The quotes from Morrissey in the Leader say that he had no say in the decision making process over the past two years.
Oliver Mann admitted approving spending on the understanding that some sponsor had been secured, which fell through. They seem to be giving that as the reason for the deficit.
So with OâConnell back on the panel that is every outfield player from the 2â15 21âs on the panel and the vast majority of the 2â17 players including a ball of lads who couldnât make the team. Must be over half the panel u-23?
While exposure to senior hurling could be beneficial for some, Iâd be worried we are blocking opportunities for lads in their mid 20âs who should be scrapping for places, by throwing in lads into the panel that arenât near ready yet with the obvious problems that follow for them of burnout without getting near the team.
I believe in the old âif you are good enough, you are old enoughâ and thatâs fine for the likes of Kyle Hayes but the lads who couldnât start 21âs last year now getting flogged to death by the seniors would surely be better off given another year or two away from it.
Itâs very rare in Limerick that a lad makes a breakthrough in his mid twenties, so we have to be missing out on some decent players.
