Keely Steps Down.

Why in the name of jaysus would Pat Scully leave Limerick for Drogheda or Shels??

Money, less to travel to work, doesn't want to be assassinated by the FAI

Becasue DUFC play in the premier division and limerick dont .Not that id want him anywhere near our club but anyway !

[Lim till i die]

Money,

Debatable.

less to travel to work

Is the commute from Naas to Drogheda really that much better than Naas to Limerick? Genuine Question btw.

doesn't want to be assassinated by the FAI

Fair Comment

Becasue DUFC play in the premier division and are a complete shambles both on and off the pitch whereas Limerick are not

Fixed that for you lad.

[CSFShels]

It is definitely Matthews taking over, no point in even discussing other candidates, it is pretty much a done deal.

[sheao]

Mathews was the first name that came into my head about the new Shels manager.

[GalwayRed]

Also with Dermot being kept on and Alan being brought in, is that much needed money gone out of the playing budget or what's the craic??

As far as I'm aware the youth development within the club is undergoing a change which will save money for the club so I dont think this would change the playing budget.
I dont expect great football under Matthews or anything but he might make us a little less predictable. Time will tell.

[razor]

What about Roddy?
He'd be a great appointment for them.

[Buile Shuibhne]

Done deal. Mathews has the job. Can't start for a few weeks yet.

[**FrOsTy**]

Gareth Cronin - Drogs

Shels sack Keely

Matthews - Shels!

Part one of my prediction is coming true! Should of went to Paddys and stuck a score on it

[Dunny]

Why's that?

There was a vacancy as Youth Development Officer as Robbie Hoey had left that position last month to take up a position with the FAI so no upsetting the budget there....

[Sam_Heggy]

Who runs the A league side for Shels?

[ndrog]

Debatable.

No mate limerick are a model club ffs ! What do you know about DUFC ? Off the pitch or on for that matter , come to many games do you ? Dufc are more attractive proposition for the likes of scully than limerick are , dont think there is much debate there . Different division and closer to where hes based etc etc .But as i said before you can keep him .He took control of one game in his time here at Drogheda and it didnt go to well ! Anyone with any sense here wants Gill . Best of luck getting out of the first div , might see you next season if things dont go well for us .

[De Town]

So Sir Alan won't be in charge for Tuesday night no?

Every knows about how poor you've been on the pitch. And everypne knows that Matthews didn't get anywhere near the budget he was initially promised by your board (hence players like Conor Kenna leaving). None of this is any secret, and if we know about it, then the close knit group of LOI managers know even more detail.

I'd say there's a fair bit of debte whether managing Drogheda on the way down, or Limerick on the way up is more attractive. Definitely not clear cut

its a bit like going down on the titanic and then been picked up by the marie cleste

[Mr A]

Any word of an official appointment being made?

[danthesaint]

i thought it was done and dusted, Matthews in as boss

[GlasnevinRed]

Nothing official confirmed yet. Collie O'Neill still in charge for now.

[Martinho II]

Nothing official confirmed yet. Collie O'Neill still in charge for now.

for how long though I wonder? Is O'Neill a candidate at all?
