My feeling all along was that he was going to stay and the 'Coming Home' story was just a way of bumping up his salary negotiations. The guy is living the dream as a professional sportsman in the best climate in the world and knows how to use the media to the maximum.

What would he do if he came home? Foot the turf in the bog or get a job as a sales rep for a fifth of his current earnings?
My reading is that he will stay there until he is 30 or 31 and then come back to try for an AI when he has money made, given it his all and has still bucket loads to offer Kerry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well,he could apply and get that new croker job looking after the well fare of the county players,proberly carries a salary of 50 to 60 grand.
he could proberly comand 50 to 60 grand for an article in one of the papers.
he would proberly command 50 to 60 grand as an analist/commentator for RTE.
kerry group would proberly pay 50 to 60 grand to him to promote their foods at home and in australia.
Air Aran,kerry airport and killarney tourism would proberly pay him another 50 to 60 grand to promote the airport and tourism at home and in australia.
While based part time in dublin he could purchase a million euro home in dublin from funds earned down under and watch it grow at 15% per annum in appreciation.150 grand per year.
theres a package of 3 or 400 hundred grand with very little imagination,maybe someone needs to sit down with the lad.

anyway seamus thats better than fecking migets ate in the head of ya in the fecken bog.

I read a story the other day that Sean Og could earn €100k a year in endorsements if he so wished (presume it goes against his values). Tadgh would be the golden boy of the GAA if he returned home, companies would be tripping over each other to get at him.

i'm begining to think he only has aussie advisers talking to him,maybe admin could get the kerry co.board to organise a one to one session with tadgh and mr.brosnan from kerry foods.
In the new climate in celtic ireland tadgh could be huge here with proper advise.
And would also transform our fullforward line for the summer ahead.
come on admin get the ball rolling.All-irelands dont grow on trees.

Kennelly extends stay with Sydney

31/08/2006: Tadhg Kennelly has committed his long-term future to Australian Rules side Sydney Swans after signing a new three-year deal with the AFL champions, taking his time at the club to ten years.

The 25-year-old had considered a move back to his native Kerry following the death of his father Tim last year but has opted to pursue his career in the professional code.

Kennelly, the first Irish player to win an Australian title, has put pen to paper on a contract until 2009 after discussing the matter with his family. However, he still expects to return to Listowel at the end of his new deal.

"It was a very tough decision to make but I'm happy we have now resolved the next few years of my career," Kennelly explained. "There has been a lot of soul searching and it wasn't until I spent a few weeks with my mother and sister that I was able to finally commit to the club.

"But now I have it's a relief, I'm sticking with the Swans for now however ultimately I'll be heading back to Ireland."

Sydney coach Paul Roos said the club is delighted that Kennelly had come to terms with the club on a new deal.

"Certainly there are great pressures on Tadhg to return home to his family in Ireland and we fully understand those pressures but we are happy he has made the decision to stay for the present time," Kennelly said.

Kennelly, who joined the Swans in 1999 as a teenager, has made 119 appearances for the club.

Based on the reaction of Cork women to Sean Óg's recent pictures in the Tribune, he could open a knockin' shop on Lavitts Quay and earn enough to buy and sell Tadhg 10 times over.

Regarding Tadgh staying on for another 3 years, its not surprising to say the least - I always reckon he was just upping the argument for a salary hike with the swans by dreaming out loud about the soft green fields of North Kerry and the slippery green field of Dublin 3.

Tadgh would never dream of doing such a thing
