When he leaves it will almost certainly be to a Championship side and I would estimate we should get in the region of €200,000 for him. If my maths are correct that is the equivlant of £156,000 sterling and surely that is a realistic figure, what do you think, is my idea on the fee too low or too high and remember it is what we are likely to get and not what we would like to get that I am considering. If we achieve €200,000 then together with other funds coming in for next season, surely this would put us in a reasonable position and may also help to retain the services of Cooke into a new term. Continuing on the financial side I repeat what I said a little while ago on this forum, that is SR supporters that live away from Sligo should make a weekly contribution through one of the many fund raising efforts and the weekly lottery which can be done on line is a great way to help and remember it is most likely that you do not get to pay through the turnstiles at home games very much as you do not live in Sligo and probably see more away games than home. We cannot just leave it to residents in the Sligo area to continue funding the Rovers, if everyone made a good contribution then we could be facing the prospect of an exciting season next year.

I don't live in Sligo anymore, yet I am a season ticket holder. It was bought in the knowledge that I wouldn't be to all the home games. I've been to roughly half the home games this season, yet I've always paid in to help the club a bit more. I also play the lotto online. I'm sure a lot of others here do the same.

Great Brianw82 and there are many like yourself but I will continue to urge fans wherever they are to contribute to Rovers. A lot of fans do not even live in the Ireland and may not get around to being part of the fund raising and these are the people and others that I would encourage to help out. Bottom line being if you follow Rovers whether you live in Sligo or not to be sure to make a regular contribution financially, it can be as low at a few Euro per week but what a difference it makes.

Heard it from a good source...my valuation would be higher;)

Well it wont be the afformentioned Reading, Birmingham or Southampton paying £ 450,000 for a LOI Full back, they struggle to pay that from English teams look at Readings bartering for Noel Hunt .........FGS lets get realistic lads.

good source????......MC member ?, player?, coach?

Where can you get 200k from? A player is only worth the highest bid. If there was only 1 club interested then we'll get nowhere near your 200k. It would appear from previous experience LOI clubs can demand a fee based only on their reputation, such as cork.

No other club has contacted Rovers concerning Seamie according to Cook.

Seamie was not on trial at Burnly. Cook organised it so he could train with the club or something like that.

In an exciting and eventful day, Steve Bleasdale's hard work to secure new striker Chris Amadi finally paid off as the 6'2" forward joined the Club from Burscough.

Oldham-born Chris was straight into first team training after signing and is looking forward to the opportunity to travel with the squad to this Saturday's FA Trophy match at Harrogate.

This news comes as Leigh are set to release striker Darren Mansaram, who has been with the Club since July on a month by month contract, which was due for renewal this week. Darren, who had already changed his contract from full to part time on account of the gruelling 160 mile return trip each day, was looking to move on and the club have been happy to allow him to do so.

Darren made eight starts for Genesis, scoring three goals and making one further appearance as a substitute during his time here, and we are now delighted to wish him every success for the future.

WELL, THERE'S OUR STRIKING PROBLEM SOLVED.........SIGN AMADI!

I'd rather keep seamus than let him go for 200k,best young irish right back there is he is worth alot more and if there is no interest all the better we get to reap the benefits from his performances.id rather keep our best players than sell them off if we can avoid it at all.however if a huge offer came in that the club couldnt turn down then so be it

hi well red. i do a lot of fundraising for the bit 'o red , especially the 100 euro lotto card and i work in tandem with frank beirne who runs the weekly lotto. last november i started working on the e100 lotto card along with getting people to sign up on line for a full year (which costs a punter e92 quick pick 4 numbers). in one sense the online sign up for 46 weeks plus 6 weeks free for e92 is easier for people to do as it is on line and can be done by anybody who has access to the net. the e100 lotto card is better value because you are allowed to enter 2 sets of 4 numbers for e100. my question to you "well red" is would you be willing to help out (ie to either get people to sign up online or take some of the e100 cards from me . my number is 087 2388215. like you, i believe if we can retain the services of paul cook and the current squod we have a very exciting future ahead. i spoke to paul cook today and he and gerry do not want to leave sligo but we must retain the current squod
wit some additions. this will be very tough in the present circumstances as money is extremely scarce but i believe this squod can win trophies and be very successful. however it can be done but it needs more fundraising and the club needs more help. anybody interested contact me at the above number. only genuine parties interested need apply

Red Arrow I am fairly new to this forum but I have been supporting SR financially for a long time in various ways and I agree with you that the 46 week on line lotto is very easy to do and that is one of the methods that I use. Living in the Leinster area I do and will continue to push my contacts to make sure that they are involved in the ongoing support of the BOR and all I am saying is that I hope that every genuine supporter is doing the same.

