Why would you give the thread the title of "finnan gone", which suggests it is a fact, when you are actually just posting rumours you want information on.
Can somebody change the thread title please?
any truth that finnan has done the right thing for once and left the club

He was poor against Luton, but I hardly think he's going to be sold after that game.
They were all poor against Luton including Jamie "The boxer" Carragher and Stevie CourageousOriginally Posted by Roadend
I think it's very unfair the way Finnan is being singled out here
Begrudgery because he's a local lad??
If he was English they wouldn't have said a word but that's the tabloids for you.
Disgusting
Rumour has it he going back to his local team Janesboro FC. Pike wont be happy with that, supppose it shows the lads puts pride over money which is good to see in the modern game

In fairness, Arbeloa has come out in support of Finnan for what its worth.
Never heard of him
Must be Steve Finnan's uncle or something but where is gone is the question? I wish him the best of luck in his new job

From the Limerick Leader
CONCERNS are mounting that financial issues regarding Limerick 37 football club could cost the city its place in the Eircom League First Division and bring to an end Shannonside's 70-year history as a national league side.
For some time rumours have suggested that the club, which was awarded a 'licence' to participate in the Eircom League by the FAI's First Instance Committee on February 9 last, was in a financially unstable position.
Three weeks ago (December 22) the Limerick Leader printed a detailed interview with interim CEO Ger Finnin in an effort to clear the air with regard to rumours concerning out-going manager Paul McGee and the financial health of the club.
In that interview Ger Finnin assured the Limerick soccer community that the future was bright: "No one is saying that the club doesn't have problems and if anyone says we owe money they're one hundred per cent right.
"We've experienced the same problems any business would in its first year of existence. The club hasn't an overdraft, no loans and no corporate investment. We're working off money we can get into the club and no more than that. In those circumstances you have to expect operating losses, but it's no different than any other business. The club owes money, but nothing serious and nothing we can't overcome. We have operational debts, not outstanding debts."
The events of the last week however would appear to contradict Finnin's assurances.
Last Saturday afternoon the club's board of directors and the board of management met to discuss plans for the forthcoming season - the Eircom League programme is due to begin on March 7 next.
However those attending that meeting were shocked when they were presented with a financial picture of the club - several issues have arisen regarding the club accounts, tax liabilities and a number of other outstanding debts.
That meeting lasted several hours and was eventually adjourned until Monday evening last, but once more no satisfactory solution could be reached.
On Tuesday night representatives of Limerick 37 and the LDMC (Limerick District League Management Committee) met to discuss issues pertinent to the LDMC - the LDMC own Jackman Park and as such provide a playing facility for Limerick 37.
On Wednesday evening representatives of the FAI met with representatives from Limerick 37 and representatives from the LDMC in an effort to save the situation - the FAI have made it obvious that they are committed to maintaining a senior soccer club in Limerick and are prepared to go to great lengths to do so.
Tonight (Thursday) the Limerick 37 management committee has scheduled a meeting to discuss what has taken place during the past week and to plan where the club can go from here.
Interim CEO Ger Finnin and the Limerick 37 board of directors have been offered an opportunity by
the Limerick Leader to make a statement regarding the current financial situation, but have not taken the opportunity to do so.
While we appreciate that the parties involved do not want to jeopardize the future of the club by discussing financial matters in a public forum we hope that some measure is taken in the near future to set the record straight.
Once more the city is awash with rumours concerning the club in general and concerning interim CEO Ger Finnin in particular - one would hope that these rumours can be quashed as soon as possible by representatives of the club.
At time of going to press, although Limerick 37 is struggling finically, it is still an Eircom League club.
The Limerick Leader is certain that all parties involved have the best interests of Limerick senior soccer at heart and we hope that the club's financial situation has not reached an irretrievable stage.
