A seventh year for Daly wouldn’t be right for him or Dublin

It’s all about time. Anthony Daly knows it.

Last Sunday when he was asked about his future as Dublin manager he initially deflected it before admitting, “maybe it’s time to give someone else a go”; it just wasn’t the time to say for sure it was time.

In the coming days or weeks though, he’ll let everyone know; he gave it six days after his last game over Clare to declare it had been his last. It might be different if he was living in Dublin but he doesn’t. He also has the awareness to realise that whoever is over Dublin in 2015 really needs to be there for Dublin in 2017 and does he really have the energy and time to devote to another three-year project outside his own county bounds?
