REVEALED: This is who the Offaly Express readers want as the next Offaly football boss

REVEALED: This is who the Offaly Express readers want as the next Offaly football boss

Yesterday, after learning the news of Pat Flanagan's departure as Offaly Senior Football manager, we ran a poll to find out who the Offaly Express readers would choose as his replacement.

Over 1,000 votes were cast and with 21% of the vote, former Rhode and Offaly great Paschal Kelleghan came out on top ahead of James Stewart on 15%.

Perhaps unexpectedly, former Mayo manager James Horan was third on the list with 13% while Peter Brady, who was so successful as a player and later a manager with Edenderry, was next on 12%.

Stephen Darby rounded out the Top 5 choices of the Offaly Express reading public on 11%.
