And I heard Kenny offered him a trip in my posts spaceship. We have a solid foundation and John Caulfield had a strict budget. He can spend as much of that as he likes on individual players, he'll find a way to make it stretch to a very competitive squad again. A serious wage came off the books today in Bolger.
Wages will balance out all the time with players coming and going, that's part and parcel of every club, I still think Sheppard did very well out of this in his two year deal as he would obviously have got an increased deal, if it is 1.5k per week, that's still a lot of money for one player.
Dlk may be disappointed with how this panned out and a pre contract agreement may also have been in place, but he changed his mind and he made his choice, and that's just that.
You're hardly eluding to Sadlier here?Quote:

Rovers offered him a paltry deal meaning Cork had to pay compensation of about €15k. Great deal for Rovers.
Sadlier scored the winning goal but hasn't gotten much attention. The cup heroes have really been Nults and Achille. Shepp as well for the assist and scoring his pen even though he was injured.
To get compensation you would have had to at least match what he was already being paid, and you'd have to officially offer it about 2 months before the season ended. You can't offer them a pay cut and still get that compensation.
I know. He wasn't on big money in Sligo. He's now on nearly double what he was getting up here.Quote:

Not unexpected, but still disappointing. Apparently he's away to university in Limerick. Great signing for Cork.Quote:

He doesn't need to be as good as Greg to be more useful to us. We have way more flexibility in there with McCormack, Morrissey, McNamee and Buckley, you could imagine most of those filling different roles depending on what is necessary, while Bolger could only play in one position.Quote:

Have you seen McNamee play?? He's much more attacking than McCormack, Morrissey, Buckley or Bolger. Totally different type of player. He's more like Sheppard. Does his best work either as a wide player or as a no10.Quote:

Or alongside Gearoid when McCormack is definitely suspended for accumulating yellow cards. I think this signing is a big one, and improves our starting XI, but also our squad depth. Buckley for example is our current number 19, but hes played at the base of our midfield on occasion.Quote:
