Ins and Outs.

[bluewhitearmy]

Some players think that they should get an increase every season no matter what has happened that season. Not saying any of the lads mentioned have im just going on previous seasons and talking to players.

Players should get an increase if the team has been successful or they themselves have stood out as having a great season. So if it is that they want more money i can understand why the club aren't too willing. Can also understand the players looking out for themselves of course. Hopefully some sort of agreement can be met because it would be awful to have to change almost the entire squad.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Such a debate doesn't surprise me really. Even on here we've been talking about whether Limerick over or under achieved this season, so maybe something like that is also occurring in contract talks.

But speculation on matters related to greed or stinginess is pointless without knowing the exact figures involved.

[Two Feet Up]

He seems annoyed at the fact the club have made it out that it was their decision to release him when what i heard happened was that Joe told the club a few weeks before the end of the season that he didn't want a new contract and he wouldnt be staying because of the travelling. Now that is just what i have been told i have no idea if its true.

If that is true then i cant see why the club couldnt just say that Joe was leaving because he couldnt commit to travelling anymore but either way its definitely an over reaction by Joe which is a pity as it stains the good work he did for the club and the fact that he was always a lovely fella off the pitch.

Jeff Judge not happy either:
Wow that Taylor talks some rubbish what an absolute hamster #stealingaliving (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23stealingaliving&src=hash)

Also heard from another player, that Taylor is not what he is made out to be and his man management would not be his biggest asset (to say the least). I suppose that there is no smoke without a fire.

I heard from 3 or 4 people who told me he was going to get sacked soon... There is absolutely no chance of the club sacking him after such a short time in charge.
Seriously, could you imagine sacking the manager after 1 year in charge? We'd be a laughing stock and even with Pat O'Sullivan's deep pockets, I don't think we could afford to go down that road of paying (rumoured) big wages to managers and sacking them if they didn't deliver in the first year.
I think a lot of Irish players will struggle with a new mentality like Taylor's, which is where that man management thing has probably come from.

[bluewhitearmy]

Its all who you talk to i suppose as ive been told by others that Taylor is very good and funnily enough man management was the point they said he was strongest with. Time will tell how good or not he is. I have had my doubts through the season tbh. Has no excuses like lack of pre-season or not knowing the players for next season so we will see what he is really made of.

[Jofspring]

Having played football and managed in it I've seen both sides of it. When a manager is praising players and being a nice as pie he is the best manager in the world but as soon as he is realistic with them or maybe tells them their performances haven't been as good as they think then suddenly he is the worst in the world.

The club is at a higher level now and next season there is going to be a higher demand of success from the fans, pat o Sullivan and the general public around limerick so the pressure is on Taylor. If the team fail to improve next season then the blame will land at him and not the players so he has every right to cut the cloth as he sees fit and use his budget best he feels he can.

Only time will tell if he is going about his business right.

In my opinion he can seem like a bit of a spoofer at times but if you look at some f the signings he made he did well. Curran, Oji, Williams, Galbraith, Nzuzi and Folan are all vey good signings while he made probably only one very poor one in Aaron Browne.

Limerick In:

Mick Leahy (UCD)

Very good signing.

Don't know much about him any info on him??

www.limerickfc.ie have good info there on him.

He has been the UCD captain and has played for them for the last 4 years.

[bluewhitearmy]

Very good signing for us he is their best player imo and they bring through some top loi players. He was their captain the last 2 seasons i think very solid defender that is also quite comfortable on the ball. Will suit the way we tried to play out from the back last season. Pleased with this one i have to say.

Been told he had no shortage of offers too which is good.

[kingpin4]

Excellent signing in my books. Slightly worrying that Taylor mentioned it as if he's instead of Oji though. We could really do with a 4 quality CBs

[gael353]

So no mention of shane tracy, rory gaffney, pat nzuzi, sam oji, david o'leary and Stephen mcgann as of yet. Need a striker, a midfielder over 5, 8 please and at least one more ch to supplement the two *#$@$ s

[Jofspring]

The fact there hasn't been a word on Oji and the talk is of Leahy partnering Folan I wouldn't bet on him signing.

O'Leary, Nzuzi and Gaffney would be a priority in my eyes.

[CraftyToePoke]

Any news on O'Leary and his UK trial at all ? Preston wasn't it.

Don't think anything came of it in the end.

daryl Horgan not signing for cork I hear would be just what we need.. not much happening at the moment it is a little bit worrying..

We were in for him, he wont be coming here.

Signed Mick Leahy along with Barry Ryan and Barry Sheedy in the last week. Close to two more according to Taylor.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Limerick fans might have noticed some talk about Axel Bossekota in the last little while, mostly on Twitter. He seems open to a return, claiming that things just weren't "sorted out" with the club (paraphrasing his words a little bit), and such sentiment seems to have some support from the fanbase. I'm not even sure where Axel is right now (I assume he doesn't have a club) or what the exact issue was with the club, but do people think it might be a good idea to bring him back in when the opportunity arises?

Personally I'm not so sure. He was decent but he seemed to only really play to the best of his ability in a handful of games, and his goal return wasn't anything too spectacular (admittedly, a common problem with the attackers last season).

[Charlie Darwin]

Didn't Bossekota make it clear he was going to Europe to look for a new contract during the winter? I don't know whether that was his decision or because he was told he wasn't needed.

[NeverFeltBetter]

If it was his decision, he's changed his tune a bit, starting last week. I guess the Europe plans didn't work out.

If not, then I guess he's just fishing.

It's a little bit embarrassing at this point. He's thinking he'll have the fans crying out for him. Needs to just forget it and move on. Saying that, I'd rather we signed him than McManus.

[sadloserkid]

I wouldn't be in any rush to take him back.

Anthony Elding has left Cork... I know he's a bit of a hot head, but he would be a very good option for us as a goal threat and would be a good replacement for Curran too.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I'd heard Taylor isn't interested in Elding, for the exact reason that he was worried what happened at Cork would happen in Limerick.
