Finished Neal Horgan's Death Of A Football Club last night.
An excellent read. Very interesting insights into the dressing room while all the nonsense with Arkaga and Coughlan was going on.
It will be an easier read for Cork fans, now that they are back at the business end of the league, but the sheer frustration at all the stuff that could have been avoided...
I'd say far more could have been said about certain "characters". You'd nearly need to be a solicitor yourself to talk about anyone in this league at times.
Some of the stuff that went on sounded very familiar, even if it was more incompetence than malice that was behind it in Cork.
It was near the end of the book so it probably sticks with me more, but Tom Coughlan undermining Alan Mathews at every turn and even suggesting to Mathews that the team could be run by committee "like in rugby". Hard to know if that was him swinging his dick, to remind Mathews who was in charge or if he was actually that clueless. Or both...
Anyone bothered enough about LOI to be looking at this thread should read it.
