I think NOC knows he's not liked or wanted on the terraces anyway
Terraces? Don't you mean grassy slopes?:DQuote:

I hope so old keeper i really do. A wrong appointment could ruin all the good work done by the soccer limerick group in the past months. Fingers crossed and i hope that the licence application is successful.
Here here, and I'll go one further by saying forget about Noel O'Connor and his side kick anyway. Appoint them, and wave goodbye to any hope of a following at Jackman Park. I seriously hope that those conducting the interviews and making the appointment are privy to what went on at Limerick with the aforementioned over the years. Don't undoe all the good work lads....... Mike Kerely would be a no no as well, but bareable if it happened.Quote:

Besides O'conner and Ryan i think most Limerick supporters would get behind whoevers in charge.
I agree with the sentiments on NOC but that siad I think its important that a new management team has appropriate coaching badges.
I hadn't thought of Ray O'Halloran to be honest - I think he manages Balla now? I am completely biased in supporting him because of his ability as a player and his long years of service to the club in what were really ****ty times.
I think he stopped managing Balla 2 seasons ago. He is not managing anyone at the moment (I think).Quote:

Are there many options for the managers job? Does the new setup have the financial backing to get in a top manager?
as an interested outsider
regarding the hostility to NOC and kerley what did they do, why were they so bad...anybody
Don't think you'll find too many Limerick fans who are hostile to Mike KerleyQuote:

NOC on the otherhand, in his second spell in charge, did poorly with what was widely percieved among Limerick fans to be a good side. His teams also played a brand of football which alienated a lot of Limerick fans. He also had damaging rows with fan favourites like Derek McCarthy
Having said that on a personal level I've never had any problem with the man and you'd be fairly hard pressed to find a Limerick fan who does have a major problem with him
Well said, it's purely on football reasons...Quote:

As just a coach, maybe.....but I would not blame any long term supporter from walking away if NOC was back again for a third time with two failures already behind him - that's taking the p**s. And the comments are in no way personal :rolleyes:
What the hell? you signed up for a new account just to type? that mumbo jumbo?Quote:

the new manager should have a good knowledge of the local junior soccer scene regardless,because imo this is where all the footballers will be drawn from.Everyone wont be happy of who is picked but im sure will have the support of the majority.
I TINK YOU STUUPID. GO AWEY AND LERN 2 SPEL.Quote:

Anyway I'm with gael on this one, if Noel O'Connor is involved in this as manager then I'm taking my chips off the Limerick 1937 table (can we try and get Soccer Limerick to call them that instead of 37?). I've had enough of watching his souless brand of football for this lifetime
Heard from a reliable source that Tommy Lynch is set to be the new manager,I for one think it is a good signing,he has LOI experience plus Junior management experience.
Best of luck Tommy.
Tommy Lynch has no qualifications has he?
Manager of what, exactly?? :confused: Until the application is actually approved and Limerick 37 are part of the Eircom League, there is nothing to manage. That knob Drew actually has a pretty good case on paper, given that none of the established clubs like Cork City, Shels, St Pats, Derry, etc had to actually apply to be a part of this new league, and Delaney did kinda shaft him. Now, I pray to jesus that he gets laughed out of court, but you never know...Quote:

I hope it is accepted for the sake of football in Limerick, but I wouldn't be accepting it as the done deal most of ye seem to be on this site.:ball:
what has he done in LOI or junior for that. only after one thing that guy is.Quote:

The league agreed participation agreements with all clubs already in - the FAI cannot be forced to sign a particiaption agreement with anyone. The licence and the membership of the league are two distinct things. Even if Limerick FC got a licence it does not mean they woudl automatically be accepted to join the new FAI league. If the FAI wish to sign a participation with an alternative Limerick club then that is their perogative. It might be unfair on DD but it is absolutely not illegal. And being granted an injunction is not an indicaiton that he has a case - IMO next week will see a finding for the FAI.:ball:Quote:

is tommy lynch the last man standing in terms of candidates,he also managed limerick and kilkenny without success.his junior exploits have seen park rangers,shelbourne,hill celtic suffer both on and off the pitch,mind you h.celtic dont seem to mind.if lims37 have applied surely a managers name accompanied the application.lims37 have it all to do so..expect the worst,hope for the best,accept what comes.we need a senior team on the field.
when will there actually be a decision on the manager so we can put an end to the speculation?Quote:

kinda of a viscous circle, get license, appoint manager , sign players .....what players (surely they all won't wait incase they miss another bus elsewhere)Quote:

Well said!Quote:
