Liam Sheedy: ‘If players didn’t want me, I’d walk’

Liam Sheedy has expressed bewilderment at the ongoing conflict between the Galway hurling team and Anthony Cunningham, insisting that he would walk away from a managerial position if he lost the trust of his dressing room.

Tipperary’s 2010 All-Ireland winning-manager is a firm believer in the mantra that “players play, managers manage’ and cannot understand the current stand-off, given the Tribesmen were 35 minutes from All-Ireland glory two months ago.

“I don’t know the ins and outs or the goings on and it is a pity that it ever gets to this situation in any sport, but ultimately, if I found myself in a situation where my dressing room has lost trust in me, I would go,” Sheedy said at yesterday’s Club Limerick breakfast morning.
