Can anyone elaborate on this? *looks around for random UCD fan*Quote:
When you have part-time players the club has to pay a lot of tax while the club has all the tax credits when they are full time. It's not as expensive as people think.
Off course not...he hadnt managed a team in years...and he comes from the Irish league to manage us and brings back a very unfit and old Dessie Gorman and fat Paul Byrne!he compltly lost the plot! My point is..Connor won promotion in his fiirst season with Sligo, took them to 6th the next season and then took Bohs from the bottom of the table to an eventual 3rd place finish...he has a proven track record with these clubs but their fans are saying he didnt do this with them and he didnt do that with them and he said this, said that andc its the same here!!how is it???Quote:

The thing is, Faz played his best stuff under Paul Cook in 2007 as a striker. He was frequently played in an ineffective midfield role by Connor. Much like how Doolin played him too, in fact.Quote:

Just wouldnt count on Kudozovic yet..

Could any Drogs fans enlighten me on what kind of squad is at drogs..is there anyone left..even youths
Probably youths but I wouldn't think it would be active at the minute and as for senior players, there is none contracted AFAIK
Nope all have severed ties...including all backroom staff...all thats left is club officials and Directors etc that kind of staff and of course the Under 20 team and youths! Itll be a Shels job!!sign a team in a week!John Gill as manager...taking half our released players with him!:p
Around 20k in 3 instalments afaikQuote:

Celtic are to bring there 1st team over in july to Derry so maybe they might actually play the 1st team against you's!!!!Quote:

They will in there **** play a first team against us if they are playing them against DCFC. If there is a friendly then it will be the reserves I 'd say.Quote:

Mark Brown
Naylor,O'Dea,Loovens,Wilson
Mizuno,McGinn,Donati,McCourt
Maloney,Killeen
Im sure one or two full team players will be there too!
Remember that Celtic bar down town, Lennon was over nearly every weekedn after games, Larsson was over quite a bit too same with Burley and a few others!
I think its Sean that wants it ;)Quote:

Now back to Transfer Rumour talk...looks like we are signing Alan Cawley(yes Sligo lads, looks like we taking him off ye!!), Chris Turner, Robbie Duggan and Liam Burns
http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/1166/Quote:
Dundalk boss Sean Connor is close to completing the signings of Liam Burns, Chris Turner and Dave Rogers. However, an attempt to bring Garreth O'Connor to the club appears to be dead in the water, while a return to Oriel Park for Steve Williams has also been ruled out. Alan Cawley and Robert Duggan, though, could be on the verge of becoming Lilywhites.
Burns, Turner and Rogers have trained with the squad over the past week and are all close to striking deals. Burns and Turner have both worked under Connor before at Sligo Rovers and Bohemians, but it will be a new experience for Rogers, who has impressed sufficiently in training to earn a contract offer.
On the other hand, talks with Steve Williams, who started his League of Ireland career at Dundalk in 1997, have come to an end with no agreement reached. It was thought that the Welsh goalkeeper would be at least offered a coaching role, however, he now won't be involved with the club this year. Instead, Connor is eyeing up Shamrock Rovers rookie Robert Duggan as cover for Chris Bennion.
While talks with Williams took place at length, Garreth O'Connor seems to have decided against making a move to the border outfit by failing to enter advanced discussions with Connor. That is, however, likely to pave the way for the arrival of Alan Cawley, who has also been courted by Bohs and his hometown club Sligo in recent weeks. Dundalk are believed to be now leading the chase to sign the Bray midfielder as they are in a position to offer the 27-year-old the best financial package and could tie the deal up sooner than Cawley's other suitors.
In more positive news for the club, it has also been rumoured that Dundalk will mark their return to the Premier Division with a televised clash against 2008 double winners and Connor's former club, Bohemians. A fixture list has yet to be released by the FAI, however, it is believed that it has already been drawn up and has paired last year's league champions together in a mouth-watering opening day encounter.
Dave Rogers? Excellent, he's one of the worst full backs in the league.
Everyone has their own opinion...he must be doing something if hes doing well in training etc!Had hios moments...i personally dont think hes suitable to us...but everyone deserves a chance...oh Connor is in advanced negotiations with Kudozovic!!FACT!!
Yeah. Everyone does deserve a chance. He was muck at Shels (by a mile the weak link in the side Fenlon built there) and muck at Pats.
He was decent enough at Pats when he played centre back I thought. Absolutely awful full back though.Quote:

Finally exams are over (all 7 of them) so I can give my opinion. :D
I think some Dundalk fans are expecting too much of Connor. I am quite worried at some of the players he is trying to bring in such as Rogers, Williams and Cawley who I really don't want to see playing for Dundalk, then bringing in too many players who play the same position like Barbara, Barnett, O'Brien, Moran, Mansaram and Mulvenna, then being linked with Kuduzovic.
Also as some Bohs and Sligo fans have stated is the style of football and the fitness levels because Connor himself said he is about injury prevention thus not pushing players that hard in training which will show against teams who do push their players hard in training.
But being fair I will give him 1/4 of the season before I am going to judge him fully.
And this about getting an 'Big' club from England to play a friendly is just embarrassing.
Dundalk offering the best financial package. Doesn't say much for what we can offer then as Dundalk are working off 12k a week.......Quote:
