Dave Fitzgerald about to go .

[The Bandit]

Rumours abound that he is about to get the boot. Some players want him out. Any updates?

 

[richiepurg]

That rumour has been doing the rounds for a few weeks now.

 

[SoundMan]

And would Donal Og leave with him or take over from him?

Examiner putting it beyond "rumour" stage.

"Davy Fitzgerald is set to step down as Clare manager in the next 48 hours, the Irish Examiner has revealed.


The 2013 All-Ireland winning manager had asked his players to meet and discuss the direction of the group, which they did last night."

Wow! that's a big blow to them I think. Clare had the makings of being there or there about in the next year or two. Much of intercounty management job these days seems to be in getting all the egos to pull together for long enough.

Davey and Donal to take over the Cork hurlers.

Do you want Frankeen to have a heart attack ?

No its not. A bigger blow would be Davy staying on and playing 14 defenders again. Clare have the talent but Davys methods wear thin quickly and he hasn't made progress with this group since their All Ireland win.

Plus, the man has to look after his health too. He is a Clare legend, he can leave with his head held high

AI titles as player and bainisteoir for Clare.
Left them with a league title as well but against that, they never pushed on in c'ship after 2013.
Think he was given a fair crack of the whip with three extra years after AI title.
