Murphy hits out at Galway selection process
Mattie Murphy has spoken out about what he deemed a campaign against him by delegates in Galway.
Murphy earlier this week had his nomination for the vacant Galway hurling manager’s job rejected by club delegates and has since withdrawn his name from the running.
Murphy had only allowed his name to go forward because the manager selection process had been changed.
However, since then, Murphy has claimed he has been undermined by an unnamed member of the County Board and a prominent member of the Galway Supporters’ Club.
"I allowed my name to go forward on the understanding the selection process was changed and that committee appointed were given the role of selecting the person from those nominated by the clubs.
"I have always felt that the previous method of appointing a manager was divisive and not in the best interest of Galway hurling. After their appointment a number of efforts were made to compromise some members of the committee," said Murphy.
