I was told yesterday up in Terryland that Shamrock Rovers are after Jeff ! anybody else hear this? Wish they would stay away till the end of season anyway and then see what happens as we dont need him to be distracted at such a vital time of the season.
Heard he's probably going back to the UK after the season.....only a rumour however....and there'll be plenty of them from here on in.
The Rovers rumour was in the irish indo so i wouldnt put too much stock in it.Isnt he contracted for 2 years though?Also i think 40% of his wages are depentant on us staying up.He said in that Indo article on Saturday that he wants to honour his contract here.

Are you sure? I'm almost certain I was told otherwise.Quote:

I sincerely hope Jeff stays. I think he has been outstanding considering what he had to start with and the complications foisted on him after he started. I can't see it happening but I hope he stays.

If he could just stay(and we stay up) then the majority of players will stay id say.That in turn will mean next season we'd maybe be mid table plus crowds will be up as word about the standard football will spread etc too.That will mean we might be able to add to the squad in July etc and keep building.So i FIRMLY believe if Jeff stays the future will look extremely good.
Rovers' players are all part time AFAIKQuote:

they are but rovers will be massive next season, new stadium, crowds, and a lot of potential. also jeff from dublin and if doesn't go back to england then more likely he end up there. more exposure too with roversQuote:

Was flicking through Tribune last night, and at end of Derry preview Kenna says he has not been approached by Shams and wants to stay at Utd. He said something like it depended on certain things, but he was happy here and wanted to see out other 2 years in contract