Taken from the main Transfer Rumours thread:

Bohs considering a number of centre-halves for next season, Gavin Peers being the most likely.

Anybody hear anything along these lines?

The only signing on in Phibsboro will be the queue of bohs players at the dole office when the bank manager calls time on their over draft.

If Cook is here next season, then Peers will be here too.

You never know if things work out for us we could sign a couple of their players. I'd be more worried if i was a bohs fan.:p

Wouldn't be too surprised if he does end up playing for Fenlon as he had a good look at him in the u23s , too early yet to know who fenlon will be managing next year probably pats or shams if bohs go tits up.

Sligo are looking for Parky off us as are a few other clubs.

Word is, Cook has handed the Sligo board a list of players he wants for next season and the budget he requires, if he gets it then he will be staying there again next season.Parkhouse:D, one of the worst players I've seen this season.

No Finn Harps player from this season is good enough for Rovers, they're not even good enough for Harps.

Never said that:rolleyes:. Just,to say he is one of the worst players in the league is stupid.

Only 5 strikers in the league have scored more goals than parkhouse and he is playing for a team that look like being relegated.

No Finn Harps player from this season is good enough for Rovers

Funnily enough I knew you would come back with that:rolleyes:. You said'one of the worst players I've seen this season'. Now considering the players you have seen this season are in the league it's basically the same thing,unless you want to count the few 1st division games you've seen and if you think he's worse than that then you're just taking the p**s.

6 actually, doesn't mean he's good.

5 actually. No it doesn't necessarily mean he is good but goals are one of the main indicators as to how well a striker is doing,that's what they are there for.

Now considering the players you have seen this season are in the league it's basically the same thingIt means that anytime I've seen him play, he's been crap. Although in fairness, I'm struggling to name another striker in the PD who'd I'd without doubt be able to say is a worse player than Parkhouse.
5 actually.Parkhouse has 7 goals. Count how many players are there:

Dave Mooney 15
Mark Quigley 14
Mark Farren 11
Glen Crowe 9
Padraig Amond 8
Ryan Guy 8

He's not going to be with us next season anyway imo so pointless argument.

Look at it this way,where we have struugled at times this season is the fact that we have no target man. We have used steve feeney on occasions. He isn't suitable for this position and missed one sitter against bray. Imo parkhouse would be a way better option.

Ryan Guy 8.
Personally I'd call him a right winger,if you ever look at pats formation on t.v that's where he is. Anyway i suppose it is a bit of pointless arguement...

srfc1928

02/11/2008, 12:08 AM

Would'nt be surprised to see Parkhouse at Rovers next season.
I dont rate the guy much,
but if anyone could get the best out of him i'd say Cook and Carr could.
I doubt he would demand huge wages and we do need a target man.

I've seen parkhouse twice against us. On both occassions he was very poor. Although before he came to Harps he was highly rated I think.

A mad thought. I wonder if Joe Kendrick would be interested in moving west? We need a new left back due to Butler's injury, Joe's a quality player and he's surely considering his options with the situation in Drogheda at the moment.

Good player, but to be honest, we are ok for nippy strikers at the moment (Boco, Raf), Parkhouse would be a better signing for us.

Not a guess, do you think we can afford to have a "first team" player on the books for at least a year without kicking a ball and pay his wages?????

Were you not around when Rovers released five players to try and keep the club afloat in June/July???

It's simple. Sligo Rovers cannot afford to pay wages to someone who cannot play for the club when they could be putting the money towards a fit player. We need a right back and by all accounts Chris is out for at least 12 months, plus what sort of player will he be when he returns? He could return with the same form he had prior to the injury however, he may not....this is another gamble the club is taking on holding onto him.

The club must now be thinking about a replacement.

Sorry Sligoman, this is the reality of the situation.

I would love to think the club could find the means to keep Chris during his rehabilitation but it doesn't make sense.

and i suppose you'd be ok with being sacked for being off work with a long term illness/injury ??

the right thing to do is to give the lad a chance to recover. he's on a contract and has proved himself a worthy player. there's no cause to sack a lad from his livelihood because he's injured. He's prob on a basic wage with appearance add ons etc So i doubt that basic figure is unmanageable. And anyway if the club did want him gone they'll have to pay up his contract in full, so what odds is it to keep him and get him back fit and playing again.

Of course it's not ideal for Rovers but the lad didn't and get injured on purpose, but right is right and i fully expect rovers to stand by chris
