So you reckon it had NOTHING to do with Banty and ALL to do with the players? It’s a bit of both to be fair don’t ye think. If your managing a team and they get relegated in the league, the manager must take responsibility for that. He had the bottle to blood some young players this year and he must be applauded for that.
But a young hungry manager, preferably from within the county, should be brought in and given a 3/4 years to get us back on track.

nothing to do with Banty or the players – a lot to do with the suits in the county board who have run GAA into the ground in meath

i’d say it was nothing to do with regulation (although obviously it didn’t help), it was more to do with the obsession the county board have with having a native meath manager. They dont want these foreigners coming in telling us how to play football – they might learn something. They even think they can do a kenny daglish, kevin keegan and bring back sean boylan to lead meath to success ( course kenny and kevin weren’t too successful second time out).

No obsession, sure didn’t they hire him in the first place??
He said he would need another 3 years to develop the team and at cost of 100k a year ‘expenses’ that wouldn’t be worth it.
Meath need to build, we’re nowhere near competing right now, so get a young forward thinking manager and give him time to bring us forward.

Jinxed? Ha, whats Louth’s excuse so?

I don’t think so plenty of young capable players were introduced in 2012 and so far this year I haven’t seen anything like a master class from the Dubs

Meath are a fine footballing county and will be back. Might be a few years off catching the top two or three though.

Your point being????

Even as a fellow dub, i think you sound like a muppet
