Evans will follow Premier board’s lead on payments
Two years ago, Croke Park top brass shot down moves to install Evans as Director of Football in Tipperary, which would have been an officially paid position. The Kerry native nevertheless remained in charge of the Premier County’s seniors and is also involved in the coaching of various underage teams. But despite such a heavy workload, Evans receives no official remuneration for his efforts. Following the release of Duffy’s document, Tipperary chairman Sean Nugent voiced strong opposition to any moves to pay managers.
And Evans said: “I’ve made no comment on it. Whatever the Tipperary county board decide, that’s what I go under. If that’s not payment to managers, then so be it. I’m under the umbrella of the Tipperary county board. My term is supposed to finish with them this year and we’ll see where we go from there.”
