Liam Sheedy has weighed in on the ongoing conflict between Galway's hurlers and manager Anthony Cunningham.

Speaking at yesterday's Club Limerick breakfast morning, the Tipperary All-Ireland manager admitted that if he were in Cunningham's position he would resign, despite the fact that the Tribesmen were just 35 minutes away from an All-Ireland title two months ago.

"I don't know the ins and outs or the goings on and it is a pity that it ever gets to this situation in any sport, but ultimately, if I found myself in a situation where my dressing room has lost trust in me, I would go," Sheedy said.

"I would go to those involved and I would say, 'if ye don't want me and I am surplus to requirements, I am out of here'. That is a personal view of mine. It is really interesting to see how it develops (in Galway). It is certainly not nice to be in that situation.

"It is hard to fathom. He has brought through some players in the past 12 months that were not featuring. Some of them played in their first All-Ireland, some of them won their first All Star. They were 35 minutes away from winning an All-Ireland title. Certainly, as a manager, if you can get yourself into a situation where you are three points up at half-time in an All-Ireland final, I'd take the hand off you right now. They certainly put themselves in a winning position. To me, they lacked leadership on the pitch in the second half."
