Transfer Rumours 2016 season

**pineapple stu** · 25/11/2015, 2:45 PM

I see what you mean - although we didn't lose more players than we usually lose that year to be honest. I think we were always likely to be in a relegation battle, so from that point of view, he had little to lose, I'd have thought.

One of the main things that happened in 2014 was that one team half-time talk was moved to the dug-out and reconvened sans manager - no amount of players lost really gives a reason for that.

Anyways, as others have said, if he's joined the coaching staff with Waterford, then it's a very good appointment. He was with us before as a coach as well and it worked very well. But not sure about management, for whatever reason.

He's our new assistant. Good bit of LOI experience in the management now. Didn't know much about him so its great the above. Some positive signs for next season. Sounds like we'll be back to been competitive in the 2016 season. The less said about the last two seasons the better.

It was said last week by Roddy Aaron is coming on board, and he mentioned it again on the radio this week. Was also told Roddy said it in the program notes on the last game of the season against UCD, that night it was announced Michael Garland is joining the board.

Rovers about to offer Gavin Brennan another contract???

You couldn't make this stuff up.

**Philosophizer** · 25/11/2015, 3:43 PM

He might look a bit awkward and clumpy at times, but he's a much better player than you seem to think.

I saw him play a few times last year, even one match at left back. Can be very effective on his day.

Ya Gavin Brennan always seems to do a decent job. Solid enough footballer in fairness.

He's a good player. Would prefer if he was only a squad player (assuming he's not going to become an awful lot better than he currently is) but we'll see how the rest of the winter pans out.

Schlingermann not re signing for Drogs. Not quite sure where's off to, but word is it's Longford, one way or the other good luck to him, did very well last season for us.

Last thing Limerick need if you ask me.

Desperately something exactly like him against Harps tbh.

Good to see Callaghan back involved in the LoI. Encourages players to play a nice style of soccer, maybe the influence of his Crewe Alex playing days. As been mentioned had a good first season at Bohs and the play-off v Galway was tighter than the score would suggest.

**pineapple stu** · 25/11/2015, 11:16 PM

The UCD play-off?

Got what we deserved in that. Taking off a forward to put a centre-half up front for 45 minutes when trying to chase a game?

Yea a great coach. I know a few boys who played under him in UCD... said he was a woeful manager but a great coach.

Whatever about his management skills, his teams always played nice football.
Some just aren't cut out to be managers.
Glad to see him back in the game.

Definitely not Waterford for Schlingermann. They are signing a keeper who has played LOI before but who's currently on the USA. Haven't a name for you yet

Heard Shels are in for him.

I'm a bit surprised. There was a lot of hype about him this season, yet none of the top teams seem interested.

**Charlie Darwin** · 26/11/2015, 10:18 AM

None of the top teams need a goalkeeper who conceded 60 goals last season. He's a Premier League goalkeeper though so no idea why he'd go to Shels or Waterford.
