Well if Noel O'Connor or Aidan Ryan are anywhere near the place, I for one will not be attending any games next season, despite all the effort put in to saving senior socccer. Had enough of that s**t over the last few seasons, thank you very much!

I think NOC knows he's not liked or wanted on the terraces anyway

Terraces? Don't you mean grassy slopes?

I agree, NOC/AR had their chance to take Lims to to next level and failed, I don't believe in going back especially when those names are being mentioned, more to the point though what kind of a team can they possibly put together at such short notice, are we going to see players who played senior soccer a few seasons ago (who now play junior soccer) coming back, like Rossi, Hartnett and the like, are the likes of Chukka, Paddy, Robbie, Tommy, Derek and other of the better Lim Fc players going to sign up for Lim 37, would hate to see them go elsewhere.

No Manager has been appointed and any mumbles about the town are just that mumbles. 5 managers were interviewed and the process is not yet complete.

I hope so old keeper i really do. A wrong appointment could ruin all the good work done by the soccer limerick group in the past months. Fingers crossed and i hope that the licence application is successful.

Here here, and I'll go one further by saying forget about Noel O'Connor and his side kick anyway. Appoint them, and wave goodbye to any hope of a following at Jackman Park. I seriously hope that those conducting the interviews and making the appointment are privy to what went on at Limerick with the aforementioned over the years. Don't undoe all the good work lads....... Mike Kerely would be a no no as well, but bareable if it happened.

And don't for the love of god hand out long-term contracts!

**Monkfish** · 15/01/2007, 12:34 AM

Besides O'conner and Ryan i think most Limerick supporters would get behind whoevers in charge.

I agree with the sentiments on NOC but that siad I think its important that a new management team has appropriate coaching badges.

I hadn't thought of Ray O'Halloran to be honest - I think he manages Balla now? I am completely biased in supporting him because of his ability as a player and his long years of service to the club in what were really ****ty times.

I think he stopped managing Balla 2 seasons ago. He is not managing anyone at the moment (I think).

Im not sure if he would be the best person for the job but he does have a lot of LOI experience as a player and may have some contacts in order to get players. He would also have a good knowledge of the junior league (if he needed to go there to get players).

Are there many options for the managers job? Does the new setup have the financial backing to get in a top manager?

Don't think you'll find too many Limerick fans who are hostile to Mike Kerley

Looking back in hindsight in his two seasons with the club he did well with a good side and no money and then did terrible with a terrible side and no money. Kerleys sides always tried to play good football aswell

NOC on the otherhand, in his second spell in charge, did poorly with what was widely percieved among Limerick fans to be a good side. His teams also played a brand of football which alienated a lot of Limerick fans. He also had damaging rows with fan favourites like Derek McCarthy

Having said that on a personal level I've never had any problem with the man and you'd be fairly hard pressed to find a Limerick fan who does have a major problem with him

Well said, it's purely on football reasons...
