Paul O'Donnell sacked as manager of A team.

It's strange for an A team manager to be sacked. Was it a paid position? If so, perhaps it is just a cost cutting measure.
what a joke that is letting Paul go,he has been with the club for 3 years and brought alot of the current squad to the club.
Is there more to this? Personal reasons or anything or was it just results based. Harsh if its because of results. Only Limericks second season in the A league after a break last year so much wasn't expected from the team anyway.

Was he a Scully appointment? If not, maybe Scully wanted to bring in his own management which is understandable, but given his experience both with the club and local football it seems a strange one.
find that a strange one...
sick of narcissists.....
he was at the club before Scully was appointed. In fact, he took charge for the first few games last season when the club was managerless, didn't he?
He was realeased last night in a disgraceful manner, he has given a very good 3 years with the club, they (limerick) could have gave O Donnell alittle respect, but im sure everything isnt above board.
How did he get Released, letter etc....
Keep this clean lads. No speculation, he said, she said etc....and no personal abuse.
Thanks.
wheres the personal abuse.
I put it up simply to request that there is to be nothing personal, abusive or speculative posted as it has the potential to become a sensitive subject for some. I don't want to have to start editing every post. Thats all.
Maybe he didn't get on with people involved with him.
Maybe the fact that the As training consisted of passing a ball to each other then going into a match.
Who did he bring to the club?
How was it disgraceful how he was released by the way poolman?
Perhaps you can tell us then why he deserved to lose his job? It seems that you are in the know and seem to think he deserved it. I'm sure poolman will throw in his two cents worth
A team is meant to be feeding players to the First team and all they do most days at training is play a match not exactly great preparation.
In most LOI clubs the purpose of the A team is to keep fringe players fit, and available should the first team gaffer want to use them. I think Scully should have made this move at the start of the season and not now if he didn't want O'Donnell there. It doesn't send out the right message, and is bound to have an unsettling effect on those close to O'Donnell in both squads. All an A team manager is in effect is a go-between the first team manager and his fringe players, so therefore I don't see how its part of a 'clearout' as the thread title suggests. Is there more to be let go?
From what i hear more to come but would make sense to change title until that happens.
Not too many were upset about it when they found out tbh.
Why does it not send out the right message would the right message be to let a man that thinks a match is good enough for training stay?
Limericks A team is made up of young lads that are to gain experience before making the step up to first team thats why they choose to have an A team unlike prem clubs who have to have one.
