Correct - repeated there in 2003/2004 his uncle is mr Kavanagh won all Ireland’s with kk and selector on Harty cup winning teams.

Some fairly uninformed people on this forum.

That’s a bit rich coming from the biggest spoofer and waffler of all time. I don’t know what’s worse, the rubbish you talk or the fact that you’re willing to put your name to it. I was going to say you should go back to discussing horses but you’re even more clueless about that than hurling.

Says the lad with 1200+ posts anonymously on this message board!

3 times less then me in approx same time - so who takes more sihte? :rolleyes:

Have a drop of oil. Mate.

What’s wrong with being anonymous? Is that not the whole point of Internet forums or are we all meant to call out fellas like Big John Joe Joyce and dish out our phone numbers? Did you actually get one phonecall from anyone to debate with? I doubt you did, posting your number was one of the most childish things I’ve ever seen.

You’re a moron on twitter and you aren’t any better on here. Mate.

Leave Saturdayman alone.
Did a great job with the minor footballers this year. Walking out on them after a few months.
Deisefacts will be on in a while to back that up.
And yet thinks it's ok to come on here and on Twitter and criticize others.

It’s better your getting. Lol

A couple of these lads are actually well known around the place, surprised to see them engaging in this type of gutter stuff.

If this is the standard of supporter/volunteer in Waterford GAA, is it any wonder the county is a laughing stock.

Well said! Think the long summer is getting people twitchy.

Still got the ladies football going!

Just to break up the pillow talk if nothing else, what or whom would people’s choices be as the new management set up?
Bonnar, Dan, Queally

Eddie Brennan, Dan, Paul Flynn

Colm Bonnar, Andy Maloney, James O Connor

Just suggestions so let’s be having ye?!!

Id go for an outsider with 0 connections to any Waterford club but not having €€€ will go against us on that front. Have a strong backroom team with some infucienucal names eg Dan, Ken, Paul Flynn etc. Shefflin or Dj Carey my pick but very doubtful they would want this gig esp if the Kilkenny job might be free soon

Dont think Colm Bonnar would be a good choice imo. Not that hes a bad manager i just dont think he would get the best out of these current Waterford players and may be more suited to lower level sides like Scully Ryan. If he gets the job than far play to him and i hope the players respect him

Derek coming back would not the worst thing but does he want it back this early ???

Sean Power would be the natural succesor esp with his underage record but is he actually good enough for senior

Fergal Hartley, Peter Quelly, John Mullane as number 1s ??. nah would not appeal to me and would be better in background teams

This is a crucial appointment and the players need to be consulted and put everything into this new management team. Respect was lost half way through Fannings reign but only those involved know the full story. Noone who had any decison in last years appointment should be in charge for this appointment

Saturday man and stopitwillya are going to have to kiss and make-up. That was woeful commentary yesterday!
I think even everyday posters here are stunned by the bitterness of the posts. Surely better than that and accept everyone has the right to an opinion without getting personal!

We’re surely better than that lads & lassies

He's right

Not giving the job to Sean Power last year was a big mistake. It was perfect timing for him coming out of the u21s and the feelgood factor was still around that group. To give it to his clubmate Fanning instead was a big 2 fingers to Power and if I very much doubt he would have done any worse than Fanning did as it turned out. It’s probably 2 late for him now as he would not be able to get the momentum back with that group given what has happened in the past year. When you see the success of J Kiely in Limerick you’d have to ask the question why did the co board not even consider him

Will ya ever **** off. ridiculous post

Don't you just love a good balanced debate

It's hard to argue with a poster of such intelligence in fairness!

If Sean Power genuinely wanted the job, or was suitable for the job, he'd have gone off and cut his teeth at senior level. That could have been in a good senior club side, or in another county setup.

To my knowledge he hasn't done that, and until he does he shouldn't come into consideration.

John Kiely by the way had prior experience at senior intercounty level, both as a coach and as a player, before taking the Limerick role.

I don't know Derek McGrath had somewhat of a successful stint with Waterford and all he had a senior level was his time at DLS. Other then that he had the harty cup.

I would leave lack of experience get in the way of things.

By a somewhat successful stint you're referring to winning a county senior title by 12 points?

No I meant a successful stint with waterford after just one stint as a senior club manager. I'm not taking away from his stint with DLS.

I'm just making the point would his Waterford spell have been any different without that one year as senior manager with DLS?

Just because Sean Power hasn't had a senior stint, I don't think that is enough to say he shouldn't get the job.

Waterford have won 7 all Irelands at minor, u21 and senior and Sean Power has managed two of them.

The first minor since 1948. We're not blessed to have too many All Ireland winners in Waterford so why not take a punt on someone who has won 2 of the 7?

Yes we can argue the step up is massive and that Sean had a very talented panel of players, the majority of those players have come through so that talented group is there, so what do we have to lose?

Thats all of course if he wanted the job.

Well yes, I think managing men and boys is rather different. I also think the game at senior and juvenile level is different.

You had one manager who had a continuous progression in his development and made the next step up. We have another here who seemingly hasn't made any progression in his development in recent years - he has a major gap in his CV and would be stepping up a couple of levels.

Again, I think if this guy wants the job, or could be considered suitable for it in the future, he should be taking on a big senior side or trying to get into the coaching team of an intercounty side.

Is he not with Dunhill now?

All the manages that we have had since 1959 may have had some previous senior management experience at senior level, club or county and we have still yet to win an All Ireland so is it really that important?
