We have a lot of players that played in the premier division and will know what to expect i think that will be an advantage to limerick i think a few will go Pat purcell will be past that level for sure and a few others but at least been in the premier will attract better players.
Ya Paddy with another good centre half definitely has a few years in the premier in him. He needs a quicker centre back partner but he is fitter than I ever saw him.
purcell still the best centre half in the division and will comfortably hold his own if and when premier comes calling once he stays fit.

With that Monaghan team winning the ea cup over the weekend i wouldnt be too sure about our future with the current management in charge.
If we go up id say he will be in charge but in the past Dundalk sacked john Gill when they got promoted (Limerick beat them 3 out of 4 that season with a group of kids) Others would have had us promoted 2 seasons ago with the effort that Pat O'Sullivan, staff and volenteers have put in over the years

21.....from a possible 96 points
Exactly, it begs the question why people think we will suddenly start putting away sides at home or away that we will be coming across in the Prem when all evidence so far suggests otherwise. Strongly.
I remember 95FM guy saying to Scully after the recent defeat at home to Waterford, that everything would be OK and forgotten if they could make amends and get it all back on track the following weekend against Mervue. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and if the interviewer was actually unaware or just not being allowed to ask the real questions.
The only thing that gives me some optimism on that score is the wins over Cork and Bray in the League Cup this season. Limerick can raise their game when they want to. I was at that Bray game, and it wasn't a case of the home team not caring, at least from my perspective.
I think Limerick could live with any of the bottom five in the PD when it comes right down to it.

In fairness, your team should technically be well capable of holding their own in the Premier. The only weak point in the team is the backline. That's about it as far as I see.

Not much point Waterford or Longford beaten limerick if they cant beat the teams below them and get promoted, limerick will be have nom problems in the premier division.
