Its probably just a case of being blinded by my hate for everyone after being made a show of by Athlone so i reserve the right to go back on everything I have said and welcome Russell wit open arms if needs be.Quote:

Dunno what in the name of jaysus youre going on about with our "system"
I didnt say we should be better than the top four. I didn't say we should be winning the league. With our outlay we should be a LOT closer. And quite a bit ahead of Bohs, Bray, Drogheda, Athlone and Ucd. Which we're not.
Hang on a minute, we're all having an argument here.Quote:

You can't just throw out a big budget in this league and expect to compete. You need more than that, and those clubs do have more.
I presume this is you trying to be funny? A 'harsh' sacking! Presided over humiliating defeat to arch rivals in Cup final, brought club to brink of relegation - which came about despite his sacking - and had side playing awful stuff.Quote:

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??
Your pitch is crap.Quote:

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

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

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.Quote:

Russell appointed!

Good luck to Russell and Limerick.
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.

Best of luck to him. Hope he does well there
