Legion appoint Alan o neill, Sean o Sullivan and James o Sullivan. Is it not very early to be appointing managers for 2017???
Good appointment IMO these 3 will bring a new level of professionalism to club football

I think Legion are a club who feel they can be contesting county championships. A poor year by them in the county league and championship this year. Id say they want to write off this year and just start fresh next year with the new manager at the helm. The appointment was probably done so early so they can start looking forward already cause it was a bad year for them

I don't think it's ever too early to appoint new management, especially of the calibre of the 3 lads. No doubt the powers that be at Legion held thorough discussions before making their decision and with Alan O'Neill being one of their own they'd know what he can bring to the table. Credit must go to former manager Kieran Cronin for stepping down as soon as the season was over to allow someone new to have a crack at things. Kieran was very unlucky this year with squad injuries and players not being available to him. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this lad in the near future.

Legion should come back up with Kenmare and possibly Spa.

Very wise decision by Legion to make an early appointment and outlines their intentions that they mean business. Legion with a fully fit team could definitely rattle a championship. I did hear that Podge O Connor has emigrated indefinitely, can anyone confirm this? He would be a major loss. I don't think they will have too much joy in the county league because their Kerry players are big losses. Spa could very well be promoted with a mix of experience and some extremely talented young players.

I think 2015 it was there for them and as good a chance might not come around again. Peter Keane had them in tip top shape that season and a few teams have moved on to become stronger since 2015 most notably Crokes and also the likes of Dingle. Legion do not have the strength in depth to cope with the losing the likes of Podge O'Connor. They had a torrid run with injuries, players away in 2015 and this left the management on the backfoot from the beginning. Some fine players but might lack that bit of strength of depth required to win the championship.

Legion will lose a couple again next year. I'd agree that they don't have the strength in depth. Would be surprised to see them challenge for county honours, not to mind get promoted next year. They'll be weakened without Podge O Connor and the county lads, and a few more who are potentially out of the country.

Just to confirm - Podge is definitely gone to the US.

I believe that templenoe have got rid of manager Mike Crowley after a player meeting had a vote of no confidence in him sounds harsh on a man who led them to division one and all Ireland success

I see that Green and Gold35 and kerryman 2 omitted John Mitchels from their Division 1 line ups for 2017.

Mike has done a excellent job with these young lads but the players need a new face to bring that bite back into the team. You need a new face every few years its the way the club scene works. Im sure the players will always have praise for Mike but its time to move on now to a new Manager.

I see one of those names gone to kilcumion already ,PJ Reidy, Jerry Sullivan, Michael Cahill,are other names he mentioned. I think Templenone are mad getting Rid of Crowley could be wrong ere but that could back fire big time, Managers are hard to get now days especially club bred ones

Good appointment by Scart and a solid starting point for Michael Cahill in senior football. Desmonds might have been a year too early for him although his work with the district 16's can't go unnoticed. I wonder will he continue playing with Cordal or retire?! Crowley would be a brilliant appointment for Desmonds, but distance might be an obstacle for him to travel. Also heard they've looked at Rathmore man, Denis Reen who brought success to Kiskeam this year.

Strange call by Templenoe. I thought the Templenoe players where by far the better players on the Kenmare district team that contested the semi final and county final. They left everything on the field in an effort to win the county final in a game that had gone away from them. Maybe that extended effort caught up with them eventually in 2016.

I be thinking 36/37 Don't know what age he is, have read good things about him on here though and if he does a good job with Scart hopefully the sky is the limit for him. In my opinion it would be good to have a selector in with kerry who never played a high standard of football and would have a better knowledge of the lower league footballers.
