LIMERICK FC HAVE confirmed Stuart Taylor will be leaving the club after 16 months in charge of the club.
The club has confirmed an amicable parting of company and thanked the Scot for ‘his professionalism, energy and personal commitment to the club during his time here’. Chairman Pat O’Sullivan commented, “ Having spoken to Stuart repeatedly in recent days, this decision is the best for both parties. We wish Stuart all the very best in his future career and are confident that someone with his skills and experience will be quickly snapped up.”
Taylor, for his part, says he is proud of the progress the club has made, under his stewardship, since he came on-board in March 2013. He feels, however, the time is right for him to step away from the club. He added:
I would like to thank club officials for the continued support they have given me throughout my time here as manager. Their determination along with the commitment of loyal supporters and local clubs have played a significant role in the progress made by Limerick FC.
“I want to also acknowledge the huge effort given by my players and backroom staff since my arrival at the club and I wish all connected with the club the best for the future.”
Limerick FC confirmed that Tommy Barrett will join the remaining management team ahead of Friday night’s trip to Athlone Town FC. The club are currently eighth in the league but their involvement in the FAI Cup was ended by Bohemians in June.
Writing was on the wall Stuart. Its a poor premier division this year and the club should be taking advantage of this to run the big guns close.
Johnny Glynn to be named new boss by next week
I bet Limerick fan Gerard Fitzgerald isn’t crying over his breakfast on hearing this news!
You got that right Gerry.the guy was getting away with murder,we have been awful this year,last year on a wet cold tuesday we had 1800 to watch UCD ,against Bohs last Friday 250 showed up.the buzz is gone and Taylor could not turn it around.limerick can easily pull in decent crowds but we must play attacking football, score goals and win games,this was not happening.Appointing a rookie manager was ridiculous,and one that had little or no knowledge of the current LOI was dumb,not to mention the fact that he only got the job a few weeks before kick off,the whole thing was set to fail and it did,Pat fenlon would be a lot of limk fans choice for manager
