    A big concern for me is the availability of players in England and will they be keen on coming to Ireland at this time of the year, surely anyone half decent would prefer to chance their arm at trials and preseason over there and only see LOI as a plan B if they are not offered a contract.

    Hope I'm wrong but it's something that's been in the back of my mind with regards to reinforcements

    Definitely a possibility but there also isn't a hope anyone of any quality will be available in Ireland in July.

    A footballers life can be very unstable and I think the lure of a regular paycheck may be greater than going on endless trials with no guarantees. I think McDonald's reputation will help immensely. We'll know soon enough.

    Agreed, and hopefully McDonald has the reputation and contacts to get some decent lads in

    You'd presume that he must have a half dozen lads in his back pocket or he wouldn't have taken the job.

    As in there is no point leaving it until next season to bring in quality as we might be in the first division, we need players now to be sure of staying up.

    You'll get no argument from me on that point. Has to happen as soon as the transfer window opens

    I'd get sick to death of him. A game they quite clearly deserved to win and he still won't give his team credit. I know he is just playing up to the media and all but he has done it to death now its boring move on.

    We were going nowhere in the lower reaches of D1 when he was appointed. Think we'll manage to tolerate him a wee bit longer.

    Not in any way a comment on him as a manager he's much better than the clown we left in charge at the start of this season but stop the act like it's over done a long time now.

    I know a lot of Harps fans that are really p!ssed off by his comments on the Limerick game.

    Personally, I think as long as he keeps on getting results and keeps improving the club on the field, he can say what he likes. He's very, very different in the media to what he is in the dressing room and even chatting to him away from reporters. Incredibly passionate man.
