As chatter of FAI issues take a lull a good old controversy in LoI helps take the heat off also!

The only time RTE will talk about Limerick FC anyway.

Did Limerick ban RTE from saying anything about them too lol, or is that another club's tactic?

If things weren't bad enough in Limerick,Sean Conner is apparently being brought in by Pat O'Sullivan !

**Treaty Gooner** · 28/04/2019, 9:16 PM

Going from the sublime to the ridiculous if rumours about Big Sean Connor coming in are true

Well it wont be bland stuff at Limerick so..both on or off the park. Maybe Sullivan should be reminded about the cost of fines for red cards and look at the Sean Connor Dundalk record!

Alleged irregular betting patterns were also a feature of his stint at Oriel Park. Fran Gavin even addressed both teams in the dressing rooms before one particular match.

Also sacked from Bohs at least partially over sexual harassment claims!

Not the first time O'Sullivan has tried to get him in, though baffled as to why exactly. Limerick FC is looking deader and deader every day.

Conner can talk a good game and be very convincing if you don't know his history. But if you are are running an LOI club you should know the history of the people you're bringing in.

**Jofspring** · 29/04/2019, 9:29 AM

Ring a few.clubs for references would be a good start.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 29/04/2019, 10:21 AM

Or look up his Wikipedia page.

Or Foot, I know people involved in the club read up here occasionally!

Need to tread carefully here lads.

AFAIK Mr. Connors was granted ethnic status by Enda Kenny during the last dail.

My understanding of this is that Mr. Connors has carte blanche to do whatever he likes.

Certainly a convincing character but his track record should be a deterrent to any LOI club even considering hiring him.Limerick tottering from the sublime to the ridiculous.

I wasnt actually being smart. I'd have presumed that after his 6 month jail sentence that he would have been allocated a probation officer. It's public record about his legal issues even if the offence was what some would consider harsh. Did he actually serve jail time or was he offered a probationary sentence?

Funny thing is that I think he could be a decent manager if everything was about football. He certainly could talk the talk. He did ok at Sligo, he can say he got Dundalk to Europe, he wasnt dreadful in football terms at Bohs.

Its all the other stuff, rumoured or otherwise that blotted his copybook. He isnt the worst manager that has graced LoI with just the football in mind. A Roddy led consortium to buy out Limerick is all that's missing in this. Get the popcorn ready....
