Yes thats him. It was "just" physical work.Originally Posted by whitestripe
I am under no illusions my friend, trust me I'v been in business long enough to recognise a professional attiude. Its about getting your job done to the best of your ability with the resources that are available, and most importantly its about the respect you show to everone you deal with.
Kieran Judge, Andrew and all the volunteers running the club have always put the best interest of Limerick FC first and foremost - can you tell me the same was true of MK?
Do you think it would have been clever to pay a reputed €400 an hour for the training facilities MK wanted - do you think Limerick FC can afford that? How much money do you think the club takes in over the off-season?
Did Limerick FC get their 1st division licence for 2009 at the first attempt, without any drama? - who do you think was responsible for that?
Did you see Limerick FC make the headlines last season due to debts or unpaid wages or any of the crap we've had under previous regimes? - who do you think was responsible for that monumental achievement?
Who was at fault for the only bad press we got last year - Wexfordgate? The actions of our former manager costing the club 3 points, a €1000 fine and major embarassment.
Any manager in the league would have given his right arm to be in MK's position at the end of last season. One of the top performing squads in the latter half of the season, with club, players and fans all on a high and everybody fully behind him, MK could not have had an easier job over the last couple of months - all he had to do was tap into the good vibe and get all our players signed up and prepared for the coming season (he's one of, if not the only manager who didnt have his budget cut). How he managed to **** that up is unforgivable.
Instead he gave the cold shoulder to two of our best players, driving them away to Wexford of all places, and unsettled the rest of the squad with his hystrionics over training facilities (the club arranged the best facilities they could without bankrupting themselves before the season even starts). We are well rid of him.

This, the Wexford decision and the decision about White and Sheehan, there's just a hint of a witch hunt about it all. These three points seem very ambiguous.
1. He may have been right not to warm up in Wexford if there was a chance of injury-so what if nobody else ever complained about the facilities, maybe now clubs will stand up about issues rather than toeing the line.
2. The training situation may have unsettled players without Kerley even commenting on it, I mean, you tell any squad to train in a few different places every wk and see how happy they are about it - budget or no budget. It was always going to be a put up or shut up choice.
3. Was White really up to national league level? Sheehan, despite his qualities has already been spoken of as a headless chicken. Fans favourites they may have been but with Cummins, Tierney, Manjor and Ryan at the front, and O'Callaghan, Purcell, Tommy etc etc at the back, they were probably two that maybe could have been allowed to leave without much protestation.
There's a lot more than meets the eye to all this and after the impact Kerley has had on Limerick's fortunes, I think I'll be reserving judgement. There's one or two posters who have inside info and they're welcome to it but they were also the ones who less than two weeks ago were defending Kerley to the hilt. Sharpen the pitchforks lads.
Ha?
Bit harsh considering the service the guy has given, don't you think? How many Limerick managers has he played under now? Think I'd be a bit tired of it all too.
Ha?
Yes that was a bit harsh in fairness.

Gentleman, KevB *doffs cap*
Not too many around here willing to take a 2nd look at their posts like that.
Ha?
As i've said before the fact we've a relatively stable club,which is being run with an eye to the future,is far far more important than who manages the team right now.At least we have a full fixture list to look forward to this season unlike Cobh or Kildare(maybe) and Kilkenny only a few seasons ago.And only for the FAI bottled it a couple of the Prem clubs would be out of business also.
Lets just back the club and whoever is given the managers job.
"We've had a lot of good times, but you don't know how good they are until you have the bad ones" Tony Adams
If Chumka Manjor was regarded as a better striker than Gary Sheehan, then we are infinitely better off without Mike the Bike.... Personally I've always thought MK was a bit of a strange one - good football but poor man management, strange decisions and no presence on the touchline.
A good manager is worth his weight in gold - lets hope for once we can look beyond our own noses and give it to a proper experienced LOI manager who can work with the talanted players we have. Appointing another mediocre manager from Limerick is not the way to go. We're in a recession so let's not give it to NOC for one cos he'll just depress everyone even further. If he gets it I'll be watching paint dry instead of goin to the games. Get a decent manager in and stop the messing - If it's worth paying Andrew Mawhinney big bucks to be the CEO it's worth paying a decent manager to actually give it a go with the youngsters we have. Would love to see Pete Mahon or John Gill here

Never been away "G"good to see you back "4", only thing is Andrew and all the volenteers are unpaid, and are out in Knockalisheen every day doing their bit for the club. great post by Kev above, free season ticket to that man, just couldn't be arsed posting anymore. It's turned in to a junior v senior moanfest on here most of the time
So Mawhinney is volunteering now? Hmm.......not up on the latest happenings, fair play if true, but I find that hard to be believe!
gael is spot on guys andrew is not getting any dosh,BUT,those high profile friendlys should...em....more than compensate for the lack of.
Been in Pikes shadow for a while now but a lot of peoples favourite for the FAI, so things hardly that bad regarding Fairview.must be bad down there
So in other words he is, it just depends on what he can bring in first. Was thinking the same, and is a fair agreement if true
i was on about being bad down with limerick that hes thinking of going back junior footieBeen in Pikes shadow for a while now but a lot of peoples favourite for the FAI, so things hardly that bad regarding Fairview.
Things are never that bad in fairness.
are you sure he is a volunteer, between himself and Kieran Judge last season they were getting €70k wages between then, imo even though KJ is doing a great job that wages is way over the top espectally seeing that he is only doing parttime, isnt he driving a cab as well,
shur give him a ring and ask him.
Thanks Gael, but I'll pay my €160 - the club needs the money. No freebiesgood to see you back "4", only thing is Andrew and all the volenteers are unpaid, and are out in Knockalisheen every day doing their bit for the club. great post by Kev above, free season ticket to that man
