Public blood-letting will not help Clare in latest stand-off

MOVES against county mangers is a relatively new phenomenon in the GAA.

Without being very close to the scene it is hard to comment on particular cases. Nevertheless, it is something that I don’t enjoy or wouldn’t encourage.

However, it seems certain that if proper lines of communication between all parties, management, players and county boards were in place this all too-frequent development would be nipped in the bud.
