On the flip side, I think he is an excellent first division manager, based soley on his performance with Kilkenny City.
and not based on him winning the 1st division with rovers at the first attempt? :confused::confused::oQuote:

I hope they do well and i hope this won't fall part in a few months when the money isn't flwing into the club
How many assumptions can one guy make in a post?
Were you at the board meeting?
Do you even know how much Kerley was on?
Do you know what Scully was looking for?
Do you know what we would have offered Scully?
No, you've got the usual Limerick source of some guy told some other guy and you heard it off that guys cousin
Run along seniorblue. You say you support the club and yet you've tried to turn what would be a real coup for the club into something completely negative by mouthing off about Limerick contradicting themselves, how we can't afford it and making the usual sneery remarks of so many juniorballers.Quote:

Wait for an announcement, an official one, not one from the auld lad who drinks in the Spotted Dog and come back to us then
Lads, while he might cost a bit, he is an excellent manager. He transformed Kilkenny City for all of one year, and re-established Shamrock Rovers as a top five side. Also both jobs were done on minimal budgets
yes i agree he would be good i think but i would much rather they spend the money on new playersQuote:

lads in all fairness he would be good for us but hes wages it could really **** us up at the end he wundt be a long term mananger just with us till a better club+offer came along we would have been better with someone local and long term
But if he improved ye, surley attendances would receive a boost, and ye're profile would be raised. Even if he only stayed a year, I think he'd do a good job, and leave ye in a good state for the next person to come inQuote:

Surely this should be on the main forum?
we cant as we dont know if its true or not. the poster is a wum and cant be trusted. id say it will be on limerickfc.ie first if a new manager is appointed in the comming days.Quote:

More than that sure that was only an hours training in CorballyQuote:

yep it was announced on Limericks radio station sponsor spin south west this morning so think you can take it as read now. Great appointment IMO. Indo should have loads of pics tonight it being the other sponsor
Great appointment particularly as he's on less money than Kerley was. There are no certainties in football but Scully isn't coming down here to make up the numbers or waste time. He's got an excellent record as a manager in this division, is pretty high profile in terms of the League of Ireland and we couldn't have looked for any more than that.
That's he's affordable was essential and having ticked that box it's the most positive thing that's happened to the club on the field in a long time. The Mervue game aside we've been a shapeless mess this season and we needed a manager.
not to be knockin pat scully before he's even started the job or even been confirmed but speaking to a lad from dublin who played for him and he said as good a tactician as he is he has poor man management skills,would he be able to get the likes of Robbie Kelliher back interested and fit, he'd be a great addition if he could!!
on a different note, does anybody know where jimmy fyfe is playing these days or if at all!!
That could just be on disgruntled ex-player too. Even in my odd decade of following the club we've *NEVER* had a manager who hasn't fallen out with at least a few players. If he keeps things on track on the field and it costs us a few players... not necessarily a problem unless it ruins whatever sort of team morale we've amassed.Quote:

great appointment by the club. hopefully Limerick can match his standards and ambitions.
Great appointment, I think and who cares what the cost is as long as the team are performing, it's not like it's coming out of your pockets.
I'd gladly pay an extra few euro at the gate if the club shows this kind of ambition.
As for seniorblue, all you who jumped down his throat do owe an apology. Maybe some of you know this guy but it sounds like you lot are jealous he got the info out there before you did???? Maybe.
I have no doubt robbie is good enough i dont know if hes mentally strong enough to get back too that fitness we would hate to lose him as he is still the best at holding up the ball but its down too himself best of luck too him he has gave us good service.Quote:

Interesting to see what kind of a team Scully will pick and what kind of way he will set the team up to play. First match against Shels will be interesting, especially if he has an almost fully fit team. He knows plenty about Wayne and Tommy anyway after having them at Rovers for a few months. A draw in his first game against Shels in Tolka would be a very decent result.
Tommy playing great stuff,i think wayne has dropped hes game abit didnt play great last year,hughes and wayne abit small in midfield.Quote:

He's been sick apparantly in recent weeks, has only played v UCD so far and he was subbed 2nd half cos he was wrecked.
Cant wait to see him back and fully fit, his commitment on the field is second to none :ball:
...oh yeah, and thats brilliant news about Pat Scully, this is gonna be great :)
[quote=harpin;1129424][quote=trueview6;1129413]Tommy playing great stuffInfairness its not hes fault there was no preseason friendlys and very little training it will take time hope scully is the man but if not we'r in serious trouble hes not coming down for nothing whos hes assistant.Quote:
Last year, yes, this year, so far, no
great to see the juniorballers on here trying to soil some great news for Limerick FC.If Jesus himself came down from above to manage us they would find fault with him.:rolleyes:
Well i go too all the matchs iv a great interest in limerick fc,we have to give the manager and players a chance,he has to get used too the players see what he has,some limerick supporters on this site are at each other can we try be positive.Quote:
