Is that you Ritchie ?Quote:

More reports have surfaced about Turner's clause. Still can't see it happenning though http://extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/2810
I don't see Turner going to Galway if its true, i've heard rumours that players there will be on as low as 100 to 150 euro's a week, he'd get a bigger wage here and I doubt, as I said in another thread, Galway could even afford him.Quote:

What I cant understand is the childish comments over GUFC having the Press Conference in the Flagship shop of our main sponsor and backer Pat McDonagh .
Sligo have held launches and other meeitngs in the premises of their main sponsor Tohers. I know its not a chipper but clubs should support their sponsors. Its a way of of giving a bit of publicity , don't knock it.

Upstairs in Tohers Chemist lends itself excellently to such needs. Past Rovers press conference was held in the premises away from the main floor of the shop, away customers who probably do not need to, nor care about Rovers. It's also worth noting for such events, Sligo Rovers provided a full PA to ensure what was being said by the those who were talking could be heard by those attending.
What happened in Supermacs yesterday was a joke, if I'm being honest and a poor reflection on Galway United & Supermacs. This isn't an attempt to have an easy dig at Galway United. I wish the best for the club but their attempt at a press conference was laughable.
The table where Connor, Leeson & Michéal D were sitting was landed in the middle of mothers and sons eating their chicken wings and burgers. It was close to impossible to hear what any of the three men sitting at the table were saying, no amplification what so ever in a busy fast food join!!???? There was ample room further down the premises, where no one was sitting, where the event should have been held, away from those who were trying to eat their chips in peace. When the press conference started punters were looking around with bemused expressions on their faces. There was no order or to the procedure. When Leeson started talking all the camera men just moved in and stood in front of the table taking photos for the duration. No one could see or hear who was talking after that.
There was zero thought but into the whole thing.
I was presented with a slice of pizza at the end, so I left happy.....
The Press Conference which was so amateurish as stated by yourself managed to get Film & Interview Coverage on all 3 TV Main News yesterday,Was covered by all local & National Media and had over 100 GUFC Supporters at it .Quote:

I never doubted the coverage but it could have been done much, much better. It's also worth noting Galway will get plenty of national media coverage with Seanie on board. ;)Quote:

He has a clause in his contract and our budget might not be as small as first expected. He obviously wants to work under Connor and Connor obviously wants him. It should be interesting to see what happens.
Nicky Broujos spotted driving away from the Showgrounds. I guess he's back in the fold.
prob going a bit off topic but its obvious clause exists so would be good if some those involved in running the club who post here could keep us up to date with whats actually going on re. Turner?
Wood Turner do you think :confused:Quote:
