Apparently there will be an announcement Monday? Someone has the job anyway.

In todays papers it says that Phil Brown is out. One has Mick Cooke as favorite, the other says Peter Taylor.

Johnny Glynn??? any takers

What I heard was that Brown had looked for crazy money. Probably not a bad thing, because he'd have jumped ship as soon as an English job opened up.

what the hell has Johnny Glynn ever done to merit a job in the premier division? I'm shocked that anyone would even suggest that he could be a candidate..........

No need to be too shocked he was interviewed for the position

people get interviewed for positions all the time and it doesn't mean they're contenders. Still haven't heard what he has done to merit even being considered.

I was looking for opinions you obviously don't rate him, as for your question you can ask Pat O Sullivan that

I suppose everyone that met the requirements was entitled to an interview at least.

Glad to see Brown turned down if he wanted too much money, it will show people the club aren't prepared to pay ridiculous money for a big name.

Can't see why Mick Cooke would leave Drogheda at the moment.

I was hoping it wouldn't be an Irish manager because the players that are still available in Ireland are not great at all really so it would have been nice if the new man had some contacts in England to get a few over.

Id be shocked if Glynn got it myself he has done nothing he would be in no way a step forward from Scully imo.

what a farce this whole episode has become,the club should have had someone lined up prior to scullys departure,now we have had this long drawn out mess of its TAYLOR no its KERR no its BROWN etc etc.....for anyone serious about their soccer its been an embarassment,the bottom line here is we will be appointing anyone but them or like them...it could even be glynn,but....i fancy a big mac myself.

They had no-one in line because Scully leaving wasn't planned in advance.

I was hoping for something better then someone like Johnny Mc but anything will do at this stage.

I think if they had someone lined up before getting rid of Skully, people would have been equally if not more disgusted by the situation.

A few people seem to think Johnny Mc would be a great choice but he has done absolutely nothing as a manager really.

I don't know, it has been a real pleasure to see lads coming through from our u19s into the side, I'd hate to see their careers paused at a key stage when it does look like some of them will be plenty good enough, in favour of mercenary players following a mercenary manager. That would be the worry with a guy like Brown in particular. I would hope whoever comes in it will be stipulated that his tenure must include bringing on those young lads wherever possible, and not just packing the side with journeymen from English lower leagues. That Limerick youth is the real future of the club, and capable of delivering a bright future also in time, if nurtured in tandem with the clubs reemergence.

That would all be fine if there were players in the current u19s team good enough to come through to the first team this season and at the minute their isn't. Anybody signed in the LOI is gonna be a mercenary really anyway, we need to improve the squad if we are to do anything decent this season.

And generating such interest in the club is a bad thing why?

When's the last time there was so much media coverage nationally about Limerick FC?

Also, it's only been a few weeks, just be glad they're taking their time and choosing who they think is right for the club.
