Pat was roaring and shouting at the display in the stand today anyway. He wasnât a happy camper.
It wasnât exactly a ringing endorsement to give him only a one year contract after promotion. In fact he (Russell) was very close to leaving in the off season.
I predict Russell will be gone by the end of the season, if not well before it.
Bring back Tommy Lynch
Weâll be relying on the prayers of Father Joe to avoid relegation going by the displays over the past week.
Heâs a bit of a gimp and overdoing things/over thinkinking for the sake of it.
Is this real ??
Yeah, Iâm not joking and I got it from a source that Iâd trust. @dodgy_keeperâs post seems to back it up too.
Why ?? They gave the man a budget and now talking of sacking after 4 games where results have been ok .
I donât know how much involvement Russell had in the transfers tbh, I would say minimal enough. There was talk that he would be let go during the off season. I think that would have been harsh to be fair.
And the opening result was very good obviously, and Dundalk away was expected to be a loss and had a decent performance. But only 1 point from two home games against Bohs & Harps is bad. Neither of those sides are good teams and with the players they brought in, we should be winning. Still very early in the season obviously.
But more worryingly than the actual results was the performances, and being way too slow to change things/making the wrong changes. Russell has a reputation for naively playing nice football, but the Harps game was bad, and the second half of the Bohs game was too.
I think it would be very harsh to sack him, but itâs a cutthroat league this year and we need to start picking up points. Pat has very high expectations, perhaps unrealistic, but just surviving wonât be enough for Russell.
Signed former Rangers midfielder Tom Walsh. Was their youngest ever debutant, played lots of games for Scotland up to U-19 level.
Iâll be up to boo him next week.
And Limerick have a former Rangers coach aswell who could now be the next manager? Sounds like we are the newest addition to the blues brothers! Chelsea,Rangers,Linfield and Limerick.
Whoâs the former Rangers coach?
Ally Dawson former Rangers star played for Limerick in 1990/91 . Not for long .
Malky Thomson.
Sure he left with Taylor didnât he?
Heâs not still there, is he??
I didnât see him the last day anyway.
'Allo 'Allo we are the Billy boysâŚ
Aboy thâkid, We are the Billy boys
No he went before Taylor but he is tipped to be one of the main runners to be next manager.
Signed Tobias Kainz aswell, who was on trial in pre-season, heâs on the bench tonight.
Clarke starts in goal ahead of Hall, OâConor gets the nod ahead of Hery in midfield. Lynch, Ogbene & Turner all start.
