Stuart Taylor and Lims part ways.

How did the Limerick board see the league table finishing when they were finishing fourth? Seventh last season and have lost twice as many players this season as were brought in

They more than likely had this aim before Taylor made an absolute balls up of the budget he was given.

I wish Agent Taylor had stayed tbh. Swapping Shane Duggan for Dave O'Leary was a great bit of business for us.

How many games has O'Leary started for ye? I thought Caulfield had him glued to the subs bench?

I said arguably harsh. :-) Based on whats befallen Hibs since more than anything. Dont get me wrong, if I was a Hibs fan personally I would have organised a torch wielding mob to run him out of town.

Charlie I'm kinda done arguing about Limerick with a Shamrock fan. The board budgeted for fourth, as of last night we re fifteenth or sixteenth. (I havent looked at league table in ages) Geoghraphy lessons and genetically superior children aside, (actually, on the genetically superior children theres been so much money thrown at our under 19s over the last three or four year we could have fielded a team made of faberge eggs and solid gold and its taken the fai fannying around with the structures to get us out of the bottom tier, more wastage.) we are underachieving in a big way. Now the idea of this seems to upset you, but I'm not alone. We lost 1000 fans (all our new ones basically) in six months, everything around the club is gone dire.

We need a tyrant.

Is Martin Russell a tyrant??
OK, fair enough. I have my own views, but if you legitimately thought Limerick should be pushing for fourth whatever their budget was, I think you were hopelessly optimistic as everybody else reckoned you'd do well to establish yourselves as a league team. Above all else, no matter how much money Pat O'Sullivan was throwing at the club, the reality is you were in the market for the players other teams don't want.

Yeah you're right, he's mostly been used a sub, but he's been quite effective when used.. he's been unlucky not to be starting. (edit-he actually did start last night)

On a side note, not sure if it's been posted, but apparently Taylor was in Drogheda last night. He could relegate them yet.

Good luck to Russell and Limerick.

[adamd164]

How has the appointment been received?

I wouldn't write off Russell, he did a decent job with UCD and he could potentially do well at Limerick.

I think its mainly a case of no major excitement but while he is here he will get full support.

Best of luck to him. Hope he does well there
