Scully has done plenty of chopping and changing since he has been in charge and yes lots of players have come and go but he is no fool and he is weeding out what he doesn't want for the start of next season. Results are crap at the moment, crowd on friday was dismal and who knows if Limerick will be around next season but i hope so, i hope they can continue to improve on what they are trying to do off the field. I also reckon that for once the club will start next season with a prepared squad and a manager that won't have been thrown in a week before the start so i hope Scully stays and we give it a right go next year because this years campaign is all but over but players will know they are playing for their contracts in the next few months
i hope scully will be there next year its next year going up or never we need to get out of 1st divison been in far too long.:(
I agree we need to at least start 1 season with a plan, every season for the last 3 seasons were started either with no club or no permanent manager,Quote:

1) Limerick started with a manager in place next season and I hope its Scully because we don't need a new manager AGAIN next season
2) there is a plan in place way before the styart of next season, Limerick it seems are the Fiannia Fail of soccer, they dont seem to have a plan any season and seem to be winging it for the last few seasons.
Couldnt judge the man on half a season in which money and injuries have been a major problem.
If he stays on for next year then we can judge him but this year is a complete write off regarding the senior team.
could'nt agree with monkfish more,lets just ride out the season and hope that we have a stable off season and the players are properly fit for the start to next season.
No better than reasonably but as has been said above it's not really fair to judge the man on half a season. *Hopefully* he'll be given a proper crack at things next season.Quote:

As I am by nature one of the pessimistic people of this planet I hope you will be encouraged by that. :) I've seen no reason to suggest that we won't be around next season. O'Sullivan seems on a level and committed (as did Drew, Finnan, McCarthy, Fr.Joe etc I'll admit) so it might not be too much to hope that we start next season without our usual and traditional histronics and flirtation with disaster.Quote:

We can all see that he is now building for next season and has removed a lot of deadwood. Next season is the one to see what he is about.
I agree with the majority here. Lets wait till next season. We'll see what kind of a team he assembles and then we can see if he can push us on for a play off spot. Hopefully he does hang around. If we can be gauranteed that, it will go a long we in the off season as far as getting sponsors etc... as it will show some stability in the club.
Had Scully been in place for most of the off-season, had he the chance to piece together the side he wanted before the season began, I think we'd be looking at a different Limerick team in a much better position than we are now. As it was he was thrown into someone else's squad so I simply couldn't judge him on this season.
For the same reason as mentioned above I hope beyond hope that Scully is in charge next season. We need stability, a manager managing HIS team. That is what proves what kind of a manager he is.
Lastly, I firmly believe we'll still be in football next year. End of.
tell me how has he the time to pick new players this season when he lives in Dublin, I heard that he is signing players on the sayso of other people i.e. Kieran Judge and co and in some cases he hasnt even seen them play.Quote:

When did he move back?Quote:

The majority of players he signed he knew already or are well known in LOI circles.
But thats not Dublin! :pQuote:

Yup i heard this last night too. Donnelly was dropped for the Finn Harps match after the shocker against Fingal so left (if this is the case then good riddance) and i heard O Callaghan is going over to England or someting along those lines (I wonder if this actually has anything to do with the fact he was pictured in the local playing for Claughaun. Can't see Scully being too happy with him playing GAA too unless he was allowed).Quote:

Lads I was informed of this post from a friend of mine who was checking the Limerick site and I just want to let you know what actually happened. I did not leave because I was dropped that is not the reason and I would appreciate it if them rumours where stopped. I have a good job in the Bank and the travelling down to Limerick on the Friday night's to play the games was just killing me. I felt that I was not doing myself justice and more importantly the club any justice in travelling down and been shattered playing the game and hence having a nightmare (Sporting Fingal, took me 3.5hrs to drive that Friday and I was poor) and that is the reason I have finished up with Limerick. I spoke to the people in charge and informed them of my reasons and thanked them for the opportunity which unfortunately hasn't worked out. I deserved to be dropped for the Finn Harps game but like any player they are never going to be happy if they are not playing but just let me confirm 100% that was not my reason for leaving. I would like to Thank the club for the opportunity and wish you all the best in the future, because there are some good people running the club. I hope this clears things up in some way. Niall Donnelly.(I will not be on this Site again)
Fairplay for coming on and clearing things up. Good Luck in the future.Quote:
