In earlier years for the first two seasons it was 0.14 goals per game ratio. It is a disappointin return for him all right. but his last two seasons were productive in terms of goals!
That would be an average wage at Longford with expenses including or possibly on top of that. Considering the amount of matches, 3-4 times training per week, travelling, hourly it's isn't anything outrageous. I don't how some players in this league particularly in the first division do it all just for expenses!
In a nutshell this is What Blues manager Roddy Collins said today.
1 A company has agreed to financially back Waterford United for next three years. Company and amount to be announced shortly.
2. All money owed to player's to be paid this weekend. Total is 350 Euro.
3. Two companies to subsidize two players.
4. Two companies to give part-time jobs to two players.
5. It's hoped to have a shop opened this weekend to sell new kit.
6. Willo McDonagh. Roddy Collins 'Jnr signed. Talks with Kevin Burns and Brian Nolan at advanced stage.
7. Three of four trial player's expected to be signed. A top class striker also coming when he gets paid by his last club.
8. Roddy admitted he is ''working with a small pool of people to put things in order''
9. This is the worrying point. He said it's up to the board to deal with historical debt ie to FAI. It's not his concern. What he is doing is for the players who will sign.
Take the bones out of those points.
Rovers interested in gearoid morrissey. Cork talking to him as we speak.
Signing for Waterford.Quote:

Judging from last season I think ye're the ones who need two keepers :)Quote:

He wasn't offered a contract for 2014, as Kenny got Gannon in to replace him. I think he may have dropped out of the league for a year around then, no other club came in for him, he did ok at Bray last year though, and he's definitely a good player for Galway, should do a good job for you.
He was excellent for Dundalk in 2013, the year we finished second to St. Pats.Quote:

He'll give you 110%. He may lack pace but will add strength and solidity to your team.
Thanks for that. Sounds like a good signing for us.
He was excellent for us last season when he signed. Really dissapointed we couldn't keep hold of him.Quote:

The Hoops — who finished third this year — have not brought in any new players, while other clubs have been busy announcing signings. But it is understood meetings are planned this week with main sponsor Pepper Group and director Ray Wilson, who has previously invested his own money into the club, to discuss plans for 2016.
I would have expected these discussions to have taken place a couple of months ago. A lot of the better players have been signed up.
That's from the Sporting Gospel that is the Sun,
O'Riordan is a gypo but he's usually spot on. Nutsy writes for them too...
You appear to be imply that the report is not reliableQuote:

Nutsy looking for bigger budget................ Almost certainly
Shams were a long way off the standard required to win the league last season. He probably needs at least 5 or 6 quality new additions to make a realistic title challenge in 2016. Even then, I don't think that Fenlon's ultra cautious hoofball will work against the better sides
I'm sure we'd let them pay for Shaw in instalments amounting to €20k if they ask nicely.
I always thought Sullivan was a good player, played out of position at right back during his time at Dundalk - but did a decent job and would always give 100%. Even though I could understand why Kenny didn't resign him, at the same time he was unlucky he wasn't kept on with Dundalk even as a squad player. I was surprised no Premier division club never signed him when he left Dundalk and he had to drop a division, and then even more surprised he was out of the league altogether when he joined Crumlin. Was glad to see him sign for a Prem club in Bray and hopefully it works out for him at Galway. One thing you will get from him is determination and hard work.Quote:

Clarke is the big signing but having a physical presence up front will be nice. Not sure what we're paying them with since we have no budget, but happy if they're going to play for the club for free.
Youd be surprised how little of a physical presence Shaw actually is, I don't think I've ever seen him bully a centre half.
disappointed that Shawsy is gone but he deserves a move! last season wasnt his best but he did work his socks off even when he went on that long drought without a goal!
He doesn't really bully centre halves but from what I have seen he can be an awful ****** to mark and is a good competitor in the air.Quote:
