There was a lot of talk around aswell that Gary Megson was in the running these names are mental surely wouldnt be interested in Limerick job.

Brian Laws, Paul Jewell, Gary Megson - has LoI become so low that it is recruiting failed Sheffield Wednesday managers ??!!

[NeverFeltBetter]

Seems like a lack of even rumors now. I'm guessing this won't be sorted before the New Year.

That and an ex-Hull boss made me uncomfortable seen as im from Leeds .

They would want to get their act together and fairly lively or we will be left with no team and only scraps letf to buy as all top players will be taken by other teams,maybe its a job too big for our backroom team but sort it asap.

I hope your wrong there. Pre-Season is supposed to start mid January so a manager before Christmas needs to be sorted.

I am a bit surprised that Limerick would want Mick Cooke, when I think Callaghan and Russell are much more impressive if the club is going to recruit a current premier LOI manager. It would be a big shock if Shane Tracy was let go, however with news emerging that 1k a week player contracts are back in fashion the premier divison could become a very scary place next year.

Brian O'Callaghan has signed,and Shane Tracy will be shortly,

Brian O'Callaghan? Really? Is that confirmed?

What have any of them done to be more impressive though?

Callaghan is a spoofer who's day willl come imo.

The circus in Tallaght papered over a lot of cracks for him.

Looking at it from the outside they didn't really beat anyone they weren't supposed to (other than the circus) they were bounced out of the cup at home to the worst Dundalk team of all time and they were an absolute shame faced disgrace in Europe.

Russell has a pudding of a job and zero expectation I'd be going nowhere if I was him.

If the news is true Limerick will be missing out on a lot of players

They're not happening at 10 of the 12 clubs

[Charlie Darwin]

Just Bray and UCD then.

It doesn't give the manager a lot of time but i hope they are taking there time for a good reason.

Yes,he has signed,and the way things are going half the youths team will be in the first team squad,it's turning into a farce at this stage,no manager,no new players signed,

It's dragging our alright but I wouldn't say farce. Over the years we have started the season with a manager two weeks before kick off and at one stage a month into the season. A lot of other teams have also been caught late. We still have 2 full months to kick of of the season. That should give any manager plenty of time.

It's fine having that long, but I'd wonder if people at the club realise how big of a step up the Premier is in terms of physicality. The last thing you want is starting the season with half a pre season behind you. Even if they don't have a manager yet, start signing some of the players at least and get them in to the gym.

I see that Sky Sports News were down from the north doing a story on Limerick to be broadcast soon, so the hype is building, should the club be targeting 8-10k for first game of the season. The publicity from sky might attract more interest from Britian so maybe the club should hold off picking a manager for another while.

Every single LOI club should be aiming for 8-10k for games but they will never ever get them unfortunately. 3-4k for first home game would be amazing but even that could be too much of a stretch.

The wait for a manager is dragging on as it is i see no benefits to waiting anyone that wants it will be in for it already imo.
