O'Kelly may take on Premier football role

Former Offaly football manager Paul O'Kelly has emerged as a candidate to take over from Tom McGlinchey in the Tipperary football hotseat - just weeks after being ousted by Offaly.

Edenderry man O'Kelly was controversially sacked by midlands chiefs who voted against him but has been linked with a quick return to management.

McGlinchey stood down as boss after the Munster side's Croke Park defeat to Donegal and O'Kelly has been lined up in the meantime.
