Kiely wants ‘ruthless’ boss to save Offaly

Offaly hurling defender Cillian Kiely has called on officials to appoint a ‘no-bullshit’ non-native manager, possibly from Kilkenny, to get them back on track. The once mighty Faithful had a disastrous summer and were relegated from the Joe McDonagh Cup to the third tier Christy Ring Cup.

Kevin Martin was sacked as manager in May and replaced by an interim management team that broke up after the McDonagh Cup.
