Are they officially gone?
They wonât be granted a license for the new season unless they can bring in some new investment. Theyâll need to prove that the issues regarding payments of players wages/expenses wonât happen again. Not much they can do about the match fixing though.
Limerick seemed to have slipped through the net with regards getting a license last year
Junior soccer is king in Limerick⌠Theyâre very clannish and parochial
Donkey Fordâs and Fuscoâs reported to be devastated with the news.
Iâd say he was over to Fuscos at Half Time
Was decent for the club tho, likeable guy too.
I wonder are the boys over in Asia going investing
Potentially a big day for the club.
Case number 3 today in Ennis Courthouse sees Munster Football Club Limited trading as Limerick FC appear before the courts for an update on the status of their examinership.
Itâs time LOI soccer was let die in town. The appetite isnât there for it.
Canât be true mate, there was a massive bandwagon for it not so long ago, few lads on here lead a charge to Donegal and all.
I think theyâll need to let this version die and launch a new club from scratch altogether
Didnât they try that with Limerick 37, and Limerick United.
Thereâs no appetite for it. Sure the better players in town are getting more money off junior clubs and donât have to travel to fucking saint Melâs of a wet Friday evening.
Theyâd get a thousand a week handy enough if it was done right. Enough to build a base for the club and the academy and keep itself ticking over without doing anything mental
How come no one has managed this so far though? Iâd be all for having a team there (admittedly work would see me getting to very few games) but at what point does it just become a failed experiment? Soccer in Limerick still seems to very strong but having a LOI team there just doesnt seem to be working
Basically every League of Ireland club is run at a loss. Donât think there are any clubs who have the attendances to pay a full-time squad. European revenues help but there is no TV money or prize money worth talking about.
Pat just ran out of money.
They just need to live within their means. Pat spunked a small fortune against the wall. The team went basically amateur for a finish this season and still held their own in division one. A few years of consolidating there and build a base and then look at trying to get up
You are probably right, but is it worth having an amateur team with no support just for the sake of it? It becomes pointless if fellas can get more playing for a local side rather than the LOI side.
