2018 Transfers

[sbgawa]

Conan is on huis way to shels.
Big money there now, the plan apparantly is to get promoted next year relegate bohs and be the main team in dalyer. With pats going full time and a 10 team premier it's a plan that might work.
Have to admire their ambition.

An opinion piece very poorly disguised as analysis. Not worth the screen space

It gets worse. In his RTE column, former Hoop Paul Corry names the great managers he has played under

I’ve played under lots of great managers like Martin Russell, Dave Jones and others, but I’d have loved to have played under Stephen.

Daniel Cleary signs deal to 2021

Rumours are unconfirmed that he may have trsnsfer break clauses every 6 months

Conan is on huis way to shels.
Big money there now.

How much of a budget have they actually got? Are we talking Dundalk level big money, Larne level big money, Waterford big money, or dare i say it Bray big money?

They've made some decent signings recently, but their mostly Bohs cast-offs in fairness, and now a 33 year old winger. Conan's still quality of course, but it's unlikely he'll have many seasons left in the tank...

How exactly are Shels 'planning' to relegate Bohs (except in your sad little imagination of course) ?

[nigel-harps1954]

There'll be some egg on faces when Conan Byrne lands at Cabinteely next year with Pat Devlin.

They are $hel$ so our demise is assured.

To be honest I wouldn't be overly shocked to see it happening, think any part time club in or around Dublin bar UCD (Presuming they keep their students only model) is a possible place for him to end up

[pineapple stu]

He started at UCD, so you never know. But would think it's unlikely alright.

[joey B]

If Ollie gets a sniff he'll be kicking lumps outa lads in Ballybofey next year,Ollies persuasive like!!

[Charlie Darwin]

Thought I read UCD were continuing the students-only thing?

That’s a great plan Ted.

[pineapple stu]

Probably. But I think "students only" is at least partly marketing speak for "can't afford more". We might take a former player back if it gave the squad a bit of experience. But as I say, I think it's unlikely, especially if Shels are going to pay actual wages.

So you're saying the Shels BOM is signing him up before they appoint a new manager who may not want/require a 33 year old winger in their team?

[nigel-harps1954]

Gary O'Neill will go into his fifth season at UCD in 2019. Must be coming near the end of his time!

[sbgawa]

Yep. How many first division managers wouldn't want Conan Byrne?

[marinobohs]

Yep, any minute now the spoofer is going to “enlighten” us about how Shiels plan to relegate us. Any minute..........😁

[David BOHie]

That’s a great plan Ted.

Shels are gonna do it too with all the players we've released because they weren't good enough for us. Fitzgerald, Doyle, kavanagh, Moore, Wilson etc

[ger121]

Sure there's lads in some intercounty GAA teams who've been in college for a decade!

Jaysis, Kenny Shiels has plans to relegate you now, as well as Shels. ! It's a conspiracy I tells ya !!

Former Rovers director put €500,000 into a debt free Shelbourne reportedly

[Philosophizer]

So that would keep a part-time team going for what, maybe 2 seasons?

[sbgawa]

Former rovers director (double agent) plots to be the main tenant in dalyer.....the plot thickens....

[marinobohs]

Former shams Director jumps ship to shelbourne because he wants to be associated with a Dublin city club ��

.... the rest is delusions of a fool.

[sbgawa]

I guess your explanation of Tallaght not being in Dublin makes more sense

[sbgawa]

Its simple really ,, you finished 6th, I expect Derry and Sligo to be better , ucd ditto , your in a relegation play off .

[marinobohs]

i appreciate shams know more than Bohs about relegation, but you wishing it isn't going to make it happen Anymore than it ever has.
and tell us how are Shels "planning it" ? Don't be shy now ��

[marinobohs]

I guess your explanation of Tallaght not being in Dublin makes more sense

fixed that for you �� Leave the made up bullsh1t to you.

[sbgawa]

R u suggesting they aren't planning for promotion and don't want to be the primary tenant

[SkStu]

I guess your explanation of Tallaght not being in Dublin makes more sense

He specifically said Dublin city in his original post and he is right. Tallaght is not within Dublin city borders as MB stated. Neither is UCD but they’d have a stronger claim due to proximity. You’re club is a Dublin county club. And very far south.

