The players have refused to train twice this week over something to do with the contract offered to 3 of their new signings in July and then was changed after without their consent. Seems to be all very amateur by them.

Noooooooo, training consisted of 5 a side and they were all sent off (practice for matchday) ;)Quote:

the seanie angle at Dundalk is interesting especially given the rumors about him leaving for sunnier climes in scotland. Many of the players there appear to have a level of loyalty to Seanie and his position could have a big knock-on impact on who stays or go's at Oriel.
It is a confusing situation.
From what I have heard, when the players signed new contracts following the agreed pay cut, some other terms were different to contacts originally signed by them when they joined the club.
These terms seem to relate to the provisions regarding contract termination.
The players or their representatives now claim were not aware they were agreeing to different terms.
We'll be on a higher budget. :)Quote:

The Irish Sun has an article today to say that Dundalk will release their FULL SQUAD after their match tomorrow.
Once exception (apparently) is Chris Turner.
This will be the second time (twice in two years?) that they have done this. Who would want to be a Dundalk player? Mind you, at least they pay their players not like in Cork or Derry.
Shamrock Rovers for the league next year I'd say as Bohs are cutting their budget too. I wouldn't be surprised if Jason Byrne signed for his home town club either.
Dundalk have to release their players, sure they must be costing them a fortune in fines for all the red cards
I dont think even our own board knows whats going on lately down Oriel Park way!
Byrne has a year left on his contract so if he does move,somebody will have to buy himQuote:

Any idea why this should be so? Does it mean he might fetch a few bob of a transfer fee?Quote:

What a mess. Connor brings nothing to a club but red cards and chaos.
The only good thing is that the club are at least living in the real world in terms of wages etc.. .We cant afford to pay players during the close season and that is the bottom line.
I would love to see us mount a strong challenge next year,byt would hate if it was done in the form of gambling with money we dont have.
No. I'm sure it will somehow be Bohs fault that Dundalk are now in trouble and that the Dundalk board are the only ones in the league* acting responsibly :rolleyes:Quote:
