Not sure where you’re hearing that? Haven’t seen that reported anywhere?

Why put out names without any confirmation of appointment?

How would it have worked anyway? Aren’t sheedy and o shea both managers? Wouldn’t it be like getting jim gavin and mick o dwyer in to manage the footballers? Why the need for both?

The rumours originated from Pat Nolan. And not for the first time he was wrong.

O’Shea worked as a coach under Sheedy in Tipperary’s All Ireland wins of 2010 and 2019.

A lot of kites in the air about Offaly DAA managers.

It's a fan forum. Why wouldn't you put names out?. The source is fairly good. Will have to wait and see what's announced.

The fans don’t nominate managers, they are debating on possible candidates.

Well what do we think of that? Seems a bit of an anti climax after all that went on. Will O Shea and Kelly be an attractive ticket for the senior hurlers ? Or would Sheedy have been too attractive a proposition to turn down the opportunity to work under?

Need to get the two Kielys from Kk back in at a minimum.

Saw this this morning.

Surprised that John Murphy isn’t featuring on this list? Thought he was ballinameres main man.

Some what concerning that more than half the list is made up of lads who have retired, or who have opted out.

No Sheedy or O Shea for the hurlers as expected not attractive enough to be down in the lower tier.
