Tony Leahy has been fla`d again, he only gave notice of his intentions yesterday, how the hell could he be gone so quickly. This smells to me. I`m delighted someone like him is involved, but  (open to correction  )   his only mangement has been with Tracton juniors  (super job by all accounts  )   and Aghada. Is it a big jump even with his playing experience. Tony Leahy has won 4 Munsters and an All-Ireland with U-21`s.
Now of course maybe Leahy is a select  or, now that would make me really happy, a bit of foresight.
I know one or two of the U-21`s, and they talk so highly of that whole U-21 set-up, i would have liked it on-block.

At least we`re on a road somewhere, where who knows, but somewhere. Next thing is to get the rest of the coutry back to just disliking us cos were cocky and not cos we fcuked everything up!!!

Does it have to be a unamimous decision? Otherwise surely the two players can be ignored and the five county board men can pick who they like?

Like if the two players don`t like the new manager can they veto any decision?

What was the Cork players` problem with Teddy Holland anyway? Was it just a power struggle with the county board with Teddy in the middle or do they not like Holland as well or not rate him?

The circumstances of Counihan`s appointment, less than 20 hours after the Cork Board`s decision to sack Holland, smell just as much as those surrounding Holland`s appointment in the first instance.
It beggars belief that the Board`s negotiations with Counihan could have started and concluded successfully in such a short space of time.

The Board delegates should now ask themselves why they allowed the Board to pre-judge their decision last night, by negotiating with Counihan while Holland was still manager.

Counihan should ask himself what will be do if the same thing happens to him.

As a man sows, so shall he reap...

SLR... why should Tony Leahy feel aggrieved or have expected the job????
Just think back a few yrs to your own county and the way Dave Keane was thrust into the senior job after 3 succesful u.21 campaigns, Im sure you`ll agree it didnt work out and the general opinion afterwards was that he should have taken a yr or two out from intercounty managment before getting involved in snr managment. He was blinkered and loyal   (understandably  )   to the players who played for him u.21. But managing a senior intercounty team is a lot different from dealing with 19/20/21 yr olds. Tony Leahy is definitely one for the future in Cork but might be a better option in 2 or 3 yrs.

I presume Fr Philip Egan from Liscarroll will be going in as part of Counihans team.

He was the Galbally trainer for a few years and brought Counihan to Galbally one night. Apparently he was due to go into the Cork job with Counihan in 2003 until Billy Morgan was a late entry.
