ANTHONY CUNNINGHAM’S FUTURE as Galway senior hurling manager looks likely to be resolved on Monday.
However, the pressure appears to be increasing on the current boss to step aside after it was confirmed that a mediation process has failed to find a resolution to the current impasse between Cunningham and the Galway players.
Cunningham has been at the helm for the past four seasons but his position was thrown into doubt recently following a vote of no confidence from the panel.
The Galway County Committee met last night to hear the outcome of a mediation process, but with both parties standing firm, no progress has been made.
“The mediation process has concluded and the Independent Mediator has determined that despite best efforts, there was little, if no, possibility of the parties reaching common agreement on the substantive issue,” said a statement which was issued by County Secretary John Hynes.
“At this stage, all reasonable efforts have been made to resolve the impasse. The County Committee will meet again on Monday evening next, 16 November, to make a decision on the matter.
“All of us appreciate how difficult this situation has been, not least for the our Players, the Management Team and their families. We are hopeful that the matter will be concluded on Monday next so that we can begin to rebuild and look to the Hurling season ahead, with confidence.”
Nice story about a good young player coming through and Mourinho somehow makes it all about him as usual.
@Joseph Bloggs: Or the one quote selected by the media is the quote by Mourinho that addresses how the media portray him
@Joseph Bloggs: no Joseph he praises the lad FIRST and then makes it about plebs like you …
@Johnny Bravo: Me? You must struggle with the written word Johnny, he clearly makes it about himself.
@Joseph Bloggs: see my comment below.
I heard something about Jose recently. Apparently he was being interviewed after a game and basically he was being a complete pr**k, walked out on the interview and all. Then, when the camera stopped rolling he walked over to the reporter and was happy as Larry, laughing and joking and apologising. It’s all a game, lads. He does it because he thinks if people are talking about Jose, they’re not talking about *insert name here* and how they’re playing shite. It’s an excellent managerial approach. It also creates the siege mentality that winning teams tend to have.
Having said all that…he’s a massive pain in the hole.
@Lurfic: Ha ha, nice one Lurfic :-)
@Lurfic: Think this was actually RTÉ’s Darragh Maloney! Or at least he has a similar yarn.
Still awaiting his Premier League debut? He has two premier league appearancs to his name.
@Brian Murray: yeah they have that wrong , maybe meant he’s waiting his first premier league start ??
@Pizyco: maybe
Remember when Darron Gibson was like this…
