Armagh face Fermanagh this weekend with McGeeney entering his 10th successive Championship as Orchard manager
Armagh captain Aidan Forker has given his backing for Kieran McGeeney to continue as manager into next season.
Speaking at the recent launch of the Ulster Senior Football Championship, which was held prior to Armagh’s Division Two final defeat to Donegal, Forker doesn’t believe this is their last chance to win an Ulster title under McGeeney.“Why would Kieran not be there next year when we are a Division One team and lets be a bit better than we were last year in division?
“So the same sort of model - why would we get rid of all what Kieran knows about the group and the players he helped to create alongside everyone who has supported him and not go at it together? And to me it should be Kieran’s decision whether he wants to.” Armagh suffered a penalty shootout loss to Derry in last season’s Ulster final and haven’t won an Ulster title since 2008.
“As a player I’m pretty adamant you play football at this level to win especially when you are playing,” said Forker.
