See I would argue that we absolutely need an outsider to bring in players in July
There is literally one candidate available in this country that I would wan't and that is Brian Kerr other than that name me one manager from inside the league that would be good enough?Quote:

Is this the same fella that was sacked from his last job in Egypt after 50 odd days?
Is there some reason people don't want to name names here? I mean we all know nothing is confirmed yet, no one will take it as gospel.
I'd say Egypt is a quare place to work in fairness I wouldn't hold that against him.
Latest is he's been sent back anyway and the club will be going cheap and cheerful after all.
Read between the lines NeverFeltBetter, the clues are there ;)Quote:

What a strange move that would be considering he has made it very clear it wouldn't be him in interviews after games and in the leader recently.
As Pat O Sullivan was told a few years ago up in Athlone when he was getting in Russell, Buy Cheap, Buy Twice.
Two years and a massive wad of cash later and we've progressed from being a dull midtable go nowhere team to a dull midtable go nowhere team.
Another omnishambles of an appointment process from the league of irelands omnishambles specialists.
I hope it all works out. I hope we go unbeaten the rest of the year and do the double.
But if I was Willie Boland the fact that no one on the board fancied me until they had a look in their pockets would give me pause for thought before I left my handy academy job.
I thought he said something like "mark my words in a few weeks time they will be sorry they didn't give it to him"?Quote:

He said he would be surprised if we were sitting here in a few weeks and Willie wasn't manager.
I thought he did not have the badges to be permanent manager?
Ways around that.Quote:

Yep Tommy Barrett could be put in as manager but really just be for show Rovers did it last year with Bradley.Quote:

How long does it take to get coaching badges anyway?
In Willies case I think we are talking 2 years unless they can get him fast-tracked.Quote:

Tommy wouldn't actually have to do anything other than show up on the bench but I suppose for appearances he would have to go alright.
Anyone know who the final 3 interviewed were? Other than Frank Nuttall by the sounds of it..
whos Frank Nuttall btw?Quote:

I think that's why they removed him from the shortlist.
Hey Pat, thomas72 from the internet says he's never heard of this guy Nuttall.
Jesus, get rid of him asap.
3 points from 12. Happy anti Russell brigade?
Yes cos that fact definitely makes Russell a better manager. 1 win in 22 Russell lovers.Quote:

Its been classless, and we deserve better.
But then if and when we do get there, isn't so much credit due to that same ownership and the progress made since they have come in ? By that I mean if you look at where the club was for the 25 years prior to their influence. We were disappointed not to get the better players in the country in the off season, but tisn't so long since we couldn't get the better players in Limerick even. I am ok with the time being taken over this appointment on two levels, one is shows Russel wasn't a dead man walking in his last weeks here, by that I mean someone lined up while he was still here, but also this next phase is key in the clubs journey, this appointment does need to be the right one definitely in order to fulfill this clubs potential. And can you truthfully say Russel was going to deliver that next step ? It didn't look like it on or off the field to me.
Fair enough, but I think we ****ed up to be honest
Keep putting in the money, we had a good manager. We were on our way. Unfortunately clowns in charge
Time will tell that better than any over and back on here tonight :)
I don't hate Martin at all and I never have been even close to he is lovely fella and was always nothing but polite in his dealings with me. I do however think he is a dreadful manager. Look at the state of some parts of the squad even based on the fact that even with a top 5 budget the man couldn't sign a player for the life of him had the club not stepped in to sign players we wouldn't even have Tosi, Ogbene,Hery and Robson

Not to mention Russells previous record with us in the premier league. But when do facts ever play a part in a good argument. I believe if Russell was still in charge we would be relegated again. So for me its Go Anti Russell Brigade!
I can't agree with this sentiment. Under Russell, on the basis of its PL record, the only way we were going was back down. Boland had a bad result last night, but we're still in the top half of the table.Quote:

Andrew Cunneen has an article in today's leader about the management situation in Limerick. Some interesting names mentioned. Announcement to be this week.
