Mc Guineass signing is going to split the support, some will forgive and forget others wont.

Decent defender and would be decent signing for Sligo.

If he has a good season and helps us win the league, we'll give him the banner.

Will you get a fee for that? Presuming he was still under contract

There's a difference between being on target and hitting the target

Well we do two-year deals, but they'll not be payed anything during the off-season. Chambers was on a one year deal and leaves without a fee

So your players sign 2 yr contracts and go 3 months without getting paid under said contracts.Am i reading that right.Would they not be free to leave under those deals if a club approached during the period that they were unemployed as such.I mean would rovers be able to demand a fee for a player they were not paying.Very foolish for them to sign a 2 yr deal under those terms i would think.

**Longfordian** · 25/01/2011, 11:06 PM

Perfectly binding and acceptable once it's set out in advance. Your contract is only broken if pay dates are missed. Pay dates can be anything that's agreed in the contract. Part time clubs do it all the time or did in previous years anyway.

Anybody know the striker situation with pats this year, is it just north, McMillan and kavanagh although I've heard he's more a winger than striker. This was our biggest problem last year so we need a good 15-20 goal a season man up top playing off north.

It makes perfect sense if the deal suits both player and club.

Player A agrees a two year 40 week a season deal at �600 pw. Player B agrees a two year 52 week deal at �461. It's effectively the same difference!

Alternatively, say a club does offer a player a 2 year 40 week deal at say �600, but is prepared to agree a 1 year deal at the same money if the player wants this. The player now has a decision to make - does he opt for the relative security of the two year deal (regardless of injury or loss of form) or does he take his chance that someone will want him in a years for more money.

Yeah, it will split 99:1. The cast majority are ok with it if Cook and Boco are.

Move on will ya.

I think Pete has said that he will using Kavanagh as a striker but yes so far they are our only 3 so we probably need another one, AFAIK there is another 3 signings to be announced soon
