Turner's future

[rovers100%]

Rovers 1,
This leads me on to our next Fundraiser.

We are charging 5 euro into the AGM and 100 euro to get out!

You will have to wait for the AGM but a lot will depend on tomorrow night.


Rovers 100% - no problem.

I was never very happy about Turner signing, the man is a headcase and I doubt he had the wit to come up with a scheme to defraud us of wages and signing on fee until Sham's were ready to sign him. However as he seems to have been paid, trained and under contract we should do quite nicely out of the farce. A third party has no right of veto i.e. the FAI over the right of Sligo Rovers to make enforceable contracts. If the FAI ruled had ruled that Turncoat could not play for Rovers this year for whatever reason according to their rules it would not free the club from their obligations to him, the club would be legally obliged to pay him until he was signed by someone else and compensate him for annoyance, costs expended etc. Turner would not have to suffer for the imcompetence or negligence practiced by Sligo Rovers that is the whole point of contract law, so he is clear breach of his contract, the FAI registration thing is the merest figleaf I am suprised the New Model Army would be so reckless to engage in such a project and if our club has an inkling of balls they will nail the smug so and so's.

Anyone hear anything about what happening/happened with Turner and the whole Shams move. He was in Abbottstown with Shams on Wednesday last according to a shams fan. So what happened? Why the silence? Did anything happen?

[Shedzer]

I know one thing the dubs will win the situation over Turner there is no way the FAI will back againist the so called big clubs. Shams will get thier way and I for one will hate them for it.

Only a young rovers fan I am not blessed with your experiences But I know that Shamrock Rovers are not to be liked by Rovers fans.

Please ! Shams. There's only one Rovers.

Rovers Chairman Kelly said the club would let us know when the whole thing had played out and that the club couldn't comment on the matter until it was all settled. He did add, he wouldn't let Shams or the FAI walk over Rovers. (There was tears in my eyes at this stage.... Kelly for Ireland!)

Should be resolved in the next day or two. Heard things aren't looking too good for Turner.

This forum was alot better while you were banned.

Edit: Have you heard what might happen to Turner or is that all you've heard for now ?

[sligorover]

This thread has become completley demeaning.

Its very simple. Sligs dropped the ball on his registration using incorrect forms. He was never a Sligs player, and whats worse is you all knew there was an issue. Rovers approached an out of contract player and offered him a contract, which he accepted. All this talk of 'tapping up' and banning Turner might make you feel better, but your club was fully aware he was in a limbo and didn't do anything to secure the registration properly.

If you guys can't lodge a standard contract, thats not Rovers or Turners problem.

That just isn't true. If he had no contract here it wouldn't be going to mediation. Shamrock Rovers and Chris f*cking Turner tried to pull a fast one assuming that the FAI, as always, would do their best to allow the Dublin club away with breaking rules. Hopefully both parties will be adequatly punished for this.

[red bellied]

Turner for ban?

[red bellied]

Wait and see....

[Dixie Dean]

If he was a free agent then why didnt the FAI simply register him when he "signed" for shams?

[redbuli]

Turner will play for Rovers, and push hard for silveware. Sligs will learn a valuable lesson about getting players to sign the standard contracts and registering them appropriately.

If your fans turn this into a victimhood issue rather than ask why their club allowed this to happen, thats your problem.

Any issue here is between your club and him over money you paid him, but that was your own foolishness in my opinion.

banned on this forum for "winding up the sligs" and the whats the first thing you do when you come back

surely thats another ban? moderators?

laughable

Time for sligoman to do what he does best and moderate

Cant understand how one can be as stupid as to do that on a public forum, say they were winding people up, thats just getting yourself a straight ban. The worst thing about this pre-season is not only did stolen kits and broken windows take away from funds, but also the fact Turner has pretty much pulled a fast one on us and ****ing off elsewhere with alot of money he got here, for both the fee he was signed on and the wages he was on while he was here.

They did.

"However, the player's contractual situation is disputed by a second club and the FAI will not be in a position to register the player until this issue has been resolved."

So they didn't register him...

[redbuli]

So you agree that this is between you and Turner over paying him in absence of a contract?

So why try and block his move after it happened?

if Shams were stupid enough to try and register a player who has a contract with another club, what do u expect?.. maybe u should go ask your club why the move hasnt gone through
