Unfortunately the rot has already set in, TOF was a joke manager, Lillis was dreadful & Creedon unfortunately was a gamble who has not worked out. The CB and most of Laois Football fail to realise that we are going to have to think outside the box to start to rebuild. Poor performance on the pitch = less support and money. This means we are unable to put more development coaches out into our big towns, Players commit for a few months then just give up. Do people honestly think we're going to get better without doing something radical. Yes the answer is we should get rid of our manager as this guy is clearly a waste of our time and money. We cannot afford to spend 5 years rebuilding we need green shoots of recovery fast. We are into our fifth year of regression so I think we have wasted enough time.
Mad stuff here!
So after 4 league games Creedon has already not worked out and a waste of time and money?? 4 games!
Radical thinking, think outside the box....or maybe just do what has got us any bit of success we've had over the last 20 years. Start producing underage quality again!
No worse than whats gone on for the last 5 years, for 5 years people have been saying things are going to turn around they have not, more like a whole lot worse. You can't produce underage quality on the money given to County Boards by Leinster Council & Croke Park. The O Moore Park development while positive is no advantage every county in Ireland got one. We need more games development officers, however that's not going to happen without money. Senior Teams, U21 teams & minor teams have been dreadful , end result raising money is not happening. We need results on the field to get the vibe going thats why Creedon is doing untold damage. This is not entirely of his making but unfortunately he can not lift us from it. Cut the cord sooner rather than later, we are only wasting time. Portarlington, Portlaoise, Graigue & Mountmellick are providing poor returns on population. We need to do something radical to get back into these towns.
I'm pretty sure for the last 5 years people have been predicting exactly where we are now! Who's been saying things will turn??
Look unfortunately we are at our level now. This is not Creedon's fault, he's only been working with the players for about 4 months. He needs to be given a chance, unless you have someone better in mind???
I accept playing for Laois may not be the 'cool' thing to do for a young lad in Laois anymore, but there was also no success to speak of in counties like Monaghan, Cavan, Roscommon or Tipperary before they got their acts together.
And we happen to have some of the main people in the Tipp story in Laois now. But maybe we should just get rid of him!!
