Allen quick to knock ‘conspiracy theories’

Outgoing Limerick hurling manager John Allen says he always intended to spend two years in charge on Shannonside, and that no “conspiracy theories” are required to explain his departure.

Allen, who led Limerick to a first Munster title since 1996 this summer, added that he feels Limerick have the capacity to win a senior All-Ireland hurling title.

“If you take the Cork job as an example, when I took that I said I’d give it one year,” he said.
