On 7 October 2008, Meyler met the Wexford County Board to discuss plans for 2009 under the assumption that he was still manager. As the meeting unfolded it became clear that his services were no longer required and he was informed that players and the County Board no longer had confidence in his ability to manage the affairs of the team. Meyler later said that he "was told that some people didn't want me, players didn't want me and that they had lost confidence in me. Maybe I could have done things better, I accept that. But that's the way it goes."
