Harte not expecting much change

by Oli Skehan , 07 August 2011

Long-serving Tyrone manager Mickey Harte is not expecting wholesale changes for next year despite his side's mauling by Dublin at GAA headquarters on Saturday evening.


The Red Hand men simply had no answer for Dublin's sublime scoretaking, accurate passing, sure handling and solid defending and in the end were flattered to be within seven points of the capital's footballers.

"There will be no wholesale turnover and as you would look through the team that started today, there are not many elder statesmens that started the game today," Harte said.

"So leave everybody to make their own decisions in their own time.

"I suppose it is inevitable when people have been playing at the top level for 10, 11 or 12 years that they may have to consider what they are doing.

"But this is not the time to consider that and I certainly would respect them to make their own mind up on things like that."

Harte also poured cold water on suggestions that he might call it a day with the O'Neill County, adding: "I'm there next year anyway. There's no contract or anything else but I agreed to be going on for another year so I don't see any reason why that would change."
