McGuinness looks to move on from Cassidy saga

JIM McGUINNESS maintained it’s more important to look forward instead of back during his first public appearance since axing two-time All Star Kevin Cassidy from his panel.

Although no official statement was made by the Donegal manager at the time, it was claimed McGuinness was unhappy with the breaching of a confidentiality agreement.

Cassidy was featured in a book titled This is our Year, written by Fermanagh journalist Declan Bogue, which chronicles a blow-by-blow account of an Ulster championship season. McGuinness was unaware of the Gweedore wing-back’s participation in the book and only first learned of its content when it was serialised locally in Donegal three weeks ago.
