I can confirm that negotiations are taking place with the above trio, with a view to taking over from the current Limerick management. Tony Considine would be seen as the manager and its expected that a physical trainer will be brought on board, possibly Tim Crowe.

The dream team combination are expected to trash out a number of issues prior to any handshakes.

Watch this space

This is surely a wum, please say it is. What the fcuk does Martin Kiely know about hurling? I know he wants to wrap his hands around the world but this is surely a step too far, even for him. The dream team for me would be Ciaran, Houlihan, Clarke and Kirby.

The committee tasked with appointing managers is as follows:

John O`Donnell    (Kilmallock   )    - Chairman
James Dooley    (Garryspillane   )   
Andrew Mackey    (Doon   )   
Oliver Mann    (Patrickswell   )   
Kevin O`Mahoney    (Adare   )   

The association between Tony Considine and Garryspillane is well known and John O`Donnell who is a former member of the County Board exc utive is a native of Garryspillane. James Dooley is the chairman of the club and acted as a select   or with Considine when Garryspillane won the 2005 county title. Tony Considine failed to agree terms with Limerick county board in 2006 and Richie Bennis was then reinstated.

TJ Ryan is a logical choice as select   or. People may query the involvement of Martin Kiely, but it`s obvious from his articles that the strife in Limerick hurling pains him. He was a top class handballer and knows what it takes to achieve success at the highest level. He is a shrewd judge of hurling talent, and has also an association with Garryspillane through his close relationship with the Ryan family. Tim Crowe has had a past association with Limerick hurling and served with Tony Considine in Clare in 2007.

Typical Limerick pick popular guys and we`ll all be happy. The "dream" team of Carey , Houlihan, Clark and Kirby wouldbe a real joke. This is intercounty we are talking about not club hurling. What success have any of the 3 achieved as a manager?
Considine and co. would definitely be the better of the two options. If Limerick appoint a manager from within the county they are F****d.

this cannot be allowed to go ahead. we as supporters have to take action and launch a protest at the county board meeting. it is our money that is being wasted watching false dawn after false dawn. we are entitled to our say and the unanimous opinion here seems to be that messrs considine kiely and ryan are not wanted and have nothing to offer

what did considine ever achieve? winning a county with garryspillane was tainted by messing around with the players on the panel. bruree winning it the year after showed that considine was no miracle worker

martin kiely is only always looking at ways to boost his profile and ego. his articles on the paper have lacked consistency and he has slated the players. i had dealings with him a number of years ago and id be saying no thanks to him as a select  or.

tj ryan is best served to protect his future as a select  or rather than getting involved in this setup. he has been too loyal to limerick hurling to allow his name be dragged through the mud next spring and summer because the boys he is with arent up to the job

Whatever the rights and wrongs of it Considine with TJ Ryan is surely a believable option but Martin Kiely??? What the hell?? The ultimate hurler on the ditch. How could any player have any time for him after his constant sniping in the leader?
