Waterford’s resounding ‘no’ to pay for county managers

Waterford County Board delegates last night gave an emphatic thumbs down to the payment of county team managers.

The decision supporting fully the implementation of present GAA rules, and nothing other than the payment of normal travel and other expenses, will be conveyed to Croke Park today and will form the basis of Waterford’s official stance when the matter comes up for discussion at a meeting inheadquarters later in the month.

Opposition to the concept of payment to team managers was headed up by former Waterford chairman Paddy Joe Ryan, the county’s official representative on Central Council.
