said on red fm he got his marching orders :eek:
heard that aswell,nothing on official website yet!
and red fm are official club sponsers aswell!!
its true, going to be on the websites soon.
yeah heard it aswell!
what a joke 3 weeks before the start of the season lennox and dolan werent talking though so not entirely surprising if it did happen!
damien richardson lined up apparently!
but you wouldn't know what to be believing like!
i'd like to take this oportunity to congratulate:
[SIZE=5]wws[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Peadar[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]damian richardson[/SIZE]
Im amazingly ambivilant about this, dont know why.
Its a shame things didnt work out, but thats football. Dolan did a good job for us and everybody (well bar one or two) will wish him well Im sure. At least this has happened before the start of the season although it would have been better if it happened at the end of last season instead.
If one of them had to go, Id rather it be Pat than Lennox. Hopefully the players will accept this and work hard under the new manager. Who's going to take over in the meantime? Gunther? Ashton?
Im in shock Dolan didnt deserve this
red fm now
i'd presume gunther as director of footballQuote:

I personally think Ashton should be given a look in if Richardson is lined up!
red fm now,report at 11 ish

more to come as reports come in
greg canty is on red fm now
After his comments recently, he was obviously looking to get the sack. I'm glad it is him and not Lennox. Maybe because his buddy Wallace wasnt going to get control, he's off somewhere else where they can scheme world domination.
So he's gone. A brilliant two years has come to an end. Thanks for the last 2 years Pat, and good luck to Brian in finding a suitable replacement. I have no doubt but that this relationship was made with the clubs interests at heart.
Ya so would I, but he's gunther and I dont think anyone, including himself, wants him to be sticking around in that role for too long.Quote:

Text that was sent to, and read out by, Today FM on the way home from another away defeat in Gunthers time
"Could you please play "I Will Always Love You" for my soul-mate Liam as its comming up to our 2nd anniversary soon. Its terrible when we're away. Love Patsy F" :D :D :D
will noel o connor come back and take over? players know and respect him
i am gutted Pat was sacked a pity though noel o conner left i think he would do a great job with city .
i;d be very surprised. very unlikely.Quote:

but he probably wouldnt go fulltime with his butchers in Lim + he'd possibly have to move down here too. It would be a huge step for him + he cant really walk out of Limerick now, that would be bad form that only a boxers unsuccessful brother would do.Quote:

Pat got a tad too big for his boots and after all the crap of the last week I don't believe there was any comeback, he had to go.
Gilley, Lennox & Gunther paid Pat a visit this afternoon and relayed the news to him.
This is just incredible news.
With less than 3 weeks to go til the start of the season, Lennox sacks Dolan.
I'm not going to argue for or against the decision but I'll bet that has diminished our chances of League and cup glory. I'm gobsmacked!!
Thanks Pat for all you did. :)
Pat Dolan, a true Legend.
I don't know what to say...... :(
forgot about doyler!! sh!t,will he stick wit dolan!!
colm PRO is on at the moment
Well he's contracted for this season at least so I dont think thats a big problem right now. Us, Shel's and Bohz are probably the only teams that could afford to keep him anyway and I cant see Pat managing any of the other 2 anytime soon. Dont worry about Dolye for now.
Players have contracts and can't just move on if they feel like it. There is a process to go through and transfer windows to think about.
yeah, half-arsed players, thats what we need.Quote:

There had better be valid reasons for this.
So much for "We're in this together!!" :mad: :eek:
See the official site. Stuart Ashton is temporarily in charge. Hope to appoint a new man next week.
Also sounds like the players and Lennox are back together.
Have no doubt about this but when any manager leaves a club certain players follow.
I reckon the likes of Doyler, Kearney, Danny Murphywere all Dolans boys and will be gone once the opportunity arrises.
Even the likes of George and Flynny had become mates of his.
Fallout will be huge IMO. Gonna be tough for who ever takes over.
Who ever it is they are going to have to be really a strong character as there was certainly a lot of loyalty for Dolan in the dressing room.
.....remember how Mountfield fell!!!!
Fron the official site:
Press Release
The players and management have met tonight. The first thing that was discussed was the level of dissatisfaction that was felt by the players regarding the training facilities. The management committee outline what is in the pipeline regarding developments that will be available in the near future. The players are glad to see that their concerns have been taken on board and have agreed to move forward with the club in order to make this season one of the most successful in the club's history. The players also stated that they were disappointed to hear about the departure of the manager but have again agreed to move onwards and are positive about the new challenges that lie ahead.
Signed,
The Management Committee & Players.
Thats good news anyway. Fair play to all involved for keeping things focused "The players are glad to see that their concerns have been taken on board and have agreed to move forward with the club in order to make this season one of the most successful in the club's history"
Whats going to happen to this though? :eek:
Nice to hear this. Whats most important now is unity.
I think the question is will Dolan end up at Limerick with O'Connor? Remember the rumours not so long ago......unlikely, but could happen sometime in the future.Quote:

- Did he contribute to it at all? Maybe he should have acted sooner.
- Obviously not.
- It would appear so.
