But as LTID says in the other thread Pat O Sullivan is doing a lot more for the club than just pumping wages into the first team. People are commenting like this is the model the club are following and Pat is doing nothing more than throwing ridiculous money at players without looking at the facts.Quote:

His company is nothing to do with football or Limerick FC in any case but the story is lies.
Edit:Sk this is what he has done
Instituted a prison programme
Began weekly school visits
Set up numerous community programmes
Founded an Academy for kids aged between 2 and 10 (hoping to take on 11 and 12 year olds next year)
Attempted to enter schoolboy teams but have been repeatedly denied permission
Set up a UL Bursary scheme
Entered a reserve team
Took the FAI to court to win the right to play friendlies in Thomond Park
Sponsored numerous Junior clubs in the city and county
Secured the Markets Field
So what funds Limerick FC?Quote:

Id love to know where you heard this rumour.
Pat O Sullivan The main one obviously but also,Quote:

Dunno about the clause in his contract but the couple of press reports I read said the club was St Johnstone

Strong Rumours that James McClean is signing for West Ham/Reading with the Hammers most likely. Fee to be in the region of £500k.
Was looking on the West Ham forum and the way they just dismiss the LOI and it's players is shocking. No-one seems to recall the amount of players that have gone from LOI to Engerland/Scotland and made a pretty good impact.
Stephen Ward, Kevin Doyle, Brian Murphy, Daryl Murphy, Wes Hoolahan, Meyler, Long, Forde, Sammon, McCourt, McGinn, Keegan, Deegan and a good few more.
As much as I dont like the fella (from his celebration of a goal against us last season in the randywell), I reckon McClean is quality and will do well in Engerland if he goes.
Happens at every club in England Sam. Everyone of those players was dismissed when they went over first (shocking omission of Fahey too ;) )
Looks a good player alright. Hope he does well
Shaun Kelly to Harps wants to be close to home.
Bloody hell. Must be be willing to play for feck all if that's the case!
Cause hes clearly getting the big bucks at Galway...Quote:

Disappointed that we didn't hold onto Brushie. He's a great keeper and a good character.Quote:
