McGuinness: Calendar must be tweaked to accommodate clubs

Jim McGuinness has called for all football calendars to be condensed so that clubs have exclusive access to their county players for longer periods of time.

The Donegal manager believes the clubs’ decision earlier this year to postpone the championship until the end of the county’s All-Ireland senior campaign has paid dividends, as much as he suggested two rounds of games be played in April and May.

“That decision has brought us to the All-Ireland final,” he maintains.
