Harry not coming back, cherrie, greene on the move, I'm sure there is loads more players trying to get away from Bray after the laughter this season. I can't blame anyone wishing to leave. How many supporters will return next year.

Harry not coming back, cherrie, greene on the move, I'm sure there is loads more players trying to get away from Bray after the laughter this season. I can't blame anyone wishing to leave. How many supporters will return next year.
Cherrie, Sullivan, Kenna, McCabe, Pender, Steacy are the only ones listed on the PFAI tansfer list.
I believe Greene was on a 2-year contract.
Can't see anyone signing until a manager is announced and funds are secured.
Solas (Sponsor) have also left so not sure if there a new sponsor yet. Lots of uncertainty!
Greene Lynch Noonan and Buckley on 2 year contract.
Things are very quiet, which is worrying. No word of a new manager - not even a rumour.
I wonder is Liam OBrien interested or qualified?
Also no talk of players signing or re-signing, when all other Premier clubs seem to be making steady progress and at least some announcements.
If we do exist next year, the new manager will be at a major disadvantage if they are cobbling together a squad with a couple of weeks to go. The new season is starting earlier this time too.
When is licencing due to be announced. It would not be fair for things to drag on - if Galway were to be given our place, they deserve time to prepare.
The fact that there is no conclusion to the betting allegations is also hugely frustrating for everybody - it really should be sorted out at this stage.
Missing out on a few decent players as well. Would have liked to see Webby back but he's signed for Waterford. Can't sign any players till a Manager is appointed. Needs to happen soon.
You can count us out on the 'making steady progress' front anyway. We are losing good players and not replacing them.Quote:

Peter cherrie was told that Bray didn't want him for next season, maybe now he might get a call since they lost out with Stephen Mc Guinness.
" Bisto" flood gone to Sheriff yc.
Tim Clancy also on the way out of Bray, new Drogheda manager.
Its a joke what is going on down there, no announcements, no info on season tickets.... nothing...Quote:

Tony Cousins linked to the managers job.

He did well with Longford in the beginning.
Totally agree that it should have been the manager to decide if Cherrie stayed. Can only assume it was for financial reasons. There are not too many experienced keepers available in the League that are available for next season.Quote:

Seen on Twitter that manager is rumoured to be announced tomorrow and looks like it will be Tony Cousins... I will believe it when I see it.... At this point I would take anyone!!Quote:

Last Christmas we were signing Dylan Connolly on a 2 year deal and we had 3/4 or more of the squad signed up.
This year we have no manager, despite Harrys decision being announced 3 months ago, and we have 5 players signed up.
No coach despite having a very good one last year - have we tried to keep him?
No new sponsor announced - no new kit - no season tickets on sale.
This year the league is starting earlier - training? pre-season friendlies?
We seem to be a shambles - the elephant in the room for the league. As a result Galway also don't know what division they will be in.
Players are leaving every week - this is a bad sign considering none of them appear to be owed money from last year and they were on good money.
If we had qualified for Europe would Ryan Brennan, Karl Moore, Anto Flood, Tim Clancy and Jason Marks moved so quickly if they were being paid? 2 of them have gone to non-league despite being fully paid! There is only one way this is heading. I cant help feeling it would have been far better for McGettigans to have gotten control 2 years ago!
Dave Mackey finally named as Bray manager, no disrespect to Dave but I was hoping for a stronger more established manager. Can't see players flocking to join Bray, hopefully cherrie and others might join back.
Gary McCabe linked with Cabo!
Can't see that happening. Too good for the first division. Hopefully he can be persuaded to stay with Bray.Quote:

didnt Pat Devlin sign Gary McCabe originally in Garys first spell with Bray?Quote:

I don't see clubs queuing up to sign him though, he's a free agent.Quote:

How do you know there's no clubs queing up? Could be mulling over a few offers!
Greene talking to sham rovers, maybe even signed up already.
Would be delighted if that's true but if he was signed up already I'm sure the club would have announced it.
He's on a 2 year with Bray so Rovers would have to pay a transfer fee to get him.Quote:

This looks a lot more promising http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/gaa/...y-men-11797320
Not sure why the Mirror have it listed under GAA.
So far. today..Hugh Douglas, John Sullivan, Paul O'Conor from Pats, Sean Heany from Shams, Dylan Hayes from Boez, Conor Kenna, Jake Kelly from Longford, Ger Pender, Gary McCabe, Darragh Gibbons from Shams all signed.
Kenna and McCabe must have gotten some guarantee about money and league status.
A lot more positive now!!! I would imagine a number of them had other options but must have recieved guarantees that finances were in place..
Hopefully we can keep Cherrie as well, best goalkeeper we have had in a long time!
Cherrie gone to Cork, can't blame him really. Any goalkeepers out there looking for match every Friday please contact the Carlisle grounds.
I presume Cork offered him a better deal than Bray. He'd be guaranteed a game at Bray but may be no. 2 in Cork. Not sure where that leaves Bray now for a keeper as I don't think there are many experienced keepers still without a club.
I assume Greene is staying now that Rovers have signed that Coustrain guy as he is a winger

In another tweet after Bray announced the signing of five more players, he says Sexton dismissed the 'trialist' thing as 'red tape'.
