Put players ahead of managers, says Walsh

Former Young Footballer of the Year Tommy Walsh has urged the GAA to scrap any considerations of paying inter-county managers and instead focus on assisting players.

The issue of management payment was raised in a discussion document circulated nationwide by GAA director general Páraic Duffy last month.

However, Walsh, now with AFL giants Sydney Swans, believes Croke Park chiefs could learn from their Australian counterparts when it comes to player welfare.
