Anthony Daly

Is anyone else getting a bit fed up waiting for a man who should probably be begging Dublin to stay in the position to decide whether he wants to grace us with his presence again next year.

The more I think about it the less I'm interested in having him back. He threw all his eggs in one basket this year and it was a disaster.

What's his plan for next year if he deigns to lower himself to come back to us?

After this year one would certainly wonder if the whole set up has gone stale. What do the players think? Are they in favour of him staying on? If the players are backing him then thats a very important thing to consider.
All right, he had a bad year but up to this year the whole thing was going great guns.

premierstone

He is staying, he is just trying to put together a new backroom team at the moment and is waiting on them to confirm their availability before making the announcement, what's the big rush anyway?

Giving the Dubs time to raise a few bob to pay him I would imagine.

Seriously though (there are of course no payments to managers in the GAA)
he is a good manager. Dublin did very well with him last year but I think winning a league may be as good as it gets for this side.

Don't have the quality at the moment need some players coming through which they would seem to have in the next few years.

Clareman

As premierstone has said, he is staying on board but if looking to get some new people to join the back room team, which is the proper thing to do in my opinion, his contract isn't up either until the end of the inter-county championship so there's no rush in him announcing anything.

I would imagine he is staying put by this stage alright. If he was going he should have said so sooner and give anyone interested a chance to throw their hat in the ring and get their back room team sorted. What stage is the championship at in Dublin now?

Quarter Finals.

I know a few changes have been asked of him which is why I am curious. Money won't be as readily available apparently and he does have to take on a new selector.

But why not just say you're in and have done with it?

Is this not all a bit harsh on the manager solely responsible for making Dublin much more competitive? The work in the schools has been massive, but Daly has had serious input into the senior setup performing at a consistently high standard the last few years. Dublin should be begging him to stay on I would have thought, not the other way round.

He certainly brought them on but it failed badly this season. It could be argued its gone a bit stale and in need of a new voice and fresh impetus. For that to happen a decision would surely have been made now by either side.
It all points to Daly staying on for another year.

Its a catch 22 situation really. If he stays, lads will say he is staying too long & it will go stale.

Leave him go, and it could set the team back 4 years unless a serious replacement was found. A serious replacement for Daly would im guessing cost just as much as they are paying now.

Give the gym a rest, concentrate on the ball and Dublin will have a serious say in Leinster again next year.

Get rid of Daly and bring in who?

There isn't exactly a queue of top class inter county managers waiting to take the job.

Mistakes were made this year. Show me a manager that hasn't had made mistakes. Unfortunately I don't believe that Dublin's panel this year is in the top six in the country in terms of raw talent.

Spot on, that is the point that is regularly missed. Do they have the raw talent within the squad?

In years to come i think they will, but time will only tell.

Precisely the reason why Daly should stay, theres not much better around to bring in to the job in all fairness.

Daly should go. i mean a real manager would have won a few all irelands with dublin by now dub 2 wouldnt they.

Believe me the guy who has been lined up to replace him eventually will please you all, but yes I'd imagine it will be very expensive.
