Clare Hurling Board Chairman Michael O'Neill says that round-table discussions between his board, the senior county management team and the players were ongoing and a couple of weeks will be needed to get a consensus on the way forward for the hurlers.O'Neill has acknowledged that a "note" has been received from the players regarding Mike McNamara's management team but he has refused to divulge its contents. "With this problem, you must give it time," O'Neill told the Irish Examiner. "You mustn't overreact, you must make sure you get a balanced view from everyone. That's what I'm trying to do to deal with matters internally, not out in the media glare, and try to solve things in an amicable fashion. We, the county board are running affairs, and doing it to the best of our ability.
"If people aren't happy with that, they can take us out in convention and put someone else in. We try to do our work as honestly as possible. I think everyone does, but with so many strong characters in every branch of every county, so many strong views, that can create its own problems. On the basis of what we had done in the first year, Mike was appointed last year in good faith. Everyone seemed reasonably happy with that, at the time. He got two years and that term still has one year to run."
