first we have no manager then we are about to get that old has been rico and his buddy scully
then we lose rennie (b***ix)
and now shels are buying all around them. ladsand alssies it will be another struggle next year (see below from eleven-a-side.com)
Although the close-season is just THREE DAYS old, Shelbourne manager Pat Fenlon hopes to complete a double transfer swoop today (Wednesday).
Shels are markedly short of cover up front following the decision to release both Alex Nesovic and Paul Beavers in recent weeks, and the imminent departure of Mark Roberts to Scottish First Division side Falkirk.
Fenlon is keeping his cards close to his chest about the identity of the duo, although it is anticipated that Bray Wanderers striker Jason Byrne is one of those set to join the Tolka Park Reds.
Byrne, who scored 12 goals for Bray despite an injury-hit season, has been targeted by both Bohemians and Shels, with the latter the most likely destination for the 24-year-old.
Speculation is growing regarding the second mystery signing, with another Bray Wanderers man, versatile utility man Colm Tresson, possibly remaining in the same corner as Byrne with a switch to the Drumcondra side, but it is reported that Philip Keogh will not he leaving the Carlisle Grounds for Tolka.
Drogheda United striker Declan O’Brien has been linked with Shels in the past, but he will be in transit towards Cobh today, where he will aim to help the Drogs gain a first leg advantage in the end-of-season play-offs.
There remains a possibility that Fenlon will look abroad, to try to capitalize on the financial instability faced by several English Nationwide League clubs.
Brian Barry-Murphy, the former Cork City man who has been out of favour at Preston North End this season and spent time on loan with Hartepool United, could be one of those to fit the Shels bill.
