Managerial problems in Wexford?

So what is going on in Wexford? Manager John Meyler is angry that half back Richie Kehoe has decided to spend the summer in Boston instead of playing with the county squad in the championship.
It seems to me that there are big problems in the Model County's squad.
Around 20 young players have turned down the chance to join the squad this season while four veterans have also called it a day.
Is it just defeatism that spurred Kehoe to decide to spend the summer in the States, that the best this season will offer the relegated Wexford men is another crushing defeat at the hands of Kilkenny?
All those big losing margins of the last ten years may have finally taken their toll on the county's self belief that it can again compete with Ireland's best.
Or is there a problem in the county with the management team? I find it hard to believe that so many people have turned down the chance to play for their county otherwise.
Anyone any views on this one?
