Interesting report. http://www.midlands103.com/sport-centre/ryan-to-be-appointed-in-laois/

I think this should only happen if a viable internal candidate is not found. Personally, I hope Arien Delaney gets it. A bit of fire in the belly, knows the club scene inside out and the hurlers, and should get a few more from Camross on board.

Any updates on the hurling front?

Interesting question - then this appears: https://www.laoistoday.ie/2018/08/01/a-decision-on-the-new-laois-hurling-manager-to-made-shortly/

Down to three men, reading about them all on that article shows that the selection committee have a bit of a dilemma to reach a decision.

I don't believe Arien Delaney will be proposed by the selection committee.
I have heard that an appointment is wanted before the business end of the Laois Championship and this is hampering his chances as he is committed to Shinrone.

It would be interesting to see who John McEvoy would have as part of a management team.

Disappointed to hear that regarding Delaney, whom I would take any day of the week ahead of McEvoy.
I don't see why an involvement with Shinrone until the end of their campaign would preclude him from being appointed. They are unlikely to be hurling until St Patrick's Day. If Delaney didn't see a minute's action of the Laois SHC he would still have a vastly superior knowledge of local talent, in comparison to any of the other candidates, including McEvoy.

I completely agree.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Is he still hurling with his club? Personally would have preferred a Laois man. Was anyone else willing to take the job?

I think Eddie Brennan would be a very good appointment.

Keyser Söze

Don't think it's a bad appointment. I'm sure it's not cheap but neither was Kildangan's finest!

He lost a knockout U21 game to a last minute goal. It hardly defines him. You don't get those jobs in Kilkenny without being well vetted.

There are a lot of positives to this- young, in touch with the "modern game", will want to enhance his reputation, talks sense and will command respect.
It's also worth remembering that there is no obvious successor to Cody at present and if he puts in a solid couple of years with Laois, there is no reason  that his name wouldn't be in the mix.

He's not a weary journeyman. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't enthusiastic and organised. I'd imagine he would have a good setup. He will surely attract anyone that is capable of playing for Laois. I'd imagine he will take no bullshit.

I'm delighted with it actually. Possibly even better than Delaney.
