LongFORD is in the midlands. We're the team in the mid west.Originally Posted by plasticpitch
That whizzing sound was obviously the point flying past.
Everyone here thinks LC should be a premier team. Everyone here thinks the manager should be able to get the best out of players. Everyone here thinks there should be mutual respect. The point is none of these are. Hoping something will happen or saying something should happen doesn't mean it does happen.

Partly true, Eoin has taken up a role with the FAI Women's Unit, but will be staying with Limerick until the end of the season. He asked me to clarify that.
I just heard from the horse's mouth that LFC have offered the job to Gavin Dykes and he said no.
Is Dave Connell still living in Limerick?
Nobody knows us, we don't care
Doesn´t really surprise me.....I know of one or two others who actually laughed out loud at the prospect of working with Danny Drew. He is a joke of a chairman, and has the respect of nobody in Eircom League circles. I know he saved the club a short time ago, but now he id ruining it as quickly as he saved it. His antics before, during and after games are a sight for sore eyes, and to be frank, he has the manners of a pig. I have had business dealings with him and his family outside of football, so I could see this coming a mile off when he took over the club.
He has endeared himself to nobody-players, manager, prospective managers, investors, the FAI.....NOBODY!! The club has no future with the likes of him involved.....none at all.
I agree with you, I think Danny drew is to-days version of Pat Grace, wants to get what he can (money wise) from the club, Ireland (Limerick) is too small a place to have a privater owner of a city soccer club, i heard he has bought a site in Ballysimon road and intends moving Limerick FC there, he can go alone I wont support them there, I think the FAI move is the best, how can it not be
While these theorys are great fun they overlook the fact that whatever else about Drew I don't think he's a simpleton. There must be at least 523,216 easier ways to make a quick buck in Limerick than buying the local Eircom League side
There isn't an F.A.I. option. Why should they invest in Limerick and not in Cork or Galway or even Longford for that matter? I don't think the F.A.i. have been anymore successful than Danny in getting a lease on Rathbane.
I've no problem with a private owner. There isn't a fortune to be made in LoI football (or indeed in World football) as an owner/investor. I can only think of Louis Kilcoyne who made a lot of money out of the game and they were special circumstances.
Investing in football is very much an emotional decision. Sure there are benefits in prestige, goodwill, good publicity etc as well as a bit of an ego trip.
however there are much easier ways to make money
In fairness to Pat Grace too he didn't get involved for the money. Certainly a lot of the problems can be traced back to his time but there were people involved in the club at the time purely because he was so wealthly and to take what they could. For such a wealthy and successful businessman I was amazed at how easily he (and the club) was fleeced. One guy bought a house for cash Grace left the club in a total mess from which it has never really recovered.
No he is back in Dublin. The last i heard he was managing Mount Merrion in the LSL.
If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
Is Billy Kinane still involved in football?
Not to the best of my knowledge.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
his training caherdavin why do you think they are going so well
I thiought Danny Donnan was in charge at Caherdavin??
in the star on friday it had a quote from drew sayin limerick have a manager but he is involved with another club at the moment so he won't be arriving till the end of the season, anybody have any idea who this might be.
The latest rumour (and I stress that's all it is) is that the incoming manager is currently a player with a club that's still in the Premier Division title race so make of that what you will.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I know its only a rumour but at least we can have a happy diversion. I can't think of anyone it could be. Now maybe if it was still involved in the relegation battle (alan reynolds?)
Could it be Colin O'Brien (has his badges yes?), Phil Harrington, Peter Hutton? Or if not a player, Mick Neville?

Cork can hardly be described as being in the title race after last Fridays debacle against Bray; Can't see Hutton coming down from Derry, and perhaps he is from Shelbourne, but not Mick Neville, I'd say.Could it be Colin O'Brien (has his badges yes?), Phil Harrington, Peter Hutton? Or if not a player, Mick Neville?
If the rumour is to be substiantiated and embellished along those lines, then how about Bobby Ryan as player manager next season?? He's still in the title race, is from Limerick......
He's also 27 with quite a few years left in the top flight.

Well I can't think of anyone else involved with Shels or Derry, currently playing, who could be linked with the job....
Phil Harrington seems to be the most likely option if that rumour is true
Business as usual
