Galway set to spread the net in search for Kernan’s successor

THERE is growing speculation in Galway that football bosses may go outside the four candidates already interviewed to take over as Joe Kernan’s successor.

It had been expected that the new County manager would be announced towards the middle of this week but football board chairman John Joe Holleran last night confirmed it may be next week before a name is submitted to delegates for ratification.

And while he confirmed that the board executive had given the interview sub-committee the power to go outside the four nominated and interviewed, he stressed that was not being done at the moment.
