A fraud of a manager

Jim McGuiness won an all ireland?

So did Davy?

Can't edit the double quote, But you're right, I forgot 2013

Indeed a great example of 2 "poor" managers

one key line in that story was glossed over … “It isn't all blind expenditure however. Wexford, on account of the renewed enthusiasm for the county's hurlers this year, pocketed an additional €447,135 for 2017.”

wexford were handsomely up from bringing in Davy

That's ridiculous he is one of the greatest gaa hurling managers ever.

He managed Limerick IT to 2 Fitzgibbon cups

He won All Ireland with Clare. Clare have only won 3 All Irelands in football or hurling in over a century, in over 100 years. In 108 years Clare have won 3 All Irelands. And Davy was involved in all 3, 2 as a player and one as manager. He won league division 1 title with Clare their first league title in 38 years and the only league title Clare have won in the last 44 years.

He won Munster title with Waterford which is the last time Waterford won the Munster title , that was 12 years ago under Davy. And he led Waterford to their first All Ireland final in 45 years.

He took Wexford to their first leinster final in 9 years and won Wexfords first leinster title in 12 years. Wexford have only won 2 leinster titles in last 25 years, Davy won one of them.

That's an outstanding CV. Better than many. In hurling terms he is one greatest managers ever. His record is outstanding. Counties like Tipp Cork kilkenny have dominated hurling. Davy took on the big 3 and was successful.

Waterford have only won 1 Munster in the last 14 years and that was under Davy. Wexford have won 1 leinster title in the last 18 years and that was under Davy. Clare have won 1 All Ireland in the last 25 years that was under Davy. If Davy didn't go to Clare or Waterford or Wexford all those counties would have being more than likely still waiting for sucesss. As a player and manager with teams like Clare Waterford Wexford who have had little success compare to the big 3, Davy has achieved success with him. He is one of the greatest gaamanagers ever.

Not the greatest of shows. I thought your one in the middle Santis was the best. Did not care for Gabrial very boring and the same with your man at the end very boring.

Enjoyed the GB one.

I felt he over did the "left hanging silences" with Santis. Maybe it's losing a feel of originality. She was very likeable.

I've zero interest in listening to anyone interview DF.

Jim Galvin now that's hyping up an manager. He had the pick of 5 Under 21 All Irelands and 1 minor All Ireland winning teams, millions funding from Irish government and gaa funding that amounted to 24 million plus. Cork come next with over 1 million. He had no competition in his province for decade, worst leinster, least competitive leinster championship in history. He didn't have competition until All Ireland semi final. In an era that is least competitive era in generations. In 90s you had 8 different All Ireland winners. And in 90s you had 4 All Ireland contenders in leinster. Jim Galvin was in charge of PSG Man City of GAA. Cannot compare him to Dublins greatest manager Kevin Heffernan or other greats like Mick Dwyer who did wonders with kildare and laois and Sean Boylan whose 2 in a row team 87 88 had no underage sucess.

Regards Davy winning only Clares third All Ireland in 108 years in 2013 is a great achievement. Clare have won 4 All Irelands. Davy has been involved in 3 of them, that is impressive.

He got Waterford to hurling senior final. Waterford did not reach hurling senior final in late 60s in 70s in the 80s in the 90s and it wasn't until Davy took over Waterford reached a senior final. Again you can degrade his achievement but again Davy achieved with Waterford.

The Wexford team were not good enough to win an All Ireland. Since 1960s Wexford have struggled, they have won 1 All Ireland in 50 years and reached 1 final senior in last 40 years. Wexford don't reach finals. Wexford struggle to win Leinsters. Watch how Wexford return to the pack without Davy. Winning leinster with Wexgord and turning Wexford into All Ireland contenders was a great achievement. GAA don't like characters. Anyone different or outspoken is frowned upon. Davy is a real mould breaker. When you look at the great hurling managers Brian Cody Cryil Farrell Michael Babs Keating Liam Griffin Ger loughnane Jimmy Barry Murphy Liam Sheedy John kiely, Davy joins that list. And his achievement with numerous teams puts him ahead of many. People don't like his personality, thats fair enough. But judge him on his achievements. They are impressive.
