Today in the Star Pat Devlin said he was ready to walk away from the team because the board or management have not started to sign back players from this years team. We have already lost our most influencial midfielder we ever had and after finishing with a strong squad why loose them all and go backwards instead of moving forward with most of this years squad...
from irish times:
Devlin might swap Bray for Dundalk
PAT Devlin’s long association with Bray Wanderers could be ended today with the club’s long-time manager and director of football said to be on the brink of resigning, possibly with a view to taking over at Oriel Park, reports Emmet Malone.
Devlin has left the Carlisle Grounds before, having stints at Shamrock Rovers and in Steve Staunton’s Ireland set-up since first becoming manager with Wanderers over 25 years ago. But infighting among the club’s board members and Wanderers’ failure to set out a budget for next year appear to have frustrated him.
Devlin refused to confirm that he is interested in Dundalk but he didn’t deny it either. “All I can say is that I don’t see myself staying at the club with the structure we have in place at the moment,” he said yesterday.
He's Mr Bray and with the current climate no better time for him to invest a few sheckles in the club. Mr Bray remember;)
Any truth in the news on players OUT :
Gary Dempsey to Waterford
Jake Kelly to Shamrock Rvrs or Derry
Conor Murphy not signing If Pat Devlin moves who will takeover ?
Gary Dempsey is confirmed as a signin from the Waterford website..Quote:

If he is only ****ed off why did he go running to the press? Airing the "dirty linen" in public like that is certainly not serving the club well.Quote:

Major rumours Devo will walk away, Longer has already left the club, 1 players signed back and pretty much all of our best players from last season wont be resigned as we cannot afford them. Very worrying times for Wanderers at the moment.....
Devo and Jack are the only 2 in the club doing anything to keep it alive at present.

And there i was thinking because Devo has decided to stay that he would sign most if the squad back,, and now you say only 1 player has signed back ,,, great..
AS I pointed out previously the board consists of 2 directors, only directors sit on the board. Only directors have executive powers and they report to the shareholders at the AGM. If there are others involved in running the club, i.e. having executive powers, then they must be acting as "shadow directors" or De-facto directors". From your comment it would appear that there are more than two people involved. One would wonder why these individuals want to keep their names quiet and not be registered in the companies office. Maybe that's why your source would not go into specifics. It certainly begs very many questions.Quote:

Yeah its all very messay at th momeent, hence why the would not go into specific details, which is understandable. Hopefully it can get sorted out. As far as i know Jack and Devo are pretty much the only ones left in the club and they are keeping the show on the road. Yeah there are a few others doing their bit but what i meant is that it is mainly them.Quote:
