Michael is joined by Pat Spillane and Dick Clerkin to chat through all the movement in the inter-county management space, including Gabriel Bannigan stepping down from his post at Monaghan and Pádraic Joyce’s departure from Galway. They also discuss the Kobe McDonald mania which has transferred from Crossmolina, to Mayo, then St Kilda, and back - as well as how managers attempt to build on the legacy of those who have gone before them.
