I heard it from a reliable source...who heard it from an even more reliable source....who heard it from an auld lad getting a pint in coppers.

There's a rumour about Mick Sheehy . .

It's going on a bit now, but I'd prefer to see the right man in charge vs rushing it and getting someone who will put us back 4/5 years. Not sure what to think of this Pillar Caffrey rumour. Is Dublin's reject the right man for the job? Would he bring the necessary enthusiasm and does he have the tactical know how?!

Mountmellick / Grague double for me.

A good brain and a passion for Laois' progression. Kinda like a chedder, to be fair. Look how far Laois hurlers have come with pretty much the same bunch of players. We can get to Leinster finals and contest well in 4th rounds / quarters - there's no question. Just get the right man in.

No, what we're saying is, we need someone with a good tactical brain. They might be from inside the county or out. Just get someone with a good brain. It need not cost the world.

The thing is, i believe we've a fine group of players. They have huge potential. If we get a tactical expert, in addition to a decent background set up, we can realise our potential. At our highest potential, i think we're a top 8 team - that's if we're firing on all cylinders. Look what Jim m did with an average enough donegal team. I'm also convinced the likes of mayo are not all that much better than us, when it comes to raw talent. It's the system, the momentum and training. I hope we get a cheap under rated manager with passion for laois and great tactics. I know it's a long shot but it's what we should aim for. It will unlock the undeniable potential of this team. Sure, we mightn't be up with the Dublins and kerrys but there's no reason that, with a good brain in charge, that we can't make leinster finals or 4th rnd/quarters.

Heard from a very good source today, that Higgins is the board's favourite for the job.
