what a load of rubbish just when things were just moving along nicely
I saw Kenny Cunningham in town today maybe he was in for an interview!
Stranger things have happened
Lads, these things happen in football all the time. all we need to do as fans of limerick fc is go to the games back the players/club & new manager ?? all the way so we can have a sucsessfull season & by that i dont mean 5th,4th or 3rd
I presume that NOC is top of the list of people to take over? Because of the timing of Kerley's quitting I don't think you're going to find a huge list of people clamouring towards the doors of Knocklasheen to try and get the job anyway.
I have to say Kerley's gone way down in my estimation. The time to leave was at least a month or so ago, as is he's left the club with something like 2 players officially signed up and precious little time to get in a replacement. Said replacement will then have even less time to get the team organised. I suppose there's a certain symmetry to the whole thing, having gotten screwed over by the club at the time of his first exit, The Magician seems to have decided that he couldn't take his own leave without screwing up the club's pre-season.
Still in terms of positives Kerley was overpaid thanks to the last acts of the Finnan era and the club can almost definitely pay out a little less now. And should it be NOC who does return at least we'll benefit from increased professionalism off the field.
Leaves us in a mess in the short-term though.
It seems MK was having difficulties with certain players(i honestly dont know who) but he was not interested in resigning White,Sheehan or Tracey(who wants to play for us).
ah not magic mike, was looking forward to him coming down to us again :mad:Quote:

He is,in his own head:)Quote:

As for a new manager with such short notice i'd prefer to see a player/manager like Tommy Barrett, AFAIK he's been heavily involved in organising training sessions etc and seems to get on well with the players and he's a youth development officer or something too. I'd much prefer this (even temporally)rather than rushing into things for the sake of it and appointing someone like NOC or Danny D:)
Iv been very quick to defend Mike last season regarding the Wexford thing and other stuff but have to say over the last few weeks im disgusted with the man, the way he's carried on is an insult to the people in the club who were breaking their balls sorting out the licence.
Replacements? Roddy Collins! :)
Yup, the whole Sheehan thing is beyond belief.Quote:

whats Kerley supposed to have done, besides resigning 2 weeks before the new season?
The man's a failure. Put on a show for half a season and you think you're Alex fcking Ferguson. Good Riddance. We're a small club with facilities which were overburdened with the man's ego. Bring on a professional and get who we need signed next week. :ball:
Who has he signed for?Quote:

Signed for Wexford Youths by all accounts, probably tired of being messed around over his contractQuote:

Cummins is twice the player sheehan is...Chicken and headless comes to mind with sheehan...Ye are much better off with cummins
the next limk manager will be earning far less than MK was,imo MK didn,t like the thoughts of a pay cut which could have contributed to his decision.i also think the FAI need to look at what their coaching liciences produce,MK is one of the few who hold such and given his latest performance one wonders how he got his...that or the course needs serious surgery as in....how to manage a team professionally.the fact that g.sheehan has possibly gone is a real clue regarding the inactivety of MK,s ...work....in preseason preparation of the squad for the season ahead.his inability to deal with players and the issues that effect them and their prepartion as a squad has certainly protrayed him in a very poor light.
considine at pike would have to be in with a shout of getting this job having won the league last year and looking good to win it this year,,he knows how to deal with a professional outfit like pike so Limerick would be no hastle
Of course you dont need coaching badges in juniorland, has he got whats needed for senior level? Genuine question.Quote:
