Is this meant as a tongue in cheek slant? All players should turn down an offer to play with Rovers as it seems to hugely inflate their offers elswhere, well according to Rovers fans in the know!Quote:

Nicky Low linked to Larne
How much money have Waterford got? (I know these guys wouldn't be huge pay, but it's just a lot of new and - for the LoI - decent signings all at once)Quote:

Last summer, he got Paul Keegan in to help ensure we won promotion and that definitely paid off. This year, we're in a great position in third so I suppose he's speculating a little to accumulate and keep us ahead of Derry and Pat's. If we qualify for Europe, then it'll be well worth it. I know Rovers and Bradley prove that spending doesn't guarantee success, but if a few shrewd signings keep us in line for the Europa League, then it'll be priceless.
Another way of answering is that Waterford still have no money, but Lee Power has a lot. Our aim is to build the club up off the field so that it doesn't completely collapse whenever he leaves.

Been hearing that for a while. £1k a week, flying him in for matches.Quote:

I'd wonder how much we've offered him.
£1.1k and he doesn’t have to fly in for matches if he doesn’t want to.
Officially or Unofficially? :silly:Quote:

Nice, should allow Rovers to pay off Bradley as well.Quote:

Hopefully Henry Cameron's recent international cap for NZ will see the offers come rolling for him as well.
With international caps behind him now, and an international goal to his name, is €300k selling themselves short? If the rumoured interest in him does stretch to four or five clubs, and he has 18 months left on his contact, is it too much to suggest that they should be demanding a minimum of €500k?
