Your coaching appointment is the most important one, you must look at their track record, who they've worked with, recommendations from other coaches all of this helps you to find the best man for the job.
It's no coincidence that Ian Lenaghan was the man that gave Michael Mcguire his first coaching gig. When you think outside of the box and have a determination to succeed and use common sense you will make the right choices.
As Gutterfax stated, Lenaghan is a master businessman he sold his car in order to get his business up and running and has been a success in every field he's been in. When he went about hiring a coach he was prepared to do whatever it takes to get the right man, not ' Oh there's noone else available', or ' Tony Rea is the best we can get'.
Rea and Powell were the easiest and laziest coaching appointments they were there under our noses and we didn't even bother to look outside the box. Why I bring this thread up again is because I want to demonstrate that winning/losing is a mentality which comes from the top and if you have a strong desire to win and succeed you will but you have to make sure every decision you make is the right one, after all the coaches role is THE most important decision a club owner will make.
