You don't go around giving him public deadlines, at a time when an awful lot of potential candidates are caught up in Club Championship. You don't go having a meeting, to have a meeting, to interview his backroom team. The book should stop with the manager. If you trust them to be manager, then let them manage. It's clear from Horan's quotes that he feels the County Board don't operate this way. Connolly wants to have far too much influence and attention.
