JBM exit reports are ‘rubbish’, blasts Ryan

Cork chairman Bob Ryan has dismissed rumours suggesting the existing senior management team is about to step down.

Ryan maintains nothing has changed since last week, when he revealed members of the executive intended speaking to Jimmy Barry-Murphy about his future plans on his return from holidays abroad.

It is their wish that the 1999 All-Ireland-winning manager remain at the helm and there is a strong degree of confidence he will agree to a fourth year in charge, having completed his three-year term in August.
