Oops!!
4 applicants confirmed on mayo news twitter, no details yet of backroom teams for Dempsey or Shaw
Darcy was/is a Dublin boy who happened to play down in Leitrim. Dublin don't take blow ins into the county team and even when thinks were bad it was never entertained. Zero chance he ever plays for Dublin but he's pissed off a lot of folks I'd say
Difference being that Declan Darcy was actually a Dub.
Yes
same as Declan Darcy did
He can only play for a Dublin club as he has “relocated” up there
So yes he can
In theory, could he technically play for Dublin if he wanted??
I know it's highly unlikely to ever happen in such a high profile case but would be interesting to see if someone pushed hard for it
Hope he doesn't get the transfer or if he does that he wins nothing (like Vaughan I think?) , it sets a bad precedent for small clubs across the country. I'd be livid if say Oisín Mullin did something like this.
If that's true, he's making a joke of the system.
He must be getting plenty of €€€€€ to do this.
From a Galway club point of view this is terrible but this is the end of him. I have yet to see this work out for most players that move from his natural club. Sure we had Vaughan do it on more ridiculous grounds and see where it got him. I do wonder about guys like this when in their prime.
Apparently he's trying to use his enrollment with Hibernia College as his reason for needing relocation, even though it is an entirely online course with the exception of the occasional 5 hours on a Saturday F2F in Dublin.

They do get a slice of any gate receipts and raffling off tickets for an All Ireland final is a huge money spinner.
No but a successful team generates more interest in county raffles , fundraisers etc etc
Success breeds success and all that
No county gaa gets revenue from days out in Croke Park.
Well they'll be in a worse position if they go for a cheap option that doesn't know what it's at and the crowds dwindle away and we don't make it to croker regularly - where will the revenue come from then?
Mayo GAA will be worried about these huge backroom teams and the expenses required. Considering we have an unknown amount of debt left to pay on McHale Park.
No comparison between the two management teams .
Next management ticket has hit the papers:
Mike Solan
Aidan O’Rourke
Eamon O’Hara
Alan Murphy
Mark Ronaldson
Like he has done already?
Absolute nothing man,
Tipping 50 and shouting like a teenager on twitter.
You'd want to out of your mind to ask <snip> for a cent. The stuff he posts on twitter is real bottom of the barrel stuff.
Despite whether the people he's targeting deserve scrutiny or not, the vulgar and personalised way he does it is classless and something he should be ashamed of.
Tim O'Leary will fork out if asked..
Wasn't this allegedly his down fall last time, wanted to be compensated for giving up media duties and have McHale as a full time coach employed by mayo gaa. Is this still the ask as well as team building weekends away and a star studded coaching ticket who are not getting involved for the love of mayo only ? Personally, I don't think he the one but if he gets a shot at it then fair play to him
Cute move alright but it might not play well with influential people and fwiw id prefer things to stay behind closed doors, we don't need this appointment process becoming a media circus.
Said the same thing today, McStay is a good PR man, everyone is talking about the great backroom team
Cute more than sneaky
With such a big backroom team plus mcstay how will they pay for it?
Well it's a leak to the media rather than an official announcement by him AFAIK
A lot of cooks in the kitchen in that backroom team...
In fairness, putting it out in the public domain is the opposite of sneaky!!!! Its the behind closed doors stuff that and letting rumours out here and there thats the sneaky approach?
No doubt a calculated move all the same but I can't see how it could be classed as sneaky!
Over on the football championship thread there is a Meath poster called Sonny something or other who posts huge long posts.
Anyway in the middle of one a few days ago he mentioned Buckley being part of O'Rourke's Meath setup.
If that is true then it's either aspirational from O'Rourke or McStay or from both of them to be including Buckley in their plans.