As for your prediction of Shels relegating us and passing it off as “their plan”, it’s laughable from a whole host of perspectives. Its actually funny if you’re not making it up. Your prediction is built on lazy assumptions which require all of the following to happen

1) Bohs don’t improve their squad/results at all
2) Derry get 7 points better
3) Sligo get 7 points better
4) UCD come up already stronger than Bohs
5) Harps/Limerick don’t improve
6) Shels make the 1st Division playoff

And there’s about a half dozen more variables I could have thrown in there but didn’t. Enough interweb wasted already.

[total hoofball]

Yep. How many first division managers wouldn't want Conan Byrne?
Maybe a new manager who plans to have Shels have in the Premier Division in 2020 and won't require a 34/35 year old winger in the Premier Division that season

Conan is a great player and would do a very good job on the First Division next season but he would be short-term signing for Shels or Bohs or Drogheda or whoever, new manager may very well be thinking 2 or 3 years ahead signing any players. He had a very poor disinterested season with Shels in 2012, could have been Alan Mathews-style inflicted, which may go against him making a return

Yeah Derry and Sligo being better next season and ucd being better then limerick is very far fetched

[Jack B]

Bohs for all the hype also finished a place lower this season than last, they'll have to arrest this downward trajectory to prevent themselves from being First Division bound...

[sbgawa]

Hallalujeh it's not just me that has noticed. Beating q couple of first division clubs on a cup run and serving nice craft beer doesn't a successful season make, the pr is excellent though for a club going backwards

[SkStu]

Point is that it your wet dream scenario would require all of those 6 things happening. It is built on a foundation of us not improving at all which we should and despite the fact that we have consistently performed at a level that exceeds where we should expect to finish. I’d be reasonably hopeful we can turn a few of those draws into wins and a few of those defeats into draws. With a little more continuity in our squad for next season already assured, there’s no reason why we can’t aim to have a better first and second series next season than we did this season.

As I said, it’s really lazy stuff you’re throwing out man.

[sbgawa]

My suggestions of possibilities is "lazy" but your suggestions of improvements while others don't is something else...... Its ten team.league pats are going full time Sligo have bucko at the helm Derry can't be much worse......I hope you stay up but I wouldn't be confident

Derry dropped four places over last season lads. Where does that leave them for 2018? We finished with a point more in 2018 than we did in 2017. What does it all mean?

[sbgawa]

It means the off season is to long......what the **** are we going to talk about for the next 4 months :)

I haven’t suggested anything at all related to other teams. I have not speculated at all on how others will or will not improve. I’ve just pointed out that I have faith in ourselves to improve over this season for a multitude of reasons, some of which I’ve touched on others I’ve stayed silent on.

If I’m right then the likelihood of the other 5 factors also coming true for you gets increasingly more difficult thereby reducing the likelihood of your scenario happening.

It’s not really that controversial.

[Shearer]

Luke Byrne leaves Shamrock Rovers.

[Ashbohs]

I would think that the budget at Bohs will increase a little bit more while still falling into the , live within your means type of scenario.
Most of our revenue streams are up I think and should rise slightly again next year.
Still very much a part time model but I think we will be slightly more competitive.
Slow start has killed us last 2 seasons .

[Ezeikial]

Luke Byrne leaves Shamrock Rovers.

Does that leave Rovers short of top left backs now?

Will Gilchirst get a new contract now?

Can Ethan Boyle convert to left back?

If Gilchrist gets a new contract I'll wear a Bohs Marley top to every game next season ;)

edit: I won't

No one in Division 1 is going to have a 2 or 3 year plan

[Dalymountrower]

Luke Byrne leaves Shamrock Rovers.
Heard from a Hoop that he is one of a big clear out of players in Tallaght.The soft loan/Roadstone investor has also called in repayment of that money earlier than planned so presumably cutting the wage bill.Shels could pick up s few of those players?
