I wouldn’t get too worried lads it’s not going to be Paddy Kirwan, alltheway was on this about 2 weeks ago and said he was appointed and surprise surprise it didnt happen then and it’s not going to happen now, alltheway is either trying to stir sh*t for the laugh or someone is filling him with sh*t, either way i guarantee Kirwan is not getting the job.

I heard it's a done deal that ollie baker will be appointed.
So we aren't actually straying too far away from the Paddy Kirwan model!!

That is truly, truly awful.

i also heard that ollie might have it ,also they are waiting for the county final is over with both Paul Murphy and Ken Hogan in with a shout
you heard so much sh.t about who is getting it.

i hope they get someone in soon and get a fresh squad in for january's training and Walsh cup and league games which ever league we are in don't know that either

What management has Ollie Baker on his CV? I don't want to dismiss the man out of hand, but there is a danger of going from just picking former Offaly hurlers because they have medals, to picking a former Clare hurler because he has medals. Has he done anything at club, underage or ideally Fitzgibbon level?

was he with Anthony Daly as a selector with clare a few years ago, but sure what CV had had Joe Dooley besides an player trainer with Seir kierans .

He was a selector and coach with Westmeath a few years ago, he served as a selector and trainer during Mike McNamara's ill fated spell in charge with Clare and has also been involved with Antrim. Not fantastic managerial experience just a couple of selecting roles really, hope they dont pick him.

He managed Roscrea in 2010 and 2011.
They haven't made any strides.

Ollie Baker won 2 All Ireland medals as a player. He is a great choice.

But Joe Dooley won 3 so this is a step backwards!

Aye, but Baker won a Club All Ireland as well, which Joe Dooley never did.
What did the likes of Francis Forde and Eamon O'Shea ever win?
