Cleary touted as English replacement

Speculation is growing that former All-Ireland winner Michael Cleary is poised to take over from Nicky English as Tipperary manager.

English is believed to be on the verge of departing as Tipp boss and Cleary, currently Camogie manager in the Premier County, is the clear favourite.

Also in line are selectors Ken Hogan and Jack Bergin while Tipp native and current Antrim boss Dinny Cahill is also a possibility.
