McGeeney set to meet Kildare chairman again

Kieran McGeeney is to have another meeting with Kildare GAA chairman, John McMahon before a decision is made on whether or not he will see out his second three-year term as senior football manager in 2013.

There had been speculation that McGeeney’s re-appointment would be confirmed at last night’s monthly board meeting after McMahon had indicated last week that a decision would be made very shortly.

Instead, the pair are to have an “imminent” meeting, but the issuing of a detailed breakdown on team expenses last night could well pave the way for McGeeney to stay on.

It is understood McGeeney indicated his desire to McMahon that these figures would be made public, as he has been angered by suggestions that the senior set-up is at the root of Kildare’s serious financial problems.

A meeting of the county executive with the chairmen and secretaries of Kildare’s clubs last week revealed that €525,000 had been spent by the county board on its seven teams this year.

However, the U21 hurlers are still to play their All-Ireland A final.
