Nominations invited for vacant Mayo GAA job

OVER the past week the rumour machine regarding the next Mayo senior football manager has been in full swing.

However, despite a lot of speculation, The Connaught Telegraph can confirm that a new manager will not be in place for the forseeable future.

Indeed, it will be the end of the month at the earliest before the vacancy will be filled.

While numerous names have been mentioned in respect of the position, and will continue to be, no one can be appointed until after the clubs in the county have their say.

Earlier today the Mayo County Board invited all their clubs to submit nominations for the post, the deadline being Wednesday week, September 19.

As a result of this I expect the rumour machine to be cranked up even more over the coming 10 days.

I also expect there will be a lot people sounding out by different parties in regard to their interest or otherwise in one of the most attractive jobs in the GAA.
