I can't answer that.
My understanding is that a Laois man is preferred but that 'outsiders' would be considered. I also understand that we are looking for a package (manager, coaches, selectors etc) rather than an individual.

Clubs were asked to nominate people who were interested. I believe Mick Lillis was one such nomination.

It will be interesting to see who is on the selection committe. I hope they have free rein to approach names above and beyond those candidates put forward by the clubs.

Very interesting Merman. I would agree with you about having the permission to go outside the candidates put forward if it ensures we get the best person possible because to be honest i'm not sure how serious the clubs take the nomination process.

What's the point in going to the clubs in the first place if the selection committee can ignore their nominations.
I don't know much about Lillis but I gather by some comments he wouldn't be universally loved.

OTF your misunderstanding me, i'm not saying ignore the club nominations. what i'm saying is why limit the search for the best possible candidate. take those nominations and also put the feelers out to see if outside candidates would be available.

I understand you ok HP, I'm saying whats the point in going to the clubs.

Just wondering how would the Portlaoise players feel about Lilis.

Does anybody know of any other local candidates being consider?

[Unlaoised]

I heard Chris Conway and Mick Lawlor were being considered Im not sure together or what way.

I also heard former Roscommon and Tipperary manager John Evan's was interviewed but that could be just pub talk.

Current Roscommon manager ??

I keep having this nightmare that someone like Luke Dempsey gets the job!!!

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

I heard John Sugrue is very much in the running for the job, Chris Conway not interested.
Sugrue has managed the Kerry U-21s in the past and lives and works in Portlaoise.

Was John Sugrue involved with a Laois team already or was he mentioned recently.

Not sure that's the appointment that would inspire all our best players to commit to the county set-up. Then again I can't think of any top class managers who would want to take us on.

Sugrue trained Kerry to an All Ireland in 2008 I think when they beat cork. That experience alone can't be dismissed. He was part of Justin McNulty's back room team also.
