All Star Sheehan insists players and managers must be rewarded

Kerry’s Bryan Sheehan says inter-county players — and managers — should be rewarded for their efforts.

The 2011 All Star midfielder supported the proposal for top level managers to be remunerated for their services but was adamant players will have to be looked after in some form.

He told Radio Kerry: “This is an amateur sport and I think it’ll probably have to stay amateur but at the same time I think there has to be some contribution made towards players and management for the amount of effort they are making. Professionalism probably isn’t the way to go but again there are ways around this and how it can be done.”
