Next Laois football manager

[BallyroanAbu]

You have a point.

Makes no difference 1 or 20, if he does a good job then give him the 20 years

Sugrue comes in for the year and now has a 1 year plan in place,short termism isnt the way to go be it management in sport,politics or business.

After 4 managers in 4 years,It was important for the CB to be seen to back their man.

He had looked for more than 1 year to put his structures in place and was knocked back,a great start.

[Keyser Söze]

I really don't think it matters what length of "contract" these managers get. If they do well, they stay on. If they don't, and there are question marks around discipline, preparation or other management related matters, they get "let off".

The clever thing to do would have been to privately assure Sugrue of his security, and present him to the county board meeting as our manager for the foreseeable future. Putting a length of term on a GAA manager is pointless.

Unlike others gone before him he has the background, experience and I believe he has as much of vested interest as is possible for a non-insider. He has worked with Laois Senior footballers before and was deemed good enough by the players. There is no reason he won't be a success- relative to what "success" means for us.

Has a minor management been put in place?

I'd say they have to wait until the under 17 is over in case the incoming manager might actually spot someone.

[OTF]

Is there minor next year , I thought minor was finished.

Minor continues on with age limit dropping to under 17

[Uisce]

Wow, only kind of dawns on you the standard in division 4 when you see the fixtures laid out like that!

[Unlaoised]

Nice to have Antrim at home...

London away is great trip I went with the hurlers a few years back was great banter.

Carlow is good one to have away because its so close.

Limerick is nice one to have at home as I think they will be our main threat.

wicklow away could be sticky.

Waterford at home should be 2 points in the bag

Leitrim at home would have been nicer but we can't have it all
