Deserves a thread of its own away from the rumours one.

I heard we're ****ed.

Discuss the issues.

My league of ireland experience. 1989 to 2014. Rip

**Mr A** · 29/01/2015, 10:50 PM

What what in the what now?

Why would you be fecked? If you've no debts (and you could have for all I know) why couldn't you carry on as amateur if it came to it?

**Lim till i die** · 29/01/2015, 10:52 PM

Amateur set ups cost money too, no backers, no ball.

**Mr A** · 29/01/2015, 10:55 PM

I bet you a million gazillion euro Limerick start the 2014 season.

**osarusan** · 29/01/2015, 11:08 PM

Best thing would be to drop out for a year, take the million gazillion from Mr. A, and get back in for 2016.

We'd be sorted.

EDIT: Wait, he said 2014.....ruined it.

And everything's alright with the world again

**Jofspring** · 30/01/2015, 5:24 PM

Get the feeling there is a slight bit of jumping the gun going on over on Facebook and Twitter.

We've gone from struggling to put out a competitive team to completely pulling out of the league within the space of 12hrs.

Hopefully this is just another cry for help and someone comes out to help the club.
If this is a cry for help tho the club are doing this the wrong way too.

Has there been any word from the club or is this all rumour?

The staff let go in Bruff doesn't seem to be a rumour. Everything else as it stands, is.

I was under the impression that the staff in Bruff were all FÁS workers on short-term contracts?

**LFC Blue** · 30/01/2015, 9:23 PM

The Bruff let go while not nice to see is hardly alarming enough to suggest the club will go out of business is it? Pat O Sullivan needs to get on 95fm and inform fans one way or the other. I'm just thankful the Markets Field development is being carried out independently from the club because it's times like this we see just how precarious it is to rely entirely on one man.

**da bishop** · 30/01/2015, 9:29 PM

Easy people,the chairman will honour his badge for this season,after that....ummm.

**bluewhitearmy** · 30/01/2015, 9:35 PM

This situation hasn't gotten this bad just overnight its just that people have just found out about it now.

**bluewhitearmy** · 30/01/2015, 9:37 PM

I'm not saying we definitely won't make the season but believe me I am not exaggerating when I say there is a very real chance we wont.

I would have trouble believing anything the club say, as I always say about anything to do with Limerick Fc- I'll believe it when I see it.

**Jofspring** · 02/02/2015, 3:40 PM

I wouldn't think it's as bad as being made out but something is needed to give us any chance of staying up this season.

If you look at it logically it looks like this.

The club need a new owner/owners/investment etc...

Pat has put in place all the structures needed for someone to take the mantel. There is a ready made club there for people to invest in. An agreement for a ground to play in (The Markets Field), a training base out in Bruff, a manager and a few players to start the season, an under 19's, a vast amount of schoolboys and academy players coming through. A good social media presence, a good website, some very good staff.

Pretty much everything people say is needed for a successful club are in place bar a few things:

A decent fan base and support from the general public, which for the self proclaimed irish capital of sport doesn't seem to be coming. What a lot people want I don't know, premier football, with a few locals in the team, playing out of a top class stadium was put on their doorstep and the support never really came. Probably better advertising in terms of billboards, posters etc... And a few more quality players. Better communication with the fans they do have is also needed. The fact most things that come out of the club tend to be bad rumours and never addressed is a problem and also the fact that anyone that questions anything the club do is basically brushed off.

All in all if there was ever a time for some people to invest in the club this is it. At the end of the season if we are in relegation all the good work over the years could be gone down the toilet.
