Jim McGuinness has joined the plethora of managers who feel the GAA should not tinker with the current Allianz Football League format.
However, Leitrim boss Andy Moran and Derry boss Mickey Harte are both vehemently opposed to scrapping the League finals and McGuinness is in agreement. “People talked that competition down into oblivion. The same is going on now with the provincial Championships and the same is going on now with the Leagues.
"There are eight to 10 cups in a season. Maybe that can be a springboard to other things moving forward. If we take all of that away and focus on this , historically only two teams have won it.” “The teams weren’t seeded and the team that went for it, Ballyshannon, finished top. Because it was an open draw, they played St Eunan’s Letterkenny when they qualified so there was no advantage to all the football they played.
“We want to find weeks at the expense of the Ulster Championship, at the expense of the League finals? Who are we serving? It is not serving managers in my view, it isn’t serving players or supporters. They want to see their team win and it isn’t serving supporters going to Derry in three weeks in the pouring rain with a soft pitch. That doesn’t serve anybody.”
