Any news out of the LIFT meeting?? Couldn't make it but a wee bit worrying from what i heard??

[Lim till i die]

Jof is your man on here for trust stuff.

It can't be that grim would be all over town by now if it was. Don't get me wrong its grim. Just not THAT grim.

Nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to LOI Football. Money is there at the moment but like every club it’s tight and will rely on financial support so that would be about the most negative thing. That isn’t something I would have thought would have come as a shock. There are outstanding debts that need to be cleare. Again nothing I would have thought of out of the ordinary when you consider the running costs and how much comes in.

If anything I’d say there was a few positives. New players agreed terms but have to be finalised before announcements, Bruff is receiving Sports Capital Grants for pitches and upgrades, a few new trust members to add in. All in all a good informative night and hopefully a bit of good news to come with signings before Christmas.

Who’s our new kit supplier?

Who’s our new kit supplier?

It was beings decided during the week. With last years gear being sold off over the weekend I’d imagine an announcement coming during the week. Going by Sligos jersey just released I wouldn’t mind Joma.

[Shearer]

Joma was my guess.

Contract renewal / offer by text really isn't the way to do business, a fact not gone unnoticed by potential targets to date .. It's a train wreck approach.

Rubbish. Players were all met face to face the Thursday before the Shamrock Rovers game and told they were either being let go or were offered a contract. They were asked to get back to the club with their decision and when they didn’t get back it was then the club rang/text them.

There has been discussions between the club and players. Some have been straight out about moving on. Some have tried for better deals. That’s football.

That's not exactly what happened either players were met and were told they were being let go or were going to be offered contracts no actual offers were made that day. The offers were made over the phone.

[Jofspring]

Would that bother you though if you were already met face to face to say you would get a deal and then got a text/call/e-mail with your offer? If anything it would just make things a bit quicker rather than meeting every player individually again after you had already met them and informed them you wanted them to stay on.

[Jofspring]

could do with a couple of signings this week though.
