Committee to decide new Tipp manager
A seven-man committee was set up last night to appoint a new football manager in Tipperary.
The Tipperary football board met last night and, during a heated meeting, decided to choose a committee to oversee the appointment of a successor to Andy Shorthall.
Shortall and his selectors resigned during the summer in protest at the fixing of a club hurling tie involving two members of the football panel just days before Tipperary were due to play Fermanagh in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
Two people whose names have been linked with the job, Seamus McCarthy and Peter Lambert, attended the meeting, as did the county's All Star attacker Declan Browne.
