It's no doubt that Lavelle wants to stay within football circles long after his retirement. It's been a dream of his (a pipe one currently) to own the Dublin Shamrocks franchise. Whether they end up a future NSFL or DSFL expansion team is irrelevant. Regardless if it's dealing with rookies , veterans or a mix, Lavelle would love to head the franchise.
Unfortunately as it stands, Lavelle's post in Head Office means he would have to resign from his position in order to head the franchise of his dreams. When the time comes following Lavelle's retirement, he will have a tough choice to make but regardless it will be supported by all his friends and family, including his son Dermot Lavelle Jr. who is said to share his fathers passion for the game.
Alternatively Lavelle may slot in to a possible NSFL agent role, by helping players negotiate their contracts and earn what they are worth. His job would also be to prevent future NSFL lockouts as well as rookie holdouts following their drafted position , similar to what we seen with the S2 Gregor Clegane situation. While an agent role might be interesting Lavelle could even end up in a talent agency role, guiding new rookies to reach their full potential in the league.
