The Future for Laois Football

[Spiritof86]

Davy Burke perhaps if he doesn't get Kildare job . Tom Cribben looks favourite for that .

Don't live in Laois anymore but when I go home the biggest problem I see is apathy, not many people care , Dublin have ruined Leinster football for most other counties and there is a hopelessness that we have no chance of competing with them in the same competition and even if we make a Leinster final it's a great display to keep the beating under 10 points .
Also we've been in the all Ireland competition for 140years and haven't won it so unfortunately the chances of winning it today in a way more professional era is pretty much zero.
The weaker countries need the format to change or football will be finished in 20 counties soon .
Is there any charismatic character in the county who can drum up some enthusiasm in the county like Duignan has done in Offaly?

I don't have the time unfortunately 😂

I'm pretty sure there is someone in Laois with similar attributes .

Glen Ryan appointed Kildare manager. Could we see Davy Burke taking over Laois? Rated highly by all accounts.

Any word on a minor manager? Love to see Chris Conway get that if he was interested, a very important role. We need to bring through competitive underage teams full of athletic skillful players

Brilliant local appointment in Kildare I hate them but a passionate manager and 3 brilliant servants of Kildare gaa also I predict them going v v well

[Laois man]

Can laois not do the same 3 men that love there County.

By all accounts not one Laois man put their name forward which is regrettable to say the least. So any over critical potential options that give out if an outside man takes the mantle will carry no weight going forward.
On another note I hope the county board listen to the players and go with option B.

An interesting first post Tier 2. In your opinion, having already told us what not to criticise, why do you think there would be no internal candidates? I mean that seems inconceivable does it not? Do you mean to tell me there isn't a man or woman who doesn't want this job?

Long time watching from the sideline but as we know hurlers on the Ditch eventually need to say something or continue to grumble to themselves and slowly go mad with their own thoughts

Only 2 thoughts on why no internal candidates would apply jump to mind.

1. They have the same knowledge we all share on the short comings of the current state of Football and are not prepared to put up with the usual obstacles for now until there is a changing of the guard in the upper inner sanctum.

2. A self imposed notion of to good not to be begged and how dare I have to actually put up my hand.

I'd genuinely rather see a candidate whom stepped forward than the leftovers from another counties selection process.

Lets wait in hope for a genuinely interested candidate

[High Fielder]

I'll go a third option. The CB have proven themselves to previous candidates to be impossible to work with. Promise much and deliver nothing. I'm afraid to say that genuinely interested = how much will you pay me as far as we're concerned

I beg to differ Tier 2 . There have been a couple of Laois men that have put there name forward . The outside option will always be there but to say no Laois man has put there name forward is slightly puzzling. Whether the County Board are interested is another subject .

Also a very good possible criteria which would off put a native stepping up.
This point enforcing my point 1 in a more direct way
Well said.

It's good to debate these facts and when other information becomes available such as there in fact is Laois candidates you change stance.
I hope this information of Laois candidates is true and commend anyone willing to put the hand up.
Have you any idea which Laois candidates are in the running?

I see the leinster express had an article on this review which was recently done and with the CB since August according to them.
Proposals make sense and well warranted but will this sit next to the last review done on the same shelf with little to no implementation.
Has there been a director of football even appointed since the last departed?
