Dolan

[Risteard]

Did those players that were meant to have been on their way from Waterford sign?

This article http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/sport/story.jsp?story=678202 links the big man with Glentoran.

[sadloserkid]

Paddy Purcell, Colm Heffernan and Kevin Waters have all arrived from Waterford.

Paddy Purcell, Colm Heffernan and Kevin Waters have all arrived from Waterford.

And a bloody decent bunch they are too :p (Lim till i die in temporary crazy optimism phase)

[Risteard]

Fair play.
I think Heffernan was linked with us a while back.

Everything gone quiet on the Dolan front?

[Risteard]

I'm presuming that Pat has abandoned the lims project for his anchor man role at Setanta?

[Dodge]

Where am I wrong??:rolleyes:
You fail to mention how he left Pats in dire straits, in fat we're still recovering from his excesses. I ould go oiver it again, and all the **** I I found out after he'd gone but do a search for my posts on Dolan instead

[Dricky]

St Pats....2 league titles...success
Cork City...built a league winning team before getting shafted, clubs best ever european run, dramatically put bums on seats(in some cases, literally) and increased the clubs profile big time...oh, and a Munster Senior Cup or two....success.
Waterford: Comes in as a consultant when the club were practically relegated, dead and buried..Waterford stay up, financially guaranteeing the future of one of Irelands oldest and most famous clubs....success.

Where am I wrong??:rolleyes:

Didn't win the league so you're wrong there, didn't build the team. so it is with that I take the rest of what you say with a pinch of salt.
Lost to limerick in the cup.
Club was going pro before he was no board.

He seems to be suited to you more, **** all success, if you think Munster Senior is a messure of success well then you won't be disappointed.

PAt's are still recovering from his spend spend spend.

Delighted he's found a new club, if he gets his way though it will be Limerick FC RIP..... although he may bring you to the dizzy heights of winning a few games.

Well Said Dodge. The man would be a disaster here. Ego the size of Ireland and ok will bring short term sucess ie Bigger media profile etc but in the long term it will prove , as it has done in all his previous clubs, as being nothing but a self serving exercise on his behalf.

We dont need him:eek:

[wws]

i dont know what limerick have in place at the moment but dolan would be great short term for a club that wants to boost up

I agree with the above. In fact, I'd say that Dolan will make the difference that could see Limerick playing in the Delaney PrimÉire league's inaugural season. Dolan has sufficient ability as a coach to get them up to the top or close to the top of the First Division. He will also boost the profile of the club and revamp the commercial side of things (just look at the way he will leverage the games against Shamrock if he's in charge). If it comes down to a choice between CHF and LFC you can clearly imagine Dolan putting the case forcefully to promote Limerick. Based on the last few years Limerick, without Dolan and the changes he would make, would be much less likely to get the nod in this scenario (even if they came top of Division 1).

The key is to have a strong chairman who won't allow him to get in too deep on the finance side and can leverage his removal if/when his ego gets the better of him.

[the only 1]

dolans coming for easy easy money dats all

[jebus]

Have it on good authority that Dolan was in Limerick yesterday and that he has signed up, or at least is going too VERY soon. Don't want to give the source as Danny might throw a strop and get him in trouble. Sounds ridiculous that he would, but then look who we're dealing with

[A face]

One thing in all of this aswell ... Limerick have to do well on the pitch aswell this year. And a good swell of support wouldn't go astray either.

Where are you wrong?

"Built a league winning team" No he didn't.

"Best european run" No - that was last year.

If by success you mean route one football wrapped up in a cocoon of self serving spoof, then fine. Might be good enough for your club but not at TC thank you very much!

[joeSoap]

"Built a league winning team" No he didn't.-I beg to differ. The squad that won the league last year was the squad assembled by Dolan and Noel O'Connor in the previous seasons. He brought the people like Danny Murphy, Joe Gamble, Roy O'Donovan and Kevin Doyle into the squad, and Cork definitely would not have won the league last season if it weren't for this.


"Best european run" No - that was last year. The Intertoto run was Corks best in history up to that point. Fact.

[Risteard]

Doyle and Murphy i'll give you. Two albeit class players.
Gamble was always going to be coming home to City and Roy O'Donovan . . . well you're just wrong there.
Dolan had a look at him the week before he was sacked but Rico signed him and brought him into the squad. Previous managers like Gunther signed more elements of the title winning team, Georgie, Flynnie, Devine.
Given the money, Dolan can definately spot a fine player such as Doyler, Danny and Fenn but i don't hink we'd have won the title last season with him.
The excuses had started already.

[new blue]

Dolan is brilliant!!
To hell with the begrudgers

[Conor H]

Dolan was in Terryland tonight.

[declan hide]

Nick Lesson was in LaLaLand!

[Risteard]

Dolan was in Terryland tonight.
Just hanging about?

[Conor H]

Ya it appeared so....he wasn't on Limerick bench but he was walking on the pitch before the match and watched the whole game from behind the goals.

[Risteard]

I wouldn't like that if i was a lims fan.
Either he's involved or he's not like.

[LFC in Exile]

I wouldn't like that if i was a lims fan.
Either he's involved or he's not like.

I agree. It could only have an unsettling effect on players. :ball:

What do you mean?
