Strong rumours of Ken Oman signing for the Champions, Mark Quigley linked with us as well.
Gary Rogers, Gavin Peers, Jeff Henderson, Seamus Conneely re-signed. Delighted with the first three - three players who are among the best in their positions in the league - and Conneely's a useful squad player who might just have a bit more to him.
Mark Rossiter has signed for next season with Dundalk.
Shams looking to sign Luke Byrne to add to their collection of ex Bohs left backs. Poor career option for him if he signs.
Fenlon has left Hibs. Could be tempted with a move back home?
Unfinished business at Derry.....!Quote:

Pat Sullivan back to Cork apparently.
Conor Kenna linked to Rovers, this rumour goes around every year, seems to be at its strongest this year.
It would show a lack of ambition on Conors part to go from the Champions to a mid table side who's biggest focus is the league cup.
Still Rovers feeder club?Quote:

Rovers need a bit of a clear out in my opinion so can see a lot of their players heading out the door.
Agreed. If Rovers don't get rid of a load of players, who will they sign in a year or two? Basic forward planning there.Quote:

Could be all bull****, love this time of year.
Terrific for Pats if they're going full time, but hard to see how they can afford it unless Kelleher's found another couple of million down the back of a sofa.
I'd imagine they're mostly on full time wages as it is. A player can live easily enough on 400-500 a week. A squad of 18 players on 500 a week is only 9,000, which even by League of Ireland standards isn't absolutely out of this world. Large European income as well as the title winning money should see them do it comfortably enough for one season at least on a trial basis. As long as they don't go offering silly contracts of 2 and 3 years then it's a good move in my view for the League champions to have a real go at Europe.Quote:

The way we have it now is perfect. Can't see it changing.Quote:

400-500 might be grand for people to live on, and a lot do, but there's a reason why a lot of players in the league prefer the part-time set up. Once lads get into their mid 20s and start having families, it doesn't sound like such a great lifestyle anymore.Quote:

Yeah Josh has had some excellent games for us considering his age. Peterborough have watched him several times and there's been other clubs linked too. He's understandably raw but he's got a lot going for him, pace, strength, aerial ability, good shot on him. Lacks a bit of composure at the moment but you'd imagine that'll come with experience.
we need to discover a few more like josh
awful pity matt britton is no longer with us as he was him that discovered Josh for us along with Sully and a few others!Quote:

Rumours hotting up now. Heard Conor Meade back to Cobh. Could be possible
We are close enough to full time as it is, we train during the day and only 1 or 2 of our players work outside of football. I'd say our budget is at 9 or 10,000 a week, apparently we are very strict when it comes to our wage structure and budget and this wont change for anyone.
No it isn't. Nor is it anything close.Quote:

Even adding in the USC and prsi contributions and deducting tax credits you are talking about €500 gross to net €400.

€800 indeed to net €400. Your boss must be giving you a tub of Vaseline instead of a wage slip.
Part time players would more than likely be on the higher tax band as they have other jobs as well.Quote:
