Roe laments Laois job wait

PAT ROE has described the delay in appointing a Laois senior football manager as ‘bizarre’.

Roe, the county U21 boss, has described himself as the ‘best man’ to replace Sean Dempsey and has called on the county executive to act quickly. He said: “It’s bizarre that it’s taking so long. The nominations closed last Friday week but there has been nothing done since and the vacuum has been filled by rumours and that isn’t a good situation.

“Obviously the county executive can take as long as they want and they want to get it right but I believe I’m the best man for the job.”
