Heard talk that some of the players are trying to convince him to stay. But nothing more than that.

i imagine he will stay , the wexford lads have been up here a few weeks ago watching his club team sixmilebridge , he has also brought the sixmilebridge team down to wexford last week for challenge games , he is still holding on to his strong connection with the county

he is not in line for the clare job at the moment so i imagine he will stay where he is

According to the local Wexford paper called the "Wexford People" that came out today, Davy is expected to stay for another two years.

We better start selling more tickets in the Wexford County Development draw so.

PatrickSmithUS · 11-09-2019 12:17pm

Matty Forde has been confirmed as a selector for the footballers.

purplepanda · 12-09-2019 11:04am

Rumours that Davy is talking to Galway now. :eek:

Hopefully the county board have a plan B as we have the New York Hurling tournament in mid November & need management & selectors in place way before then.

Sounds like pure speculation as he was out of the country until the weekend.

Any Wexford Football supporter offer an opinion on David Power's term as football manager.

Tipperary has just appointed him but I am not impressed.

In fairness to him e came into it at a bad time with so many of the golden generation hanging up their boots.

However, I didn't rate him at all the play was terrible and they went backwards quickly as a unit. if he's any use it's over younger players not seniors.

PatrickSmithUS · 23-09-2019 8:58am

Lotta rumours circulating that Davy is away to Galway.

Let's hope they're not true.

allthedoyles · 25-09-2019 10:22pm

He said he will make up his mind in the next day or two. Said he had no contact about the Galway position.

Wonder could DJ take over now that he has left the KK U20's if Davy steps down ?

I can't see DJ Carey of Henry Shefflin managing outside of Kilkenny before Cody retires.

They'll want to keep their powder dry for the big gig.

Up Wexford

Listening to Davy on radio this morning and he came across so flaky and unsure and undecided...almost "Oh, sure I'll do it. Aren't I so great."

Are Wexford that desperate for his services?

Davy wouldn't do the job unless he is 100% wants to do it.

Its not that we are desperate for him, but the players clearly believe in him and want him. That's the important part.

Well, if you listened to him today he was not near 100 percent....

A flake is what I heard...

Well in fairness, just back from his holiday, was down in Wexford for the last day or so and then travelling back, so tireness might be one part of it.

Time will tell

1st time we beat 2 capital cities in the 1 weekend?;)

allthedoyles · 24-02-2020 11:14pm

Was the quality of the win though. Several points down when 1st man went and even 2 points down at 67 mins / 2 men down.

Galvin has walked just as things were about to kick off again.

Timing seems completely off, considering county teams are allowed back training this week. A bit hypocritical too if you ask me considering he was pulling up lads for a supposed lack of commitment, yet he jumps ship before year one (of an albeit distrupted) of the project. Even if it is Covid relation, he could have had his management taking training till the next review in three weeks.

I just made a point in another discussion forum not far from here, that during the truncuated local championship, it almost seemed that the county board were at pains to ensure that Davy did some co-commentary etc.

The coverage was widely praised, but its noticeable that it has dried up considerably since the football resumed (they don't even have highlights of games any more), and Galvin was never part of any of the commentary teams.

His appointment alone boosted our profile outside the county, but its clear that it is still the poor relation within it.

Very bad against galway
