Same with management. Most of the ground work was done for him in Waterford and came at a time when they need to a refresh. Won Munster in 2010 but the whole thing fell apart soon after. Had a great set of players in Clare when he took over and didn't do half as much a he should have. But that's overlooked becaue of the 2013 All-Ireland win, again as it turned out was somewhat lucky. Things are going ok with Wexford at the moment but it's only a matter of time before he jumps ship there as well and more than likely one last big pay day with Dublin.

He's the only intercounty manager I know of who had two tv shows airing at the same time, Ireland's Fittest Family and that other yoke where he was roaring at a few troubled young lads. He also had that other show not too long ago with the blind young lad, allowing cameras into the Wexford camp, around the same time he appeared on Living with Lucy, where again he allowed a tv crew around the camp. Other county teams aren't allowed to train on the same night as the hurlers at the Centre of Excellence if Davy says so, yet tv cameras are allowed in if he has a tv show to produce. When Wexford got to their first Leinster final under him, he had strict time-limits on reporters for the designated media night, and basically bullied me to finish my interview with one of the players abruptly when it ran slightly behind time, through no fault of my own. The little bollix was roaring at the player from behind me to hurry up when I was mid-question. No other county manager has such a profile in the media. I have never even seen John Kiely speak aside from match-days, or feature on anything non-GAA related, unless Limerick have won the AI. Same goes for every other manager who have actually won All-Ireland's with his side. I dare say there is a large amount of people who only know Davy as a 'tv personality'. He has also spent the last two days taking part in Wexford's Fittest Schools, an off-shoot of the TV show. Well I say taking part, roaring at the competitors in front of the camera more like. This despite having an important league game against KK today, and in the aftermath of the Covid controversy. He has done a good job at Wexford on the whole, but he is a grade-A tosser.

It has moved up a few notches in the hate stakes. It represents how awful a site Boards has become.
