But as we all know don't believe anything in this league until it is confirmed.
Just confirmed now on local radio scully has been sacked.
All aboard the Sean Connor bandwagon rolling into Limerick. He'll survive though, after all he's from West Belfast, which he has stated on numerous occasions
Surprised by that to be honest. Think he had a year left to go on his contract but it was mentioned during the summer it would cost nothing to get rid of him.
I suppose he is walking away at a good time for himself. He promised to get us up in a 4 year plan so he can walk away now saying he did his job.
Please bring back the Rodster
It has high profile name written all over it. Kenny Cunningham is my guess.
Nothing less than Guardiola on the wages they're paying!
We wont have much by prem standard im afraid.Quote:

You left out Tony Cousins. He won't come cheap, mind.

LIMERICK FC have this Thursday afternoon parted ways with manager Pat Scully.
Confirmation of the shock move came following a meeting of the board of the senior soccer club this morning.
However, details of the surprise move remain unclear. Pat Scully confirmed to Leader Sport that he has parted ways with the club, but refused to comment further.
The development comes just weeks after Scully guided the Super Blues back into the top flight of the Airtricty League.
Two weeks ago, assistant manager Mark Dempsey also parted company with the club.
Scully was appointed Limerick FC manager in March 2009 and in September 2011 his contract was extended by two years.
Last month, Scully’s Limerick FC were crowned First Division champions.
Earlier this weeks, Limerick’s Rory Gaffeny was named as Player of the Year at the PFAI awards.
Limerick FC also dominated the division’s 2012 Team of the Year, with five representatives - captain Pat Purcell, Shane Tracy, Joe Gamble, Stephen Bradley, and Rory Gaffney.
The departure of Scully and Dempsey comes as speculation continues regarding Limerick’s home ground for the 2013 season.
It is understood that the club are in discussions with Thomond Park as Jackman Park required much investment to meet licensing requirements for the Premier Division.
Limerick are to return to the Markets Field, but that now appears unlikely to happen in time for the start of the new season next spring.
Please let it be Roddy who gets the job.
We need Roddy back in the League, if only for his post-match interviews/sing-alongs on MNS.
I heard a few weeks back that Scully was going to go and Declan Farmer was going to take over, don't see the sense in that and doubt it will happen but seeing as it is the rumour thread said I'd post it.
Shane McFaul is on his way back to League of Ireland football according to LOI Blog.
Club won't be talking to anyone till after Christmas though.Quote:

Stephen McLaughlin is going to Nottingham Forest for a trial.
I don't expect him to be with us next season. If anything, bit surprised he hasn't gone across the water already.
Has he anything left of a contract to run with youse or is he a free agent? Be a shame to miss out on a transfer fee.
I'm sure he has at least two contracts.
Conor Kenna has resigned for the Saints.
He's got a year left on both contracts.Quote:

Hopefully youse'll get a bit of money for him then. Another player who is clearly too good for this league.Quote:

He'll be talking to Limerick Stephens Day (Boxing Day)Quote:

More chance of her playing for you I'd say!Quote:

Have any Finn Harps lads heard about Ventre moving to Donegal?
its hard to measure just how happy it makes me feel that that "player" is no longer playing for the team I love.Quote:

Yup. Now it looks like Pats are going to pay for the pleasure of watching him pr!ck around the pitch. Waster. Don't do it Pats!Quote:

Not too bothered about losing O'Connor. Don't see him holding down a place at Rovers. Croly seems intent on reassembling last seasons Pats team out in Tallaght. Rumoured to be chasing Bolger and John Russell too, as well as Bermo.Quote:
