Morgan back in bid to boost Cork fortunes
After a 40-minute discussion in which county board chairman Pat Fitzgerald pleaded for unity, there was just one dissenting voice when a vote was taken at a packed meeting of the county board. Whelahan will take up duty immediately, but the selectors will not be appointed for a further few weeks as the new manager wants to have an input.
Dave Mahedy was appointed trainer but the chairman denied recent speculation that Joe McKenna was to become a selector. He did agree, however, that McKenna would act as a liaison officer. It emerged that seven candidates had been interviewed for the position by the four-man committee set up by the county board. Chairman Fitzgerald said he was impressed by Whelahan’s approach and he had a perfect track record.
