Daly: time to formalise payments for managers

DUBLIN hurling manager, Anthony Daly, has called on Croke Park to end what he has described as “wordplay” and formalise the payment of coaches and managers at club and county levels.

Director General Páraic Duffy indicated on Monday that the GAA may indeed have to bow to the inevitable and put a structure in place which would allow managers to be paid whilst still adhering to the amateur ethos of the association.

Daly would agree and he pointed to the difficulties Tipperary have experienced in their attempt to appoint John Evans as their Director of Football as well as senior football manager as an example of where the GAA is going wrong.
