Get this started with the news Freddy Hall has signed a 2 year deal. Great news.
Another 2 year deal to be announced shortly. Good start.
Shane Tracy signs a 2 year deal.
Great start
That is some seriously good news. Hall saved Limerick's bacon a good few times in the run-in, every chance he could be the best keeper in that division. And Tracy has been one of the best players for Limerick over the last few years.
If O'Sullivan and Russell can actually keep that squad together, it'll be quite the plaudit-worthy achievement. I'd worry about what's being offered in comparison to the kind of revenue you can expect from the First Division, but if the same form of the last third of the season can be replicated - and whose to say it can't, if the same squad is in place, as big an if as it is - Limerick would surely top the First Division.
Very encouraged by this, needed to happen a a year ago but hopefully a sign of the club copping on to a winning first team as being the key in this project from which all else can follow. Lets see who they can manage to hang on to from the others.
Great news.
If we somehow got duggan vinny clarke and turner on a contract we would be in a extremely strong situation early on for a change.
Probably wishful thinking to get all 4
Just heard duggan in talks with st pats
Good news that freddy and shane have signed.keep the signings coming this side of xmas.hopefully they will have learnt from last season.
Robbie Williams signs one year deal.
Willie Boland signs 3 year deal to take over the running of the clubs underage set up.
We have a back 4 in place already :eek:
Great to see quick movement. Even if some of the squad don't re-sign at least we know the club are making efforts.
Everyone from last season that we want to keep has been met and offered a deal according to one player I spoke to.
Any idea on how things are progressing with likes of clarke vinny duggan and turner??
I know be tough to keep them
Paul O Conor signs on again.
How about main four vinny duggan clarke and turner they'd be a massive addition.Quote:

Seems like the higher ups have learned the lessons of the last few off-seasons.
Certainly looks that way doesn't it.Quote:

Yep credit where its due to em everything is being done brilliantly so far this off season.Quote:

I'td be something to stop Duggan heading to Cork alright.
I'd take Dave in a heartbeat. He has been starting for Galway though so not sure if that would come to pass. Have seen his parents in the markets field regularly enough though and it would close again to Cork.Quote:

How did ye find O'Leary when he was with ye lads?
Hard to know if we'll retain him or not. He was very hit and miss with us, very inconsistent. He's still young though so I'm not discounting him yet.
Ya was a bit hit and miss with us in his last season but he has a lot of good things about his game. The type of player that just needs to find the right position. Great attitude as well. Would be great to see him in a midfield with 2 of Duggan, lynch, O'Connor.Quote:

Duggan resigns!
Duggan re-signs!
I hope not!Quote:

Apparently a three year deal, pursuant to the club getting promoted next season. Wonder what his wages are?
Probably high, but if signings like him help get us up and bring in a few hundred more people through the gate then it's worth every penny.Quote:

Thoughts on gary shannahan and dave o leary signing from Galway?
Heard clarke going to rovers club trying there best to get him to stay and haven't quiet givin up on him yet but it will be tough to keep him I'm told.
Would be delighted to sign both the lads.Quote:

I'd be surprised if Tommy Dunne let Shanahan go as he has been an ever present in our team since Dunne took over. I know he's a Limerick lad and that but I think Tommy would like to keep him. Unless Limerick give him a better offer than we do.
Seen it hasn't been mentioned yet Mike Aherne sasying on Twitter yesterday more good news to come in next few days.
In relation to potential investment, are there any details yet about what Pat mentioned at half time (I think in the Derry game) where he said something along the lines of potential investment in the club even if we were relegated and a 3 to 5 year plan and that details would be disclosed within approximately 1 month ? could he have meant investment in players which is what we are currently seeing or would it have to do with off field investment....
I reckon it's overall investment in the club, not just a specific area like players.Quote:

Limerick fc just comfirmed the signing of winger Chris Mulhall from UCD.
Any good?
Decent player, has been a thorn in our side on a few occasions with plenty of experience in the first division.Quote:

I reckon a few will. I think 3 or 4 are on holidays but returning soon. If we signed another 3 players before Christmas then it would be fantastic business done.Quote:
