Ryan knows Tipperary need something different

New Tipperary hurling manager Michael Ryan has vowed to put his stamp on the Premier squad.

Having previously served under Liam Sheedy and more recently Eamon O’Shea, Ryan says the Tipperary set-up “needs to be a little different” in 2016. Ryan, along with his back-room team of Declan Fanning and John Madden, were ratified at a County Board meeting on Tuesday night.

“My experience is largely based on my workings with Liam and Eamon. In terms of what to expect next, we are all different. We value different things. Our opinions on hurling might be closely aligned, but they are never identical,” Ryan told Tipp FM.
