I hear the target was acheived, great news to all who helped out.

Well done everyone! ;)

But where is this going to go now?

[red arrow]

congrats to all who made this a huge success. i believe the amount that was raised was circa 60000. the money will be given to the club on a monthly basis over the remainder of the season . it is soley for players wages based and new signings. it should help to maybe bring in 2 more players if cookie can get the right ones before the window closes. he is not going to spend willy/ nilly. so if the right guy is not available there will be no signings. but it puts the club on a sounder footing. i smell success!!!

Fair play to all concerned , Hopefully Cookie can bring in the type of player he wants before the window closes.

Well done lads great achivement in a short space of time. Dead right not to spent for the sake of it. We also need a left back and we signed a centre back!?! Yere safe enough any way so hang on to the dough and buy the right guy.

Excellent venture. Just shows what can be done when all of us supporters come together for the common good. Strength in numbers and long may it last.

From Ocean FM

A proposal has been put forward by a former Sligo Rovers secretary in an effort to raise more finance for this ambitious club.

Speaking on North West today, Tony McGee says he believes that under the management of Paul Cooke, Sligo Rovers have a great chance of winning league titles.

However, at present, Sligo Rovers cannot sustain the level of expenditure needed to compete in the Premier League, at the highest level.

Former Secretary, Tony McGee outlines the thinking behind his proposal:

Anyone hear what his actual idea was?

[neutrino]

While i would to see new players coming i think we need quality instead of quanity.

I think Cooke himself shares that idea so we'll be grand. Have to say had my doubts at the beginning. But this guy has shown himself in a great light since he started and happy to have him here as manager. Wonder what Tony's idea was ?

I also think that along with more money to compete higher we eventually need a professional chief exec or something to drive us on.

[sligoman]

Maybe Tony's idea was the same as the one he suggested at the fans forum a few months back.
