You'll have to scan it and post because I don't buy tit'n'arse rags ...Loaded, Maxim, Nuts and Barely Legal aside of course.

EL clubs are not profitable. End of. None of them have been since going semi-pro, or fully pro. The expenses, wages and maintenance are way too high to be upkept. If any club could have made money in the past decade it would have been Cork City, and they couldn't do it either and they have a huge fan base and a great professional attitude and set-up. The gates simply can't sustain the expense.


The next step for the club, in whatever guise it may take, is simple. I'm sick to the back teeth over the past 24 years of listening to 'investors' such as Mickey Webb, Pat Grace, Peter Hogan, Danny Drew, Ger Finnin et al who are going to 'put Limerick soccer back where it belongs'. Being honest, since 1984 this club in its various guises has been fit for the toilet, with one idiot after the next trying to get rich quick and win trophies in their first year.

The FAI have to step in and take complete control of the club, and appoint a well paid, commercially minded outsider to get a foundation in place. If the club starts to look and feel like a club for about 5 solid seasons, then let us start to get ambitious and seek on-field success. Until then, and I include myself in this, I suggest we all shut the hell up and start to smell the coffee and accept the situation for the dire farce that it is.

Mickey Webb RIP should not be on that list. He was there before Grace and ran the club well for many years.

It's not the FAI's job to run senior football in Limerick. They are responsible for the league not for clubs. We do need a proper board of directors and proper investment.

I agree with you about Mickey Webb, however he was prone to pulling the odd stroke or two, but always had the clubs best intentions at heart, so I'll agree with you there and will remove him form the list.

It may not be the FAI's job to run senior football in Limerick, but someone responsible is going to have to step in in the interim and I believe that if they appoint a full time GM then that will help greatly.

One thing is for sure. . . an Ebbsfleet united approach wouldn't work with this disparate bunch

[starbar]

what limerick need to operate like a junior clubcut costs i.e. no players getting paid
try get a few sponsers that will pick up the tab in away matches
try get a good working committee fund raising through race nites maybe a lotto
there no quick fix limerick 37 could survive with the rite people at the helm
in most junior clubs around town u have very succesfull business involved
ger finnan had no experince at running a club,business like limk37 ,the over heads are too great for limerick to survive,the club should be run like a business and thats not happening
a shame really but the doors are going to close on limerick 37 and thats FACT

[Lim till i die]

Anybody like to shed any light on why Finnin has done the decent thing and resigned?

Answer your phone every now and again

I have no fact mind, just loads of lovely theory

[jebus]

I heard Finnin was single handedly behind the abduction, and alien replacement of, George W back in 1999. My sources also tell me that George W is actually a fine individual, who would have been a great asset to this world as US President had Finnin and his cronies not made their power play

I didnt see todays Star, but there was an article in the indo, something along the lines of ;

New Finglas A-league team waiting to join 1st division in case of demise of Limerick or Kilkenny

John Delaney reportedly speaking of the need to keep Buckley Park available for Irish soccer in the event of kilkenny's demise

John delaney reportedly speaking of investors ("money men" as they put it) in the Limerick area.

All a bit vague, but reading between the lines it looks like Kilkennys fate may be sealed and there is a glimmer of hope for us yet.
