In reality the next manager IMO will be Mick Lillis .

On what grounds? What has he ever done?

We need Don to stay on Gaaboard. Lets get the campaigns going!

Is he sulking?

Not trying to be a Holy Joe or anything Don, but could you please cut out the expletives in your replies. Almost every reply you post have them and to be honest does nothing for the good points you are trying to make, in fact it makes you sound like a delinquent schoolboy.
There is no need for it and I think you would be taken far more seriously if you cut it out as you are a good poster and contribute some very valid points to this forum.

I couldn't agree more. It's hard to take someone who peppers his messages with expletives so much, seriously.

Whoever takes this on has obviously a tough task, how we avoided the drop to div3 over the past couple of seasons is pure luck. An outside man is not the answer imo. The portlaoise issue is at the root to the problem in laois until that is sorted were going round in circles. This is why i would like to see some portlaoise men involved in the management team in some way. I know the argument is out there that portlaoise players don't want to be there & were better off with players who want to be there. I think we should try & entice these players back. It is after all an amateur sport . It makes no sense over the past 4/5 season, We've seen 4/5 timahoe/stradbally players in county setup & 2/3 from portlaoise. No disrespect to those clubs or players.

Have some f**king manners you, how dare you belittle Clubs who put their players forward, or the players for having the balls to step forward. f**k you and your attitude, big man from behind your username having the gall to make little of men like Eoin Culliton, Damien O Connor, Pauric Clancy, Brendan Quigley, Paul Begley, Barney Maher, Colm Kelly and Tom Shiel. I'd love to see you say it to their f**king faces. You horrible little p***k. I'd take any of these men over the Portlaoise men you seem to think more of, ones who havent the stones to take on the challenge that winning a place on an intercounty team requires. f**k enticements, the jersey is all the enticement the lads in there need.

Calm down! Everybody's entitled to an opinion.

Very good article on Mick Dempsey and the respect he has down the road.

Any chance they might approach him to return to Laois and Football?

Good man High Fielder, Huey will never be dead as long as you are around.

Great win for Westmeath yesterday, but it hammers home our early dismissal from the championship. It's galling to be sitting at home while other counties are playing away and performing heroics in Croke Park.

Is there any ambition in this county at all to do better?

Article on Hoganstand says we are likely to shop locally for a new manager. It names Joe Higgins, Tom Conroy, Chris Conway, Fergal Byron and Pat Roe as likely candidates. I hope a local appointment doesn't end in tears.

I would agree with those who suggest that a John Evans type football supremo appointment should be made.

I have every confidence that our County Board will do everything in their power to appoint someone who can "take Laois to the next level", as they did on 2013.
