Offaly star Niall McNamee has called for an overhaul of the Allianz Football League, something which he believes would bring about an “unbelievable improvement” for most counties.
McNamee believes that the current structure, with teams split into groups of eight across four distinct divisions, has allowed stronger counties to flourish while others have been stagnant at best.
He points to the model that was in place when he started playing with Offaly, where there were 16 teams each in Division One and Two, as a means to close the gaps that have widened from top to bottom over the past decade and more.
