Search Results for 'chairman of the county board'

Former Mayo manager John Maughan ruled himself out of the running for the vacant Mayo senior managers job late on Thursday evening. The Crossmolina native who three times guided Mayo the All Ireland senior final confirmed to the Mayo Advertiser that he would not be going forward to the interview stage of the process, he told the Advertiser that he was very interest in the job, but following a discussion with chairman of the county board on Thursday he decided not to pursue his interest in the position any further.

John O'Mahony will be the first to admit that it just wasn't good enough, the county in general welcomed his appointment as manager back in 2006 and with some good reason he had brought Galway to two All Ireland's and done great work with Leitrim before that. But the way this championship went was just horrific, to loose to Sligo and no disrespect to them was very disappointing, but to loose to Longford in the manner we did was just something I'm in disbelief off. It seems that since the National League final defeat against Cork, the belief just drained out of the players and apart from Alan Freeman and Alan Dillon there's not one player who could hold their hands up and say that they preformed well on the day against Longford. I don't think that Mayo has seen any darker days on the football field.
