Mayo GAA Discussion

I completely disagree! The performance in the Cavan game told us that there is huge issues in the camp, along with the fact that the closing minutes in the Donegal game showed us that the camp had learned and evolved absolutely nothing since the Dublin game in the Hyde last year!

With everything that's happened this year performance wise and how we haven't adopted to the new rules at all tells you everything you need to know about what's going on and the standards in the camp in the moment. The flashes of good performance in the Galway, Tyrone and Donegal games just shows what the team is capable of but cannot consistently maintain at the moment!

An outside manager may not make sense in counties that have won all irelands but Mayo is an exception in being to so many finals but failing to finish the job. Some will say that we got to finals so we must have good managers. Well they were good but at this stage I think we need a manager with all Ireland medals to instill the extra bit of belief needed. A little bit of cynicism would do no hard to as the current squad seem to lack a bit of the dog in their play.

You've pretty much summed up my thoughts there. An outside man with AI medals would have more authority to treat every player equally and pick a team and panel from a clean slate. This is a 3-4 year project once again and I'm against the idea of playing players who won't be around after a year or 2.

But why review….. It was over and the review would only delay the inevitable. It’s the right thing to do and now they have time to find the best guy and a man who wants it.

It's on Twitter too. They have hardly hacked the two accounts.

Always thought it was a 3 year term until read reports now that was appointed for 4 years ! Fresh blood no harm at all . No harm for his health either .

I figured they would go but I thought a review was required after year 3. Maybe they had a brief one but thought they would all go away and discuss and then reach a decision

Co board have ended the Mayo team managers tenure. Blunt statement.

It's the correct outcome but does not come across as having been conducted properly. McStay isn't stupid. If the board made it clear it was over I'm sure he would have taken the opportunity to step down.

Just as there is a correct recruitment process it is equally important to let mangers go in a professional, mannerly way. I hope that was the case.

Same outcome none the less.

McEntee for me to take over.

It was a 4yr contract.

I wonder will the players be asked who they want?

This is how the statement will be viewed outside the county. After all the previous managerial controversies not to mention the recent revenue issues you'd think we'd handle this better.

Damages the image of the board and potentially damages the interest from outside managers.

Would prefer someone totally new against mcEntee who was there before. McConville would be ideal.

dunno why, he hasn’t done much as an ic manager, Wicklow have been decent but literally did a mayo on it in the tailtenn cup semi
