Next Laois football manager

[High Fielder]

Did nobody on the CB think about asking him to train our U20's? I'm just adding two and two here, but obviously the Under 20 schedule won't affect his family and work commitments as much? Give me a break. Good luck to him of course, but what a kick in the hole for Laois.

Best of luck to John Sugrue

Different set of expectations on him now,kinda makes his reasons for leaving us look redundant,a pity he wasn't given anything like the wherewithal he will now have with the kingdom.

Ouch.  Some kick in the teeth for Laois some incompetence on behalf of our County Board.  That's what he thinks of Laois Football.

im sure he's eyeing Kerry senior job after this or Kerry county board are setting him in place to take over as senior boss if he delivers at u20 level .

It was sad to see him go but good luck to the man. That said, I'd be hopeful Mike Quirke can continue the good work that Sugrue built. That divisional championship was one of the best things Sugrue did here, along with back to back league promotions of course.

Best of luck to him with it. He's a good man and he'll do well there.

That's like wishing your girlfriend good luck with her next fella.

Definitely less work strain but I'm sure the truth will come out some day and it won't paint a pretty picture for our county board.

Quirke ratified tonight , still no word on back room team .

f**k him, you read his previous post.

And what did he say wrong?
That it's a kick in the teeth?
That something obviously soured Laois in Sugrue's mind, given he has stepped back into a job like this?

Not everything is a personal attack.
They are relevant points.

Former Laois manager takes role as Kerry U-20 football boss

I suspect this Kerry U20 thing has been floating around for some time. It is a huge job with massive expectations. They won 5 all Ireland minors in a row and John will be entrusted with transitioning them from minor to senior. If he does well he could well be the next Kerry senior boss with a huge haul of talent at his disposal. Compare those prospects with keeping Laois in division 2, with a very limited pipeline and resources and an unambitious county board.

He's nothing if not cute.

Enjoy the trip to watch Kerry U20's Don,  It never changes in Laois.  New man we all fawn over him, now he f**ks us and gives us two fingers we wish him well.  Could you imagine Sugrue doing it the other way what Kerry would think of him.  Wishing him well what sort of mentality is that.  No doubt Sugrue did a good job but this is self serving.  Quirke is nothing more than a club manager moving up the ladder before he takes his next job promotion with Kerry under 15's.

Why would we not wish him well? The man gave good service and clearly had a positive impact on Laois. None of us know what happened in the finish, but I'm pretty certain about the conclusion I would draw from Sugrue departing. And if I'm right, that would only make him more honourable in my opinion. That is why I wish him well, and until I hear otherwise, I can only assume that it's another own goal for Laois GAA and its officers.
