Definitely? According to the indo he is yet to be interviewed.

**thomas72** · 03/12/2012, 10:15 AM

Its all well and good interviewing all these big names but they know absolutely nothing about this league and its players what players would they go after in our league with so little knowledge. I just think a manager with loi experience would suit us better.

If any manager came from England they would have to have someone that knows the league as second in command. Baraclough kept the whole back team from Sligo for that reason.

I agree with Jofspring that a good, local assistant would offset the disadvantages of bringing somebody in from abroad. The other side of that coin too is the players they might bring with them (Michael O'Neill bringing Twigg to Shamrock Rovers is a case in point).

Except, haven't half the back room team walked already with Scully? If it is Brown, then I'd really want a top notch number two in there with him, because there's no point taking a gamble on someone who never knew Limerick even existed.

Ya the back room team are gone as it stands but the club have also asked for cv's to be set in re the assistants job.

Then what about the other 5 or 6 who were there? They going to invite CVs for those positions?
Maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit, but surely Phil Brown is going to cost upwards of 100K for a year?

Well all they really need is a manager and a coach or 2 surely?

It's only supposed to be at the interview stage so if phil brown wanted big money they could just go for someone else.

**sadloserkid** · 03/12/2012, 2:20 PM

If Phil Brown (or anybody else) wants 100k a year then I think it's safe to assume that they just won't get the job. There is a perception out there that Limerick are paying out far more than is actually the case. This will definitely have informed the type of candidate we've attracted for the manager's position but equally I don't believe that O'Sullivan will throw silly money at the appointment so I don't think it's a big issue (it may be part of the reason that Brian Kerr removed himself from contention).

I don't doubt that it'll cost us some players too when they realise that they're not in line for five figure weekly salaries, fur coats and complimentary yachts. Ultimately the hope has to be that the club will put together a team that they (by which I mean Pat O'Sullivan really) can afford.

**Dodge** · 03/12/2012, 2:42 PM

All these lads have agents. They've no qualms about ringing clubs and asking what salaries are before applying. If candidates are appling, its safe to say they know what their salary will be

Thats not to say the likes of Brown have applied. I havent' a clue, but his agent will defo know the ball park salary
