Transfer Rumours/Suggestions

hi well red. i do a lot of fundraising for the bit 'o red , especially the 100 euro lotto card and i work in tandem with frank beirne who runs the weekly lotto. last november i started working on the e100 lotto card along with getting people to sign up on line for a full year (which costs a punter e92 quick pick 4 numbers). in one sense the online sign up for 46 weeks plus 6 weeks free for e92 is easier for people to do as it is on line and can be done by anybody who has access to the net. the e100 lotto card is better value because you are allowed to enter 2 sets of 4 numbers for e100. my question to you "well red" is would you be willing to help out (ie to either get people to sign up online or take some of the e100 cards from me . my number is 087 2388215. like you, i believe if we can retain the services of paul cook and the current squod we have a very exciting future ahead. i spoke to paul cook today and he and gerry do not want to leave sligo but we must retain the current squod
wit some additions. this will be very tough in the present circumstances as money is extremely scarce but i believe this squod can win trophies and be very successful. however it can be done but it needs more fundraising and the club needs more help. anybody interested contact me at the above number. only genuine parties interested need apply

Red Arrow I am fairly new to this forum but I have been supporting SR financially for a long time in various ways and I agree with you that the 46 week on line lotto is very easy to do and that is one of the methods that I use. Living in the Leinster area I do and will continue to push my contacts to make sure that they are involved in the ongoing support of the BOR and all I am saying is that I hope that every genuine supporter is doing the same.

thanks for reply. keep getting the word out everything helps.
regards

The only signing on in Phibsboro will be the queue of bohs players at the dole office when the bank manager calls time on their over draft.

If Cook is here next season, then Peers will be here too.

You never know if things work out for us we could sign a couple of their players. I'd be more worried if i was a bohs fan.:p

If Bohs want peers they can get their bolstering cheque book out! He's under contract with the most stable club in the league!

Wouldn't be too surprised if he does end up playing for Fenlon as he had a good look at him in the u23s , too early yet to know who fenlon will be managing next year probably pats or shams if bohs go tits up.

I heard that they would have been part-time next year only for the McCourt deal

Word is, Cook has handed the Sligo board a list of players he wants for next season and the budget he requires, if he gets it then he will be staying there again next season.

Must be class, sign him up so:rolleyes:. You'd expect a striker to score more(it's only since last night that he over took Boco btw) than any player on a team with no strikers.

No Finn Harps player from this season is good enough for Rovers, they're not even good enough for Harps.

Only 5 strikers in the league have scored more goals than parkhouse and he is playing for a team that look like being relegated.

6 actually, doesn't mean he's good.

I don't know tbh, he signed Jennings, I'd never have done that:p

Funnily enough I knew you would come back with that:rolleyes:. You said'one of the worst players I've seen this season'. Now considering the players you have seen this season are in the league it's basically the same thing,unless you want to count the few 1st division games you've seen and if you think he's worse than that then you're just taking the p**s.

5 actually. No it doesn't necessarily mean he is good but goals are one of the main indicators as to how well a striker is doing,that's what they are there for.

It means that anytime I've seen him play, he's been crap. Although in fairness, I'm struggling to name another striker in the PD who'd I'd without doubt be able to say is a worse player than Parkhouse.

Parkhouse has 7 goals. Count how many players are there:

Dave Mooney 15
Mark Quigley 14
Mark Farren 11
Glen Crowe 9
Padraig Amond 8
Ryan Guy 8
-----------------
He's not going to be with us next season anyway imo so pointless argument.

Parkhouse is type of front man we've lacked all season....Wouldn't at all say no to him coming.

Look at it this way,where we have struugled at times this season is the fact that we have no target man. We have used steve feeney on occasions. He isn't suitable for this position and missed one sitter against bray. Imo parkhouse would be a way better option.

Personally I'd call him a right winger,if you ever look at pats formation on t.v that's where he is. Anyway i suppose it is a bit of pointless arguement...

Would'nt be surprised to see Parkhouse at Rovers next season.
I dont rate the guy much,
but if anyone could get the best out of him i'd say Cook and Carr could.
I doubt he would demand huge wages and we do need a target man.

I've seen parkhouse twice against us. On both occassions he was very poor. Although before he came to Harps he was highly rated I think.

double post

A mad thought. I wonder if Joe Kendrick would be interested in moving west? We need a new left back due to Butler's injury, Joe's a quality player and he's surely considering his options with the situation in Drogheda at the moment.

What do ye think of Davin O Neill for Cobh? Wouldnt be a bad signing, hes on form lately, doubt he'd be on high wages either.

If Cobh get relegated I reckon we should go for him.

Think we need to sort out our current players contracts before we start signing other clubs players.

Is there any players signed up for next season ?.

I wonder if Cook's considering trying to sign Richie Ryan on a permanent deal, he's been impressive.

Good player, but to be honest, we are ok for nippy strikers at the moment (Boco, Raf), Parkhouse would be a better signing for us.

Butler is signed up for next year, however I'd say they are looking for ways to relase him from his contract.

What? If he can recover from his knee injury we will have imo the best left back in the league.

Is that a complete guess or have you heard something to suggest it? If it's a guess then I'd safely say you're wrong.

The club will stick by him.

If they do he is a luckly lad, not all clubs would

Wish he was playing Friday, he is quality and we miss him alot, but if it came to it i would understand if the club had to let him go

Not a guess, do you think we can afford to have a "first team" player on the books for at least a year without kicking a ball and pay his wages?????

Were you not around when Rovers released five players to try and keep the club afloat in June/July???

It's simple. Sligo Rovers cannot afford to pay wages to someone who cannot play for the club when they could be putting the money towards a fit player. We need a right back and by all accounts Chris is out for at least 12 months, plus what sort of player will he be when he returns? He could return with the same form he had prior to the injury however, he may not....this is another gamble the club is taking on holding onto him.

The club must now be thinking about a replacement.

Sorry Sligoman, this is the reality of the situation.

I would love to think the club could find the means to keep Chris during his rehabilitation but it doesn't make sense.

I think the club would be going down a slippery legal slope if they got rid of Chris for being injured. You'd probably have cases of unfair dismissal, etc.

and i suppose you'd be ok with being sacked for being off work with a long term illness/injury ??

the right thing to do is to give the lad a chance to recover. he's on a contract and has proved himself a worthy player. there's no cause to sack a lad from his livelihood because he's injured. He's prob on a basic wage with appearance add ons etc So i doubt that basic figure is unmanageable. And anyway if the club did want him gone they'll have to pay up his contract in full, so what odds is it to keep him and get him back fit and playing again.

Of course it's not ideal for Rovers but the lad didn't and get injured on purpose, but right is right and i fully expect rovers to stand by chris
