I'll settle for Sligo fans at thsi stage
The manager is more important than the budget Cook has proved he can operate on a small budget and will get the best out of the current players I heard of clubs paying 18k a week last year to get relegated. The current sytem is stupid you try and keep your best players by offering reasonable contracts and job security then the FAI decide to knock a lump of the budget and leave very little room for new players withut have to re-negoiate with the current squad there should be some kind of independent arbritation to rectify rows between clubs and FAI.Quote:

at a guess why do you think the fai knocked a lump of your budget.Quote:

BTW a player I know has been offered a deal by Sligo of €1k a week. If he's getting that you can be sure the likes of Peers etc are on a good deal more. That would mean some players at Sligo on very little if they're aiming for a budget of 10k per week

Sligo have allegedly offered Alan Keane €1,000 a week and have been in contact with him while he was in Australia on Holidays. There has to be serious questions asked of the MC in Sligo or are the fans just going to say no problems as long as Cokkie is back.
galway have allegedly offered beckham 200k per week.Quote:

Bury your heads in the sand lads but there are definitely serious questions to be asked by the fans before ye end up like all the clubs it couldnt have happened to before.
He wouldn't be due to re-negogiate his contract by any chance ? Find it hard to believe we would pay a player of his quality that much , he is probably spinning to get a better deal from ye I would call his bluff. BTW Boco is highest paid player at rovers and his package is not massive by any means in comparison to some of the numbers quoted on here and what some players were on last season , to put things into context Faz was offered a record breaking 1400 a week to stay last year but Drogs were offering 2000 and an apartment and BTW still owe 10k of the transfer fee which we have kindly deferred.Quote:

it seems that galway and harps supporters have a problem with sligos success on and off the pitch. Jealousy, the green eyed monster. Good supporters who are willing to help out when finance is needed is what makes sligo rovers the great club that it is and the top club in the region.
We can only pay what the fai allow, so stop WUMMING.
There's no talking to these people...
He a good one for you , our new Portuguese striker......Quote:

bloody hell and you wonder why the fai have to control your finances
finn harps have more chance of going bankrupt than sligo rovers.Quote:

Sam, i think you should be more worried about your miserable first division club with a very bleak future than a progressive club which its fans can be proud off and can compete on a sporting level.
Enjoy another year of Paul Hegarty rubbish while sligo rovers play premier division, europa cup, setanta cup with players that are proud to wear our jersey. Not like them mercenaries that i saw masquerading as footballers in blue and white in finn park and the showgrounds last year. an embarrassment.
Couldn't be that proud if there's only 14 of them and you need to raise 60k to get any more in...Quote:

Dodge, no offence but youve brought up pride. How can you comment on our players pride issues for our club, unless you know them and talk regularly with them that is.
sligored brought up pride
Laughable if you think the likes of Peers and Boco have anything other than professional pride when playing.
blah blah blah blahhh
Everyone stop bitching.
Ye signed (or are signing the other one) 2 of the players you seen in the blue and white last season and also tried signing another one :pQuote:

I look forward to June when ye going crying wolf again, maybe this time won't be a sick plot to wrangle hard earned money from yer fans and fans might not be as keen to help out next time.
at least they were not caught betting on the team playing against us... Not like some others.Quote:
