the best out of some players that have a low ceiling and they may regress and I could see him being slow to see this. He is a decent manager but far from perfect. This is all open to debate if you don't have an agenda.

I agree they should also get rid of McEntee due to a random hypothetical situation that I will just make up and think he also may be slow to react to this random hypothetical situation

We all accept that it depends on the player and his physicality and conditioning etc but I don't think it serves any player to sit out 2 or 3 years with little gametime. the step up can be used as a excuse to not to give players a fair chance and keep your loyality to your favourites. I absolutely believe that there are some case's here but that will only last so long. As Sligo progress some of McEntee's favorites will get exposed more often or we will just stagnate. Mid level Division 3 is not that great of a achievement. Under McEntee we have started the league very poorly and that needs to change along with closing out games against bigger teams. Both Galway and Down 1 point up we should have closed them out better. As I said before like realsouthsligo I'd prefer a new management with 3 year plan put in place to develop the squad and starting 15 alot quicker into a Connacht title contending team but I'd accept a 1 year extension for McEntee. Anything longer would be a mistake because I believe this maybe McEntee's ceiling with us. Why do I believe that? Its because he is getting the best out of some players that have a low ceiling and they may regress and I could see him being slow to see this. He is a decent manager but far from perfect. This is all open to debate if you don't have an agenda." You are the person with the agenda. You are always dropping Joe into it, even last weekend's game you mentioned him as the best player on the pitch even though it was a meaningless game. You don't even attend games, you rely on friends !!

Replying To muscles: "I agree they should also get rid of McEntee due to a random hypothetical situation that I will just make up and think he also may be slow to react to this random hypothetical situation" Muscles, are you interested in debate or not. Whether you are fan of McEntee or not, both sides are all speculating what the future brings and the decision now on management either way will decide our next few years.
So much still has to happen for us to win another Connacht at Senior level. Why do McEntee supporters think he is the right man to push us on? Why do think he's best placed to bring through the next batch of u20s? What do you predict will happen if we keep him? Is he developing the team fast enough? Do you agree with his team/squad selections, tactics, decision making on the line?
I know there are a lot of agendas in Sligo Football but one of life's great mysteries is the hold McEntee has over some of ye. I've never seen anything like it from achieving so little.
