Bonnar: English and Sheedy obvious targets

Former Wexford hurling boss Colm Bonnar says it would be pointless for anybody to give consideration to the Tipperary hurling manager’s job until Nicky English and Liam Sheedy are sounded out first.

In addition to former Tipp managers English, Sheedy and Ken Hogan, the names of ex-Tipperary players Bonnar, John McIntyre, a former Offaly and Galway supremo, Michael Cleary and former Tipp selector Eamonn O’Shea have been mentioned as possible successors to Declan Ryan.

However, English steered Tipperary to All-Ireland title glory in 2001 and Sheedy achieved the feat in 2010.
