Donegal look hell-bent on alienating Jim

It must be the northern air. It must be something. What else can explain the way successful managers are treated at the tip of the country?

Consider, if you will, a much forgotten fact. In 1975, Brian McEniff was part of the management team that guided Sligo to only their second Connacht title. But why was McEniff involved with Sligo? After all, this was the iconic figure who, as a player-manager led Donegal to their first ever Ulster title in 1972. McEniff followed up that groundbreaking achievement by guiding them to a second provincial crown in 1974.

So why was McEniff with Sligo in ’75? The answer is simple. The Donegal County Board ousted him.
