[jebus]

More than 400, Kerley was on a Premier League wage

[prince20]

Has this appointment been confirmed yet?

[harpin]

wasnt kerley getting 400e a week scully would def get more

More than that sure that was only an hours training in Corbally

Heard this on news at nine this morning on Spin South West (Limericks New Sponsor) News. Must be true if they are saying it considering their link to Limerick FC. Great Appointment in my eyes. Could maybe push for promotion based on his previous records with other clubs.

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.

would he be able to get the likes of Robbie Kelliher back interested and fit, he'd be a great addition if he could!!

I'd love to see a fit, focused Robbie Kelleher back. One of the most naturally gifted footballers I've ever seen play for Limerick. Don't know the ins and outs but not convinced he's all all that pushed about coming back. Scully took him to Rovers though didn't he? So maybe.

on a different note, does anybody know where jimmy fyfe is playing these days or if at all!!

Don't think he is playing anymore.

senior blue maybe deserves an apology off "the people in the know" on this site. didnt something like this happen when kerley left. someone posted in saying he was gone and he was attacked on this site. some people need to get over themselves.

great appointment by the club. hopefully Limerick can match his standards and ambitions.

[Denis The Red]

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.

[balanced view]

totally agree with you denis. I know the people involved do great voluntary work for the club but they need not be so offended if someone got the story before ye. more importantly anyway hopefully this will kick start our season.

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.

Thought wayne played excellent last season. Hughes and wayne aren't the biggest but when they played a few matches together last season they practically ran the midfield. The sooner the two are back the better.

Last year, yes, this year, so far, no

Wayne was our best player last year in my opinion.
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

...oh yeah, and thats brilliant news about Pat Scully, this is gonna be great

Infairness 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.

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.
