It has been reported in today's newspapers that former Dublin football manager Kevin Heffernan was close to making a dramatic return to inter county management with the Dublin hurlers.
Heffo along with former dual player Mick Holden and former manager Marty Morris were to team up to take charge of the crises ridden county hurlers.
However, the plan was scuppered when opposition to the involvment of Morris emerged.
It is believed that Heffo has since shelved the idea of getting involved in any capacity.
Meanwhile Dublin County Board chairman John Bailey has said that he never had any plans to take over the management of the team.
He said that he attended training last Thursday to accomodate a training session under an interim managment set up.
Players refused to train and subsequently issued a statement explaining that they would not play until a satisfactory manager was put in place.
