    not the most exciting stuff from this woman Santas, a lot of us have walked this walk. Its called The Book of Life.

    I felt there was a bit of a "forced emotional part". Lots of lengthy silences for no reason.

    I enjoyed it, given poor financial info in schools. Where are people supposed to learn about money management?

    Ugh this bean bag of a man.

    It would be great if Tommy asked him how much Wexford paid him!

    Davy the mouthpiece bully - tv off



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,688 ✭✭✭dirkmeister


    Ask him about Brian Lohan

    Davy and Lee Chin bought a restaurant in Wexford. Davy is making a fortune.

    Enjoyed the santis interview, all to real



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,235 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    Davy is a poor manager. All he does is run the arse out of the players. After a couple years they burnout and collapse, just like Jim McGuinness.

    I’m out.

    A fraud of a manager

    People think GAA lads do it for the love of it. I learned something from a couple of people I know who would know exactly what the story is.

    I was told trainers of intermediate teams can get 100 euro plus per training session.

    Another lad I know was on the Roscommon panel when Kevin McStay was manager. Kevin was in the army and has a big pension. Kevin wanted to take the team for a bonding session but the board couldn't get the funds right away. Kevin brought the whole team to a 5 star hotel for a weekend out of his own pocket.

    The team had an entertainment manager. The board would pay for the squad to go on holidays and premier league games.

    The managers get great benefits and money. Brand new car from sponsors. There's big money in it for the managers, even for the small counties.

    Have a look at the increase in costs Wexford spent when Davy took over...

    Well, along with the spiked increase in funding sliotars for the senior panel, Wexford GAA have announced an overall increase of €250,000 in team costs for 2017 - a 36% increase on spending in 2016.

    "there's more to life than a hurling game"

    So why are you spending 60-70 hours a week doing it?

    "Family is no.1"

    Says the man spending 60-70 hours a week coaching hurling. In addition to doing Irelands Fittest Family, doing Davy's Toughest Team, running all his bars and restaurants.

    Can't edit the double quote, But you're right, I forgot 2013

    Indeed a great example of 2 "poor" managers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,189 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Even as a non GAA fan Fitzgerald isn't likeable in the slightest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,718 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    one key line in that story was glossed over … “It isn't all blind expenditure however. Wexford, on account of the renewed enthusiasm for the county's hurlers this year, pocketed an additional €447,135 for 2017.”


    wexford were handsomely up from bringing in Davy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,308 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I used think Davy was a bit of hot headed guy but you'd put up with him.

    However now I feel like your watching on the school bullies and you know they haven't changed.

    I'd have watched him before but not anymore.

    It's nearly always the same spiel with him.

    That's ridiculous he is one of the greatest gaa hurling managers ever.


    He managed Limerick IT to 2 Fitzgibbon cups

    He won All Ireland with Clare. Clare have only won 3 All Irelands in football or hurling in over a century, in over 100 years. In 108 years Clare have won 3 All Irelands. And Davy was involved in all 3, 2 as a player and one as manager. He won league division 1 title with Clare their first league title in 38 years and the only league title Clare have won in the last 44 years.

    He won Munster title with Waterford which is the last time Waterford won the Munster title , that was 12 years ago under Davy. And he led Waterford to their first All Ireland final in 45 years.

    He took Wexford to their first leinster final in 9 years and won Wexfords first leinster title in 12 years. Wexford have only won 2 leinster titles in last 25 years, Davy won one of them.

    That's an outstanding CV. Better than many. In hurling terms he is one greatest managers ever. His record is outstanding. Counties like Tipp Cork kilkenny have dominated hurling. Davy took on the big 3 and was successful.

    Waterford have only won 1 Munster in the last 14 years and that was under Davy. Wexford have won 1 leinster title in the last 18 years and that was under Davy. Clare have won 1 All Ireland in the last 25 years that was under Davy. If Davy didn't go to Clare or Waterford or Wexford all those counties would have being more than likely still waiting for sucesss. As a player and manager with teams like Clare Waterford Wexford who have had little success compare to the big 3, Davy has achieved success with him. He is one of the greatest gaamanagers ever.
