The Tipperary GAA Discussion Thread

Jurgen Klopp has a better chance of getting it than Cahill I heard

Fired by phone is tough. Think the county board need a HR department. Woeful sensitivity. Apparently, from what I've heard, they sat through the presentation knowing they'd already someone put in place. Why do that like? Just man up to the situation and be honest.

"I am extremely disappointed with the decision of the executive committee of Tipperary GAA regarding my position as Tipperary senior hurling manager.

"The terms of reference I was given for my 3 year term was stated clearly by the Executive Committee at the Tipperary convention in December 2021 where it was stated that Tipperary were entering a transition and a rebuilding period. The manager will need time to add new players to the panel and patience was urged for this rebuild.

"I presented a detailed presentation to the 15 person Executive yesterday evening (Wednesday), this encompassed my review of 2022 and my plans for 2023. I have since been informed by the County Board that I am no longer in the position of Tipperary senior hurling manager for the coming years.

"I am an honourable and a very committed Tipperary man, with an experienced management career, who has always giving my heart and soul to Tipperary hurling, both as a player and manager. I took on this task in good faith.

"Tipperary hurling will always be in my heart and I wish all involved the best of luck as I again become a passionate supporter of our great county team," a clearly hurting Bonner said.

Of course, he's hurt. It will take a lot for him to get over this. Has to be said, the majority of "Tipp supporters" did nothing but kick him when he was in the job, not go to games, and now they're pissing on his grave.

??? What part do you need to have explained to you?

The whole thing has been badly managed.

If the County Board have an announcement to make, they better make it Sunday morning. There's a big distraction coming Sunday afternoon. That will take some of the media heat and scrutiny off it.

Not a hope in hell. Cahill/bevans turned down the job last year. There would be anarchy if the county board were seen to go crawling to anyone to come and manage Tipperary.

Liam Cahill steps down as Waterford senior hurling manager.

That remains to be seen. And after the last fiasco, I'll wait for an official announcement. But... a lot of heads are telling me different...

Apparently, Monday night there will be a new manager announced. They'd be better off to get it out there before the final.

Cahill was with Waterford at the time so I don't blame for staying with them. Now he's available and Tipp want him so let's get the deal done. Great track record, has passion, drive & experience needed for the job. He's our best bet to get back competitive.

I think ye will find that between the Limerick and Cork game Cahill and his Donegal friend ran that Waterford team into the ground. So when the knockout game versus Cork came that Waterford team were flat as a pancake due to being overtrained the previous week's. When the waterford county board sought feedback from the players their was some criticism of the overtraining. Cahill did not like this. However even the most inept of managers should know not to overtrain a team in the week of a big game. Be careful what ye wish for. He did a good job with Waterford but after this summer he was a spent force. On another note it won't matter for tipp who the manager is as the players are just not their to win an all Ireland.
