Nope. Wouldn't have thought we'd need one either, thought Gill was more of a token thing.

Rumours down here that Hendo has 10 players on his shortlist (doesn't want all 10 has his main choices and second choices) and that 3 are very close to finalising deals, with Tadgh Purcell said to be signed when Hendo returns from his hooneymoon. How true this is I don't know, was just something that came up in a convo last night.

Probably waiting on the FAI to give them the go ahead to sign players now and to state that the embargo is lifted.

Purcell was on huge part time wages with Shamrock Rovers, I reckon if he took a 50% drop in pay to join Waterford you would still be breaking your wage structure to sign him
He would be a great signing for you in the graveyard, but I reckon there would be plenty of competition for his signature in particular from Pats, Drogheda and Shels.

He would be a decent target man for us esp if he can get back to the form he showed when Rovers won the first divsion and then the following year of consolidating in the Premier!

The 48 year-old outspoken Dubliner has a mixed recent track record. Since winning the league and Cup double with the Bohs in 2001 he struggled with Carlisle, Dublin City and Shamrock Rovers.
The Rod won't like that!

I don't think the Cork fans will be over the moon either.
If Cork do somehow get a license, I really, really hope they appoint Roddy as manager just for the sheer hilarity of it.

That's great news if true. Purcell would be a great signing. Do you know of any of the other names on Hendos' list Frosty ?

Exactly.. It's not like anyone was offended... It was funny and silly on Rogers part... but if you ever talk to him you'll know that's just the way he is...

A bit of a mad update thanks to Malta Today:
Greens puzzled by Irish reports by William Attard
Floriana FC have issued a statement regarding the Roddy Collins - Cork City situation. The club have made repeated unanswered calls to Cork City offices and officials and not received a response.
"In relation to reports in an Irish newspaper on Friday Floriana FC have requested an answer from Cork City FC as to whether they have made an approach to sign Roddy Collins. Mr. Collins is contracted to Floriana FC until the end of the 2009-10 season and is currently considering an extension to his contract that will run until the end of the 2011-12 season. We have made repeated calls to Cork City offices and officials and not had any response. It is highly unethical that reports such as this emerge when there has been no approach or contact with the club in question. We aim to have a resolution to this situation on Monday."
Collins who after a difficult start has overseen a revival in Green fortunes thanks to the belated signing of National Team skipper Brian Said, has not responded to requests for clarification though was satisfied with assurances given from the Floriana management despite not having achieved stated targets in his contract. Floriana take on Msida today at 2pm at Paola.

Kenny will be talking to Gerard Doherty this week, who he thinks will stay.
McGlynn seems to be signing for Bohs "Bohs want to sign McGlynn and it looks likely that he will be leaving" - Kenny, in the Derry News.
Deery and Stewart have been approached by Shamrock Rovers.
Ger O'Brien is in talks with Fingal, Motherwell and Falkirk.

That Bohs have been unable to prove to the FAI that the financial issues that saw the embargo put in place are no longer a factor?
...... or it could just be that the ever efficent FAI have just not got round to signing off on budgets yet ? keep sucking those lemons though.;)

15/12/2009, 11:11 AM
eeehh, thats what I said. You need to prove to the FAI that you haven't continued cheating before they will lift the embargo. As of yet you have not been able to do so, so they are going to have to go through your accounts.
But you keep telling yourself its a mere formality.
Actually, the FAI compliance officer has to go through ALL clubs accounts (to make sure no club cheats by presenting last years accounts (again) - ring any bells ? ). But you keep dreaming that only Bohs accounts are checked if it makes losing the League sooooo much easier for you :D:D:D

Its in one of our local papers this morning that Cretaro is undergoing a medical with Bohs tomorrow and will then sign for them - according to the player himself.

It was in one of the Dublin papers as well last night that he is up having a medical and will sign if he passes the medical

Two issues being mangled into one?
1) All clubs are assessed for compliance against the SCP at the end of the season
2) Bohs have had a transfer ban in place for much of the season, as either their management accounts at a point in time indicated that they would breach the SCP or the FAI didn't have confidence in the accuracy of those management accounts and therefore suspected the SCP would be breached.
I look forward to seeing the carpark increase in value again this year in the audited accounts.......

The question related to Bohs specifically, mb - stop getting so wound up when the answer relates to Bohs specifically.
According to todays Irish SUN the FAI expect this week to ratify Bohs accounts for November thus clearing the way for the transfer ban to be lifted. Bohs have agreed renewed deals with Heary, Shelly Deegan,Keegan and Cronin. contracts have also been agreed with Murphy (small club in Wicklow) O'Connor (bigger club in Wicklow) and Cretaro (the real Rovers).
Incidedentally PS, the issue was about compliance procedures and I explained why the FAI have to check each clubs accounts, whether people like it or not the "activities" indulged in by SRFC historically are a factor in the current process.
not to drag the issue (further) off thread but according to the "Irish Star" SRFC have dropped their complaint about Bohs accounts. I look forward to some on here doing likewise.
