Mick Slocum wants Cork football think-tank

Former Cork footballer Mick Slocum has implored county board top-brass to consult with the most experienced heads in Cork football before appointing Peadar Healy’s successor.

Having fallen at the fourth round qualifier for the past three years, the current Cork football model, according to Slocum, clearly isn’t working. A different approach is required and Slocum has called on the board to reach out to the likes of Billy Morgan, Larry Tompkins and Graham Canty to thrash out a system to return Cork as realistic Sam Maguire contenders.

Issues surrounding training facilities and the Cork football budget also need to be ironed out, added Slocum, before the board executive conducts a single interview to fill the vacant managerial position.
