Wouldn't be half impressive! Tried doing a save with Athlone, got them promoted in first season, finished second in the second season and 5 seasons in still in the same position, finances are so bad it's impossible to improve

I know that feeling mate im 10 seasons in and the finances are still rubbish, My biggest ever signing is 600k for Samuelsen and i have hardly signed anyone in a few years as i try to build our finances up, Im not sure how long its going to take before were a sustainable club, we need the fans to show up more often as the stadium holds 15k and it very rarely gets over 5,500 a match

A comfortable 3-0 win with Samuelsen on fine form setting up Boadu's, Carmo's and Ozil's goals to cap a man of the match display and a 6-1 on aggregate win.

So were ready to play in the most important fixture in the clubs history next in the Europa League Final where we will face German side Hannover.

Historic Final For Limerick

Its a big Final for both clubs as neither have ever made a European Cup Final before with our biggest achievements before being the All Ireland Cup Victories.

Europa League Final

Limerick V Hannover

View attachment 370431

In a fiery final it went all the way to penalties despite a decent display from Limerick. It was worrying when Limerick Legend and current Republic of Ireland Captain Denzeil Boadu missed his penalty but then Hannover missed theirs too before young Irish Sub Sean White slotted his home and we watched Hannover miss another.

Limerick Win The Europa League!

Thanks guys! I didnt expect it either, Were obviously a better team than i thought, especially as we didnt scrape the win we dominated and won the ties against Monaco and Shakhtar convincingly next year im hoping for the Knockout stages of the Champions league and beyond.

7 wins in a row domestically across 4 competitions with Leckey and Carmo out injured Boadu has stepped up to the plate and dominated the recent fixtures whilst Maher has also been getting a few goals.

Our on loan winger finally got his first goals for the club at the end of the month but to be fair i havent played him much and is loan deal is done next week.

Oh god im going to have so many games to catch up on, Were currently 8 points off top placed Dundalk but have 6 games in hand on them and most of the other teams around them.

Aargh i know we have played a lot less games than the other teams but im wondering whether i should have stumped up the 20k a week wages to nab Pepper but then i didnt expect him to join Sligo Rovers.​

Another loss to Belgium with Januzaj grabbing 2 more goals against us.

Toland Wins 1st Ireland Cap

Left Back Toland wasnt even part of the National pool when i took over but once i started scouring the leagues i found him after his recent big money move to Man Utd and hes now worth over £6Million.

Ireland V Georgia

View attachment 369859

Limerick midfielder Delaney opened the scoring within the opening seconds of the game before Brady made it 2, We then confirmed the victory with a 3rd goal from Ireland Captain Boadu.

So were currently in second with 3 games to go. Israel will be even on points with us if they win their game in hand but it is against Belgium whilst if we beat Israel in our next match, second place is all but ours.

First off we pick up two decent Celtic players on free transfers as their contracts expire.

Stuart Dallas - AMRL

View attachment 369425

Jordan Rossiter - CM

View attachment 369424

Im very happy with the Rossiter signing he looks like a first team player straight-away whereas Dallas is more backup for Samuelsen with Skidmore's loan deal ending.

Leckey Sold!

View attachment 369423

This deal was a bit of a hit miss for me and the fans! I didnt want him to leave but i couldnt really turn down that sort of money. Quite a bit of it is over monthly payments but the add ons our based on games for the National team that he will surely get, the other reason was i wanted to put Maher back into the side.


Brady Out For A Month

Just over 4 years ago was the last time we lost in the league against Shamrock Rovers.

June Fixtures

Leckey Who? We win all our games this month and have some big scorelines too, New signing Rossiter has settled in well with 2 goals in his first few games for the club whilst Samuelsen, Boadu and Maher have been in fine form and shown we wont be missing Leckey.


League Table

View attachment 369417

Its the usual suspects near the top with Dundalk and Sligo Rovers above us but were only 3 points from them with 5 and 6 games in hand on them.

Leckey is still in the top 3 for the Golden Boot but lets just admire Carmo and his average rating of over 8.3 in league games so far this season.​

Hes got a good workrate and teamwork which i always like to see in a young player and is nowhere near reaching his potential yet. He did pick up an injury before the season started so is yet to make his debut for West Brom​

August 2023

So first off a little bit of late transfer business as Val Feeney asks to leave the club and moves on loan to St Johnstone, Hes the only player whos lasted my entire reign as Limerick boss so i really didnt want to sell him out of nowhere whilst we brought in a quality replacement.

Feeny Loaned Out

A very tough draw with Porto and Man Utd whilst we should all beat Pizen, We need to go one better this year and get back to the knockout stages of the Champions League after the Europa League win last season i have no need to go back there.

A late goal from Captain Boadu seals the friendly victory against Peru in a game which we dominated and really should have won with a more convincing scoreline.


Euro 2024 Qualifier

Ireland V Israel

View attachment 368605

An impressive display with Sligo Rovers striker Pepper getting the opening goal before main man Grealish gets the second goal. Finally Maher gets the third after coming back into the Limerick side in recent months he deserved his recall to the first team.
An impressive display considering Israel were considered our main rivals for second place in this group when they were drawn out.

So 4 wins from 6 with both of our losses coming from Belgium who top the group and if we win our next match we will be through to the Euro's.
