Mike McNamara: Offaly must keep faith in Brian Whelahan

He spent the 1990s plotting against Brian Whelahan and the early 2000s conspiring alongside him, all of which has convinced Mike McNamara that the Birr man will turn things around in Offaly.

Time is of the essence, however, and Team of the Millennium member Whelahan appears to be on shaky ground right now.

Offaly play Clare tomorrow — two teams that Mike Mac has managed — and should Clare win, as many expect, then Whelahan could very well be shown the exit door.
