Brown really made his name after taking City into the top flight for the first time in the club's history.
Having left his last job at Preston, he has struggled to find a new club and recently rejected the chance to manage Hartlepool as he could not bring in his own backroom staff.
An ambitious club, Limerick are in the process of having a new ground built at their spiritual home, the Markets Field.
They want a high-profile figure in their dugout and have already spoken to Taylor, who took City into the Championship with back-to-back promotions, about relocating to Ireland.
The former England caretaker boss, who was responsible for handing David Beckham the captain's armband for the first time, spoke to representatives from the Munster club last week.
With applications now closed, an announcement is expected next week, with Les Ferdinand another name who is reportedly interested.
But Taylor, who coached outgoing Limerick manager Pat Scully, is believed to be the clear favourite after leaving his role as Bahrain boss.

“I wonder if the Limerick owners will still be convinced that Brown is their man once he has been invited to their Christmas Kareoke party?”

“The best ever Hull manager was called Brown,
He not even once took us down,
But the goons came to shout,
'Get the orange man out'
And Dowie made everyone frown.”

“A paddy from Limerick Town
Bumped into a fellow called Brown
He took out his pen
With a "contract" and then
Phil scribbled his signature down
In a fog of a sweet cigar smoke
On the terrace outside "The Royal Oak"
Phil remembered to say
How much is the pay
But the paddy guffawed - "Twas a joke!"”

“The 'Tactless Assasin' cannot get a post in English Football! If the Irish have anything about them, they would stay well clear he's rubbish.”
