Next Laois football manager

[GAA-SMART]

I've heard it twice in the last hour that Chris Conway has the job.

Hardly a concrete gauge but still there's no smoke without fire.

I'd be happy enough with that, heard there was an attempt for Ryan but i think Conway would do a good job.

Whoever it is needs a serious backroom team, hope they give it to a Laois man along the lines of the names suggested. We are in Division 4 and its not like there are host of brilliant external managers out there. Give it to a Conway, Higgins or someone of similar ilk who knows Laois football well and is passionate and will bring something new to the table, a young manager with plenty of enthusiasm and energy is needed. As I say whoever it is has a huge task on their hands but with a bit of support form players, supporters and CB we can hopefully get out of Div 4 and try and compete with likes of Meath and Kildare in Leinster.

I think Chris Conway would be a good choice. However, he needs to be given time to build a new team with what young talent is in the county. It would be nice to get out of Div 4 next year, but I don't think it is imperative. I would rather see 4 or 5 new players introduced and staying down, than going up with exactly the same team / panel as we have seen over the last few years. Its time to look to the future and a new team. Conway could be the man!!

Laoistoday spotted billy sheehan watching clonaslee vs mountmelick

[justinn]

Billy watched the first half then headed off, maybe to watch second half of Stradbally and Arles.

What have I been telling ye lads

What have I been telling ye lads

I don't think the current CB would have the balls to give him the job!

[town1980]

I don't think the clubs would vote him in and the players wouldn't listen to him either as I said as a player massive commitment but you couldn't listen to the chap

Both combined mean there is no way he will get the job.
The CB be terrified that
1) The clubs would say no & turn them into a laughing stock
2) He would be a failure & his "qualifications" for getting the job would be scrutinised in light of failure.

[Don Draper]

So the clubs are finally going to grow a backbone and stand up to the CB? And THIS is what they are going to make a stand on? We're fucked as a county.
