You hit the nail on the head there 4...Well said.

It looks unlikely that a manager will be appointed in the comming weeks. The cost is prohibitive and with NOC massive pay off i wouldnt blame them. Eoin Kallackey left the club last night to take up a role with the FAI womans team. Best of luck Eoin.

What cost on success then? With all due respect the sooner we get our chairman out of the dugout the better. If the rumours are true anyway there's not many on the fabled shortlist of five who are going to break the bank. If we are pinching pennies what the hell are we doing appointing goalkeeping coaches too? All of a sudden the non existent jersey sales money is looking more significant.

Does anybody know what the turover is at Limerick FC. I just guessing here but I reckon that there is no way it is more than 300,000 Euro. A 30,000 Euro pay-off for a manager is going to hit any First division club very hard.

You're right - but I don't begrudge NOC this money. If he is entitled then he is entitled. If he didn't take it he would effectively be funding the club to the tune of 30k. That's a lot of money for anyone. He obviously had a contract and that cuts both ways. If he saw out his contract he could have been removed without any compensation. It is tough for the club - but that is not NOC's concern. At least not any more.

Meeting Derry was bad form however. Whatever he did with them they contacted him in order to get extra advantage over Limerick (even though they may not have needed it). He didn't have to meet them and it does leave a sour taste that he did.

If that's the choice I vote for Mike Bassett - though Jim Royle would be a good catch at this rate.

**JohnD** · 19/09/2006, 9:44 AM

Jim Royle ? !!! ....My Arse !!

**lfc at heart** · 19/09/2006, 1:46 PM

Lads NOC is gone,any chance of ye lot getting over it and moving on reading about him 4+ weeks after he is gone is getting a bit boring to say the least. any chance ye point out the possitive things about the club

move on people ye are starting to get boring........

**LFC in Exile** · 19/09/2006, 1:58 PM

I didn't think we were going on about NOC - he's yesterday's man. We were talking about the managerial vacancy at the club - which is still very much exercising fans - which can hardly be surprising.

I'll have you know my managerial achievements include guiding Limerick to third place in a Champions league group which included Real Madrid, Galatasaray and Manchester United. JP Stokes got the crucial winner over in Istanbul in our final group game

So why not go and read something else if you're that bored perhaps? You're hardly forced to read this page.

To end on a positive note perhaps you should spend some of your net time on the club's webpage instead of this one if you want to hear about 'more positive things at the club'?

**True View** · 19/09/2006, 8:59 PM

Just my opinion but I think Tommy Lynch will be the new manager.
I think he is being given a "coaching position" for both parties, i.e. him & the club to get a feel for each other & if both are happy at the end of the season he will take charge for next season.
Just my opinion of course but I think he could do a good job

**plasticpitch** · 20/09/2006, 2:06 AM

Who will the players play for??
Lads Limerick have some fantastic players. The big thing from what i can make out was that the better junior players in limerick didnt want to be trawling all over the country playing athlone and finn harps etc. IMO limerick are(should) be a premier club at least and then should be challenging for uefa and champ league competition. Look at drogheda derry etc.
The new manager should be able to get the best from his players and there should be mutual respect between both parties.
If this can be sorted i have no doubt that LFC will be back at the top of LOI soccer

That's it. I knew we were missing something. Limerick should be a premier club.
The manager shoudl get the besr from his players. Will you give DD a shout and tell him that you've realised where we've been going wrong for the last 15 years. Sound, that's al sorted. Can't wait for the trip to the Brandywell next season.

Sorry for being so sarcastic - but seriously....

Its funny that, that your quote ended on boring as it is the one word which went side by side with our football over the last 15 months. yea right and we've not been talking about Sam Allardyce at all asking for him to come back (bungs or no bungs)
NOC has been involved in Limerick Fc so therefore he is part of our history so yes we can talk about him as much as anyone wants too. I think also putting us through four seasons of the most boring football is justification for anyone talking either good or bad on NOC

No bother!!
Well LIE if you think that limerick should not be a premier club then i really cant say that they should.
I mean a city the size of limerick, shouldnt really have a team as good as a university in dublin or a small town in the midwest of ireland (longfort).
what the hell was i thinking???
