Clive Delaney

**The Fox** · 25/02/2008, 5:09 PM

The transfer thread suggests he is going to Derry - didnt feature yesterday??!! He will be a big loss if he goes - Chris deans and himself had a good partnership.!!

Ger Rowe done deal?????????????

**Grey Boy** · 25/02/2008, 5:38 PM

Thats not good at all. Himself and Cawley were the stand out players for us last season. Sincerely hope he stays. Does anyone know how substantial this rumour is?
Nice to see John Flood back though. Always wondered where he went to. Hope he's cleaned up his act a bit. He had a touch of the Martin Taylors about him first time round.

Delaney played for Derry before and came back as he did not want to go full time. Unless Stephen Kenny has a big influnence on him as he was manager there when Clive played for them. We can't afford to lose him.

He may not have featured on sunday but at least he was at the game.
I reckon if we were to lose him we can resign ourselves to dropping to the first division. I didnt see anything on sunday to suggest that we are not going to struggle.

I like that quote and I've always liked Clive. He had a tough summer after being released by West Ham. He was travelling on trial to another club in England every forthnight, it seemed.

Does Clive get forward much during play? Only set-pieces or at other times?

**superfrank** · 26/02/2008, 11:48 AM

He certainly got a good few goals last season, about 3 or 4. I remember the one he got against Rovers where he pretty much rang the length of the pitch. He does get forward for a lot of the set pieces too.

It would be a terrible loss if he goes. We'd have no defensive organisation without him and with very little time to sign any kind of replacement, it'd leave the back in tatters.

**lowflyingseagul** · 26/02/2008, 11:48 AM

my understanding was he has quite a good job in town so he doen't want to play full-time football so bray suits him

Got forward for set pieces every oppurtunity last season. Scored 6 or 7 goals. A huge influence in both boxes.

Terrible news. Let's hope Eddie has a replacement lined up or we are in serious trouble.

**bray boy** · 27/02/2008, 7:51 AM

thats shocking
wicklow news said that we rejected the offer.
cant believe this.
unless someone of the same calibre is found thats us down

**superfrank** · 27/02/2008, 10:32 AM

Big blow for us with Delaney leaving. We will be depending more on Doherty and Pender than we should have been now.

**Grasshopper 99** · 27/02/2008, 12:42 PM

FIRST DIVISION FOOTBALL, thought the club wants to move up the table not down, seriously a massive mistake selling one of our best players, whats next Cawley to BOHS

agreed 100%

**dublinwanderer** · 27/02/2008, 3:41 PM

absolutly pathetic decision to sell our captain. i was shocked when i heard about it and the first thing that came to my head was thats it we are getting relegated.

we've replaced a good experience defender with a under21 porspect from pats. pathetic

In fairness I'm sure Clive, and Full time football have something to do with the decision. If someone doesn't want to play for you there is not a whole lot you can do about it (even if they're contracted). If we do go down because we are dependent on just one individual then it's probably deserved. One thing is for sure it's a massive loss for us.

This club has no ambition, never had, never will. Pathetic, I'm just gutted.
