hey lads just wonderin whats the latest with the united players like who might be leaving or staying next year.
Wont know untill we know where we're playing next season. O'Shea and Rodgers are the only 2 on contracts for next season.
The whole future of the club and league is up in the air at the moment. The budget for next season will be slashed hugely whether we stay up or not.
T the whole future of the club is NOT up in the air at the moment,please dont scare monger like that.Even IF we go down we will still be around next season.Yes there will be adjustments etc but the club WILL be around next season,stop scaremongering.
From what I heard I have to agree with gufct the club is not in a great position, But now is not the time to go into this as we have 2 cup finals left. The club will be around next season but what ever our budget will be next season will be a huge % will be spent on clearing debts and ont on the team.Quote:

But for now only Harps game matters and 3 points
it is up in the air. as in we will more than likely go part time and could be playing in either the premier or first divisions. i doubt there is even a budget at this stage agreed (and secured) for next season. Therefore referring to the title thread how can we speculate on players futures when the future is up in the air. For example if we get relegated we be looking at a much different squad than if we stay up.Quote:

The transfer fee will paper over the cracks and pay off some of our debts.
after friday night, I can see a lot of players being around next season. Its great when a large percentage of the team are Galway based players. Its all down to the type of contracts that are offered to them, cash wise im talking of coarse. As in all jobs, money talks as all of them have to pay the bills just like the rest of us.
i have already heard from lads here that players are starting to look for alternate work outside of football.
Looking at your location i presume your talking about Derek Glynn in particular... i heard he was looking for a course to do next year as he knows Jeff won't keep him on!!.... shame really because he has some finish, can see him getting another club elsewhere, that is if he wanted to travel a distance!!Quote:

With all the talk of clubs in financial difficulty in Ireland, I believe that full-time soccer in not sustainable in Ireland...
I feel O'Shea, Russell, Lester and McCullough are the four players most likely to be snapped up by other clubs.
Cannot figure out what has happened to Derek Glynn and how he has slipped so far down the pecking order?
You have to laugh really, when the player clear out was proposed back in June, Lester and Foley were 2 who were told 'thanks but no thanks'. We are now in the driving dseat to avoid relegation, thanks in no small part to the central midfield partnership they have struck up.
good point woodquay boy!
The second time it has happend to Foley & he responded in similar fashion last season. Fair play to the lad & batman also.Quote:

Could be an interesting close season....
whats the story with united players all rejecting part time contracts? are all players (except rogers and o shea) out of contract?
yes essentially all free agents
