    Na we may as well pack it in now because obviously since it has happened to others its definitely going to happen to us.

    The schoolboy set up and a big, massive, stadium would disappear if Pat O'Sullivan pulled out mid season??

    Is there anything on earth to suggest he'd pull out mid season??

    Or to suggest that such a pull out would close the club mid season?? (it wouldn't because of the club structure fwiw)

    "could well"

    I'm starting to feel a bit dirty for engaging again.

    Look this isn't the thread for debating idle speculation with people who are purely guessing.

    It's a thread for Limerick getting into the Premier the division.

    I'll tell you what this time next year we'll set up an "I told you so" thread where people can stick their tongue out at me or I can stick my tongue out at them, depending on whats gone on in the meantime.

    Fair Enough??

    Also, for the record, I'm really looking forward to my trips to The Showgrounds (we're guaranteed to get two away fixtures against all the big clubs)

    Lee Jays relations do be telling me about the setup at the ground and I like what they've done with the town up there.

    Stay in the Riverside Suites on the cheap, get locked in that really dark nightclub, you just don't get that kind of thing away to Wexford.

    Last time I stayed overnight in Wexford we never left the pub next to the hotel. Didn't get as far as the town centre.

    Most clubs are dependent on a frighteningly small core of people to keep the show on the road. Limerick may be a bit more extreme than many of the rest, but the vast majority of us are on the same tightrope.

    Are limerick in even greater peril if the one person has to pay on two fronts so!!!

    I dont think anyone is being preachy. More of a 'where have seen this before' opinion.

    Limerick have yet to kick a ball in a PD match, and we can already see how the s**t is gonna hit the fan on them? they've really made it up to the big league
    For once maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding "you're making a scene."

    You haven't seen 'this' before, because you can't even be sure what 'this' is...

    if Limerick balls it up, then thats their problem. Until then...

    As for the 'Until then... ' bit. You sound like youre expecting it to happen?

    Who owns them and who owns the club?
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    An Irish business man pumping money into a club as a whole.....a first team, under 19's, academy from under 4's right up to 13's, a ground, training facilities, community projects etc....

    That to best of my knowledge has never been done before with regards to Irish business men and LOI clubs and is were there is a difference.

    Most Irish businessmen who have put money into LOI clubs have done so with the best of intentions and without seeking any return. The league NEEDS businessmen to invest. You've no clue about O'Sullivan's intentions, that was my points

    As for the 'Until then... ' bit. You sound like youre expecting it to happen?
    Nope. Merely saying that if it happens you can say what you like, but until then idle speculation is pointless
