Only if the owners get their way and get to build on the Carlisle. Wait and see what "solutions" are put forward to save the club during the week.
Not a chance.
According to reports, Denis O’Connor informed the PFAI yesterday that the club was merely open to offers for all squad members. Players are not free to join other clubs without a fee.
Gonna be just fantastic for players and their families now when their contracts are breached after the transfer window closes. Just let them go somewhere with whatever passes for stability in the league ffs.
If their contracts are breached outside of the transfer window do they become free agents and still able to transfer ?
No. Once the window is closed they can't sign for other clubs. At least not in Ireland.
Full meeting this evening apparently(board/management/players) oh to be a fly on the wall at that one.
good read this -

Denis O'Connor on East Coast FM this morning- keeps saying he'd happily walk away as he doesn't need the hassle (but funny enough he's still here). Says he'll have news on new investment in the next 24 hours. Says the players weren't released. He sounds very reasonable if you hadn't seen how he's behaved since arriving at the club, Jack O'Neill brought him in seemingly but he didn't seem sure about who elected him chairman. Mulvey closed the chequebook but he says this was flagged back in April so why wasn't something done then? https://soundcloud.com/ecfmmorningshow/denis-oconnor
All you zombies tweet tweet tweet.
Can imagine there will be a lot of disgruntled players if Bray pay the wages until the window closes and then pull the plug.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Another interview on East Coast FM - https://twitter.com/eastcoastfm/stat...386913792?s=09
That appears to be the same interview that Segull already linked to. Is there another interview?
Yeah, missed that; sorry.
Really? Seems pointless then to rule them free agents after so many weeks wages are not payed. There sould be allowances made for players that are left in limbo like that to have the right to seek and sign for a club outside the transfer window considering the extenuating circumstances. Yes they could sign for an IL team I suppose but clubs would know they were pretty desperate and offer them buttons. Would have hard to be hard swallow considering the top contracts they were given by Bray to drop back to PT wages that are more like expenses.
The PFAI should develop an emergency fund that players in this situation can apply to for help too and not have to rely totally on dole. There is the angle that players should consider that if something is too good to be true then it probably is - 2 year 52 week contracts that are highly paid at a club that doesnt have good support etc should be handled with care. I know any club can get in to difficulty but if the Champions (after European group stage football) and the Champions Elect (with average gates of 4000+) are not dishing out 52 week contracts to everyone alarm bells should have gone off when signing for Bray.
Then you have the characters involved in running Bray withe their history and the coveting the Carlilse Ground to build on and everyone in LoI questioning when this is all going to implode - well id be inclined to opt for a 500 a week contract from a Cork City than 1500 a week at Bray suspecting that things will go bad before seasons out. Players on the level of McCabe, as dislikable as he is, must really feel duped as he is bound to have had options after leaving Rovers.

There's other ways league of Ireland players have traditionally made money if not being paid properly by their club.
From what i'm hearing Mulvey has stopped backing the club because of O'Connor - there relationship broke down a long time ago.
And that if someone else was in charge Mulvey would happily come back on board.
But as i said, that's just what i am hearing.
What as groundsmen, barmen, clubroom cleaners, double contracts et al.
You'd be very silly from a monetary point of view: a €500x40 week contract is €20,000; if someone at Bray was on €1,500 a week, and wages stop next week, they'd still have been paid €37,500 (25 weeks) and still have the opportunity to find another club and so earn more money.
Do they pay tax up there?

Professional gamblers...
more like professional conmen OConnor and his cronies..why did he not stick to his hurling?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
