Kieran McGeeney and Jim McGuinness using their box office attraction to accumulate finances 

The GAA rivalry between McGuinness and McGeeney is no longer just about tactics — it’s about fundraising, optics and control

GREAT ACCUMULATORS: Jim McGuinness and Kieran McGeeney drive the fundraising required for their sides success. 

In this second coming of Jim McGuinness, Kieran McGeeney has yet to prove his rival infallible. Four times they have faced off and the Donegal manager has yet to be licked.

The margins are gossamer, though. On two of those occasions, they were square after regulation time, once after extra-time. The cup that each currently has in his possession is what the other craves and McGeeney will have the first move on Saturday.
