'It was actually my wife who said late last year that they had nobody, ‘Why don’t you apply for that job?’ Think she was trying to get rid of me!'
Waterford football boss Paul Shankey has admitted that he went for the job following encouragement from his wife.
“So I reached out to the county board, had a couple of meetings with them so it really was a last minute decision, it wasn’t something I had looked into for years.” “No, I wouldn’t fear that at all. I don’t know where that came from, at club level it is quite healthy. If Rathgormack or The Nire were playing Castlehaven or Nemo there’d be very little in it.
Shankey added: “Historically the lads don’t have any fear. Some of the games it looks like we got hammered but we missed an awful lot in some of those matches.
