Teddy: I can’t forgive those who tarnished Gerald’s name
Criticising the players who went on strike after McCarthy was reappointed in late 2008 for ‘trying to dictate how things should be done,’ he says that they were living ‘in a fantasy world’ and that the reputation of ‘a great hurling man’ was tarnished by supporters of the players’ stance.
“The players did not want Gerald as their manager. Gerald managed the team the way he thought it should be managed. He did not allow the players to dictate what should be done. They didn’t like that. They wanted to control things by choosing their own man,” the 1990 double-winning legend maintains.
