I enjoyed the actual season there the season before last in the first that was good craic.
Looking like one of the lads that have been holding out is about to commit club got that one right if it happens need the rest now.
In the 25 years or so I'm following it Limerick have had a total of maybe three and a half good seasons and at least 20 brilliantly entertaining off seasons.Quote:

You're off YOUR case, chief
The way some on here are volunteering info on the club and especially the squad i am now waiting with bated breath to hear what time the likes of Duggan and Lynch[plenty wouldnt lose any sleep if he did go but he wont anyway as there are no clubs breaking the door down to get him] take a sh-te in the morning.The very least the squad needed to do was stay in the division,so how this would constitute a pay rise in any form for players on good wages already is beyond me.I would wager the club didnt even talk to McNamee as Cork had their work done early doors,we are not in a position to compete at that level for players anyway.The apathy attitude that does desend on Limerick followers preseason can certainly be attributed to certain club business but its also greatly hepled by the ...phantom insiders..on all forms of social media sprouting rubbish.
Let's all sit on our hands til February
Me too, I'd love it, half a dozen six foot five muscle and bone merchants with nothing behind the eyes but venom and f*ck all in their heads only their contract who give the badge the odd kiss and off we go. A new dawn, a new day, a happier brighter day.Quote:

The club lost any right they ever had to do their business privately when club employees fed your pal Alan to info to try a hatchet job on the 3 lads released.Quote:

The hatchet job didn't stop at the three released, it continues to this day, and has nothing to do with football. The apathy toward the club is based on a well established pattern of making a complete ****** of anything they touch... Unqualified, Unprofessional, Unethical and drowning in mediocrity. You got to ask why the business community in Limerick have not shown a blind bit of interest in the revival of "senior soccer" in the Markets Field. Could it be, some have had a look at the bottom feeders and gave it a miss ....Quote:

What’s me writing chose instead of choose got to do with anything? It’s a straight forward question.Quote:

It’s a thankless job. Easiest thing for you to do is sit and ridicule the club online but unless you have some constructive alternative, you are talking out your arse.
Kieran Judge is one of the best in the country at what he does but who else actually runs the club? Obviously Pat puts the money in but I doubt he does much to run the thing day other than that I can think of nobody other than Judge. There isn't a single actual football man running the football club other than Kieran anyway.
"I don’t know who could run the club at the moment bar the people involved so I wouldn’t have an opinion on someone different"
Would you not give Michael O Leary some consideration, seems to have done a cracking job at Ryanair. A little unpopular with pilots at the moment and his scratchcards are suspect, but that's just my opinion - I note you don't do opinions
It’s a thankless job ..
So is mine, but that's the capitalist cycle called work.So no one currently involved in the administration of the club gets paid?
Easiest thing for you to do is sit and ridicule the club online.
And the hardest is watching a hatchet job being done on players and bought aspirational journalists - I don't confine my criticism to online."
"constructive alternative"
Our horrified investor who discovered half way through the season that he had a Mongolian adventure turkey on his hands."
"talking out your arse"
Subjective .. Try Objective
At the rate Michael O’Leary is losing pilots due to contract issues, I wouldn’t let him near the club :pQuote:

In an ideal world you would have some kind of split between an owner/investor and fans but we seem to be well off that at the moment.
You see when a couple of posters that have different views can reach a type of consensus and identify strengths and weaknesses in the set up. That what's needed, an avenue to almost "provoke" discussion.. rather than meander along and accept mediocrity...the old nodding dog syndrome. Make no mistake, we are going nowhere fast and have the most unsustainable model in the country which needs radical work.Quote:

so who would be the two teams you reckon will be worst than us.
we are in big trouble as it stands.
I know it's very early but whispers within the club suggest money is extremely tight.
Currently we are fodder, re sign all of last seasons squad, still fodder. Big improvement and investment needed.Quote:

season's/seasons or choose/chose? Maybe Jofspring can pass on the details of that English teacher you suggested.Quote:

One I wanted us to sign last season actually.
Very happy to see Danny signed. Still young but he has plenty of experience at this level. Hopefully he can get his full fitness back and find form again.
Hopefully club convince Joe Gamble to stay I'm sure he would get him firing.
Was told as it stands Joe is still with Limerick. People saying he was let go was a load of rubbish. He has had offers elsewhere but as it stands is still with Limerick. If he goes it seems it will be his decision.Quote:

They were also told he had never spoken to Waterford which I know 100% he has.Quote:
