I think he is.

Yeah, he's been in and out a lot.

There was one or two years maybe where he wasn't and then he came back.

So, you know, he knows the club scene very, very well.

And, you know, but that's their role on the field.

I'd imagine, I wouldn't see it because it's behind closed doors.

I'd imagine, you know, when they're sitting down with John, when it comes tactically picking teams on the day of games, if they see something, I presume that's where they add

an awful lot of their value as well as in terms of saying to John like John John doesn't keep a fella like you know Alan Cunningham around for 10 years if he doesn't trust him and trust his hurling brain uh Donal O'Grady left and was the minor manager for a year they asked him to come back again so that's another you know straight away that tells you John wanted him back and valued him being there so all those little things are all the one percents you know the one percents do get talked about a lot I often like to say people talk about one percents the

Carolines all these people in the background the players are the 99% you know what I mean so they're still the most important and if you put all that management team in with another county they're not going to win that Ireland if it was a lower down county if you know what I mean but obviously they're very good when it comes to JAP look in one way I'm kind of wasting my breath for people listening because some people would just have the narrative that JAP just throws money at Limerick when I can tell you that's just not true

I can tell you from my own experience of winning an All-Ireland in 2018, we were brought into a room a week or two after, and we were told, we have to finance this halde ourselves.

We have to go, we have to run this event, we have to run this golf classic, lads have to come here, you have to be there with a couple of, you know,

We've a couple of hands to go and shake kind of a thing.

We have to go to these dinners, all these different things that had to be done to fundraise money.

So JP obviously is an incredibly, incredibly smart man, a smart individual.

And I think he knows for a reason that if he does try and money, if he gets a blank check to limit you every year,

What would that do with us?

Softness.

Exactly, yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

It would be like if you gave a young fella a child, one of your child, to spoil the child.
