Its looking like a grouping of 4 or 5 players from last years squad and the bulk of the squad being made up of the A and U20's sides from last year. Some good quality youngsters in the group but badly need a few experienced leaders in the squad as that was our let down last season

Yeah had a look and the younger teams did seem to do well last year while probably not reaching UCD levels, and not having a Ronan Finn.

Strong rumours that we have Chris Shields, Dane Massey, Dave Webster and Jake Kelly under contract for next season. If thats true thats a decent spine and with a years experience under their belts they can only be better next year. An experienced head beside each and we could compete next year

John Gill has today accepted the post of Assistant Manager of St Patricks Athletic.

Declan O'Brien (from figures released by Valletta) is on at least �1,500 a week plus car and apartment, which is normal for the club - their wage budget is more than 100k monthly. Not bad if you can get it, but I doubt it'll be the same for Anto, Floriana have a tiny budget.

Matthews must be putting together a crew to sail off into the sunset with all the captains he is collecting.

Russell for Sligo if Cretaro goes to Shams, as expected? Though I think Russell will demand a clause in his contract regarding the kinds of cups used for tea

Don't underestimate the scholarship scheme though. Four months ago, we'd never heard of Paul Corry, and now he's the obvious replacement for Finn (though I'd rather have the two of them obviously, as they worked so well together in the last couple of months).

Mulhall and Rusk have signed on for next season, in addition to all the scholarship players. Only question marks at the moment are over those on the PFAI list, and Mulhall signing despite being on that list is a nice boost.
