Make your mind up ;)
Nobody was saying fill the team with veterans, but a few are important. Which is why we were advocating Vinny. Now that it seems he's joining nobody is complaining. Of course we'd all be much happier if Sulli and Deego stayed.

Welcome home Vinny!!!
Is Gary Deegan staying with you this season? I wouldn't mind seeing him at UCD.
welcome vinnie.as marty said , things are lookin a little bit brighter than a few weeks ago:)
looking at the article on ltfc.ie it looks like vinny will be asst mgr only...:(
Ah yeah, ill add my sentiments. Welcome back Vinny. Come on man, just play a game for us. Preferably one that coincides with a flight home that weekend. Just for old time's sake. :)
I don't know if he'll be playing every week or what, probably depends what sort of squad we have but as far as I know he will be registered. Vinny himself has apparently said before that he feels he could play on for another couple of years. We'll see, either way he'll be a very good influence and a good character to have involved.
in fairness noone is saying we WILL get promoted but for God sake we have to be looking at at least callenging. The facts are we dont know what squad of players we have so we can worry about targets when we do get a squad. But remember rovers did it in a year from scratch why not us!!?? Waterford are still not overly great and while shels have increased there squad with decent players they still only have a squad of about 12 at present. Dundalk will be the team to beat I feel for whoever is to challenge them!!
Limerick won't be challengers this season, lucky to be top 5 i'd say. it'll be waterford shels and dundalk as the three contenders for the promotion.
Infairness rovers was a completly different situation, they didnt exactly start from scratch like we are and they had 2000 fans every home game.. Somthing we couldnt even sustain at our height in the premier division.. Rovers were favourites to win the 1st division that year were as we wont be rest assured of that.. So i wouldnt really use rovers doin it in a year as a guideline they had alot more in their favour
i'd say the situation is more like shels last year in their first season. starting out from scratch. i'd say ye will start average and grow stronger as the season goes, the same way shels did. this all depends on the type of squad ye have of course.
Blasphemy! Ah no Vinny is a Town legend as much for his attitude and love of the club as anything else. We should have a squad that will be competitive in the division. Promotion may be a step too far this year but we could certainly hope to be pushing at the top end rather than the bottom.
