Brian mulls over Dublin job

Dublin football legend Brian Mullins is to decide whether he is ready to succeed Tommy Lyons as manager of the county's football team.

The Dublin county board confirmed yesterday: "The preferred candidate has been offered the position and will communicate his final decision to the county committee next week."

Mullins is the only candidate thought to be in the frame. Mullins could appoint former Dublin players Tommy Drumm and Mick Galvin as his selectors.
