Not sure where else to put this, but I see Paul Cook has taken over from John Sheridan at Chesterfield. Presumably he decided he didn't want to be closer to his family anymore?

I hope Boco didn't head over there to join up with Cook.Quote:

Boco's been at Acrrington almost two months now, he's due a move.
Quigley commenting on Sligo's slowness in offering a new deal here. Dallas also said to be interested in the popcorn-haired striker: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...325733523.html
With the Chesterfield press conference scheduled for 1pm, Cookie will hardly make it to the Showgrounds for 7.45. Wonder in hindsight if he regrets not staying put in February ?
its the only league in the world that by winning it you can almost be assured the team will almost completely different the next year...or you'll be gone bust within a few years!!Quote:

I thought Sligo would have tied down the key players at least and worry about building a squad around that.
I'd be surprised if we weren't sniffing around Lee Lynch in some way.
Slightly disturbing to think you'd be sniffing around him in any other way than trying to sign him :eek:Quote:

If we lose him, Quigley, Jay and Rogers it would mean largely rebuilding the spine of the team, but if they're gone soon I'd have every confidence in our committee, Baraclough and scouts having rebuilt in plenty of time for next season. We might not be that attractive a proposition for Dublin lads who get bored down the country and would rather be closer to home, but for young talented players trying to make a step up, there's a lovely pitch, big crowds, at least a couple of CL games and a top-notch manager whose presence means you'll be attracting attention from across the pond.Quote:

Joey didn't come back to Limerick for pittance but I did hear he has spoken to Tommy.Quote:

Tommy is given a budget and it's up to him to work within that.
As for Behan :D , ye can keep him.

From what i've heard most of Bray's players want to re-sign for next season, a few will be leaving though. Mulroy has been offered a scolarship to Florida so think he is taking up the offer. Waters has been linked to Shamrock Rovers but IMO he would be mental to move to them, if he wants games then Bray is the place for him for at least another season.
Is Gavin Kavanagh at Cork any good this season?
Nah, brutal .... Dan Murray on the other hand ...Quote:

Not to mention Dan Murray and Colin Healy at the start of this season. (God help us)
Not sure on the smiley face, 16 goals in 36 starts was far better than I expected from him and he served a purpose this year, won us a crucial game in Longford.Quote:

As for ye can keep him - Ya we can if we want. Or we can let him go. Choice is a beautiful thing.
In summary - It's clear to anyone who cares to have eyes to see that Cork have a bigger budget than Limerick. Tommy Dunne chooses to spend it on rubbish ----- Tommy Dunne once cribbed in the paper about Limerick ----- Cork fans crib about Limerick.
Because it's like a cult innit. :ball:
Looks like Simon Madden is leaving us.

Guaranteed wages should be a given in any walk of life, no matter who is guaranteeing them.
Dan Murray had a poor year and is probably finished but Healy proved this year what a class act he is.Quote:

I'll take your word on the outbidding bit.
Does the fact you only put capital letters after the Vinny & Derek bit mean we didn't outbid you for Murray and Healy?
Oh well if he's that vital you should defniitely keep him. "CLASS ACT"Quote:

Nor do I care.
Interesting that you know Tommy has spent his money on rubbish, have you seen many City games this or last season?
I have never cribbed about Limerick and am delighted you got promotion, looking forward to a few derbies next season.
looking forward to the games against limerick.. limerick at home first game would be great now
I'd be surprised if he wasn't being lined up, especially as he's a local boy and ex-player. The fact Kenny didn't sign him when he was obviously already on Derry's radar when he left is baffling, but then again so is everything else he did.Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

I was refering to the "spine"of Murray, Healy and Parker.Quote:

I was under the mistaken impression that Healy was still crocked.Cheerfully withdrawn.
I never thought I'd see the day. :pQuote:

Another doing the rounds was Aidan Price to Limerick.
Now there's a likely one. :frown:Quote:

Probably Scully winding up Bohs fans.Mc Millan allegedly gone to Tallaght, wouldnt think that the other three would be in demandQuote:

Where did you hear that?
Heard from a Rovers player that there is strong talk of Croly and Hawkins being the management team myself.Quote:

I had heard the Croly/Hawkins rumour alright but didn't know it was confirmed. I assume nothing will be announced before the Cup Final. Seems slightly odd that the club would be unsettling the Pats coaching staff ahead of the match considering European football depends on them winning.
That was my reaction as well to be honest.
Could be being put about by someone to upset Pats for their own agenda.
Adopted son of Derry Stephen Kenny maybe. :)
Just came across this interview with danny ventre where he says he is in talks with sligo and a number of other clubs, wonder who they could be? http://www.facebook.com/notes/footba...48563455169146
