'I might get a phone call at least' -- Kevin McStay admits interest in discussing Mayo job

The Sunday Game analyst is many Mayo fans’ pick to succeed James Horan.

THE FRONTRUNNER FOR the vacant Mayo senior football manager’s job has strongly hinted at his desire to discuss the position with the county board.

Kevin McStay is many supporters’ preference to succeed James Horan who quit the post after the championship exit to Kerry on Saturday evening on Limerick.

“People are talking about that,” said McStay on the Sunday Game tonight. “I hope I have the respect of the Mayo GAA public that at least I might get a phone call. I might get a short one, a long one; I don’t know.

“But tonight isn’t really about that. Tonight is about a team that’s taking a deep breath and reflecting on the season that’s behind them. I’ll say this Des — and it’s not a rallying call or anything, it’s a fact — we’re a very resilient race of people.

“We will be back for the national league and the championship again with the same determination and maybe even more. You don’t know where this mad game of football leads you — look at happened today with Dublin and Donegal.”

The army officer led St Brigid’s to win the All-Ireland club title in 2013, in a management team with Mayo great Liam McHale, who is tipped to form a new ticket should McStay land the top job.
