manager vacancy

Copy of tweet is on limerick junior soccer on Facebook please be a fake :O

**Jofspring** · 13/12/2012, 4:42 PM

Just saw the picture of the tweet. His twitter page has a different picture and just says Kevin Kilbane were as the other one announcing he has joined limerick says Kevin Daniel Kilbane.

Kilbane's actual twitter: https://twitter.com/kdkilbane77

Anyway, Killer joining Limerick probably wouldn't be too consistent with this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20658881, or with his journalistic ambitions

Steve Staunton was spotted in town today...hopefully doing a bit of xmas shopping

**nigel-harps1954** · 14/12/2012, 11:39 AM

Still no word I assume?

I thought they had hoped to make an announcement this week? Was there any official lines from the club this week at all?

Not a peep from the club. All the recent articles have come with no comment from the club or any manager interviewed.

Any updates yet? I'm a small but concerned with the fact we still have only 6 players signed up, while most premier teams are settling their squads.
I know there are 2 clubs back doing some training already, while a few others have gotten their squads together for testing. Less than 10 days to Christmas, and realistically, the club will be going in to the new year very under prepared!

Kevin Kilbane confirmed he held talks on the Late Late Friday night. He wasn't prepared to expand any more though. He did say missing his family played a big part in his retirement from playing so going to Limerick may not suit him.

When they find one

**wonder88** · 16/12/2012, 8:08 PM

What sort of money are we talking about here ? Will the new manager be paid more than the guy at Sligo for example or Stephen Kenny/Mick O Neill wages at Shemrock Rovers.

I'd be surprised if anyone outside the club would know what any potential manager could or will be getting.

No news of manager or ground not too worried it will be sorted and hopefully soon enough

6 Players signed obviously we wait for the new manager to see what he wants but did anyone hear of player(s) unrest with regards to money that some were on and others wanted....just a rumour

Yes... I heard those stories from a friend of mine. I actually heard it first at the end of last season, that the players weren't happy with how low-key the celebrations were. I've heard it come up now and again that that's why there are only a few signed on. You never know how true they are, but there probably is a small element of truth in it. It would explain why Gaffney, O'Leary and Tracy weren't signed up straight away.
I would like some movement before Christmas though on players signing.

I'd love if the faint rumors of Mick Cooke were true , but I just can't see that happening, not unless he was offered way more than he's currently getting at Drogheda..

Worried noises coming out of Drogheda. Rumours of big bucks on offer.

Maybe nothing, but.....

Gaffney hasn't signed anything because he has just had an operation on his foot and they are waiting to see how it heals up. O'Leary is very happy with the money he was offered (i dont know how much) but he wants to wait and see who the manager is before he signs. I haven't a clue on Tracy.

I sent that to my source and this is his response "You're half right with O'Leary. He is waiting to see who the manager is. But you're wrong bout the money.

Gaffney and Tracy have rejected their contract offers."

The truth is usually somewhere in the middle of what the club says and what the players say.

No offence but your source must be absolutely class if he knows more then Rory and Dave about their own situations.

That's the only one I heard...but as I said before only a rumour
