Perfect, we'll give you O'Halloran instead.

I'd rather we signed Wayne Colbert for there (should be at the club anyway tbh), Greg O'Halloran probably isn't good enough for our midfield.

He is not good enough for any midfield.

So, unfortunately he had to lay off 80 workers, all of whom had wives and small, sick, children.

And it's O'Sullivan.

You're very defensive of Limericks playing budget.

Ever think it might not be the budget but the personal lies about Pat O'Sullivan who is not just doing great work for Limerick FC but also for the city of Limerick that he is defensive about.

what lies?

no one is saying anything about him personally - just saying that the model hasn't proven sucessful in the past

But as LTID says in the other thread Pat O Sullivan is doing a lot more for the club than just pumping wages into the first team. People are commenting like this is the model the club are following and Pat is doing nothing more than throwing ridiculous money at players without looking at the facts.

instead of me having to look for it in some other thread, what else is he bringing to the table for Limerick?

Just interested by the way, genuinely dont know.

Id find it personal people saying that he has let 5 people go from his company to fund the players.

His company is nothing to do with football or Limerick FC in any case but the story is lies.

Edit:Sk this is what he has done

Instituted a prison programme
Began weekly school visits
Set up numerous community programmes
Founded an Academy for kids aged between 2 and 10 (hoping to take on 11 and 12 year olds next year)
Attempted to enter schoolboy teams but have been repeatedly denied permission
Set up a UL Bursary scheme
Entered a reserve team
Took the FAI to court to win the right to play friendlies in Thomond Park
Sponsored numerous Junior clubs in the city and county
Secured the Markets Field

So what funds Limerick FC?

I didn't say it was the sold truth either, I simply heard it as a rumour and asked if it were true. If you're 100% sure this is true then there is no problem and the rumour is quashed. Isn't it?

I know its the money he has made from his companies that run Limerick but in my view stories like that should not be mentioned in a discussion about signing a player(that we haven't even said we have signed).

Id love to know where you heard this rumour.

Pat O Sullivan The main one obviously but also,
Season Ticket and Match Ticket Sales
Half Time Draws
Limerick FC Lotto
Vantage Raffle
Sponsors (Match Day, Match Ball, Advertising on Jersies and Match Program)
And in the Future hopefully decent friendlies in Thomond Park along with other fundraisers.
