Transfer Rumours

[Black and White]

to black and white....don't let flexy annoy you.
he is jealous tht we are going out and getting premier class players and can afford it.
why else is he saying this? because he thinks of us as a threat...
which is fantastic
just go with it

Im not...i just dont see where people are gettign these stories from!They're the same people crying about talking about Dundalk all the time when its the same people who bring us up in threads all the time...if ye want to talk about Dundalks finances then go to the club section and post what you want in a finance rumour section and keep this to a TRANSFER Rumour section!!

John Lester to Pats huge loss to Galway despite the smart asses on here.

Fair enough - if they are seen to be culling the sqaud to bring in other players / seen to be trying to balance the wage bill - then that's acceptable.

If however they continue with this signing anyone available and getting them in on fairly obsecene amounts (which I believe was one of Connor's main hobbies) on 3 year contracts - then you've got to start asking questions.



I wonder how many houses you could get on the site of Oriel Park - although we may find out pretty soon once things start to go wrong up there

With regards wages, last seasons budget was over 10k a week, now naturally with promotion we are going to increase that arent we?...of course!
We released all but 4 players from last years squad, 3 of these are on p/t contracts.With regards Connor and his penchant for 3 year contracts, nobody signed has been offered more than a 1 year deal.

As for Oriel and houses, The land which Oriel is on is not Owned By Gerry Matthews or the Club, It is owned by the Casey family,(Ie Des Casey, UEFA Life member/former Vice President and former FAI president!),one of the towns great footballing families, who have leased it to dundalk for life as far as i know. It cant be sold without the families permission which would never be given!

certainly is! (good player though)

[Magicme]

Right have to get me a season ticket for Inchicore so!

[holidaysong]

Réiteoir obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. If only keeping 4 players from last year isn't a cull then what is? And as Flawless stated, all players have only been offered one year deals. Just because we are signing players on full-time deals doesn't mean they are all on €2,000 a week.. A player can be on €600 a week and still be full-time..

[dannydundalk]

exactly holidaysong just because most our squad will be full time most of them will just be on say 1k a week and our squad will only consist of say 16 full timers and a few part times with not much money
by the way dundalk get money out of hiring oriel out...day to day ...as well as that we were giving 30k for winning the 1st division as i recall

anyone that mouths ow you will go bust etc.! you really can shove it now as you are fans of teams jealous of what we can possible do this season

[The Lilywhites]

I wouldn't worry Holidaysong. Réiteoir is living in Bohs land.

€60,000 actually..

Sure - if you'd have actually read the post - I stated that "Fair enough - if they are seen to be culling the sqaud to bring in other players / seen to be trying to balance the wage bill - then that's acceptable."

I was under the initial impression that you hadn't released players allowing you to bring more in - that was before one of your colleagues informed me in here of this fact. It's if you hadn't of released anyone - but just kept adding "marquee-signings" (to quote the Yanks) to the bill then problems start to mount.

But then again - I'm not one of these prevalent characters who squats on other clubs message boards picking up every tiny bit of irrelevant discussion.

It is owned by the Casey family,(Ie Des Casey, UEFA Life member/former Vice President and former FAI president!),one of the towns great footballing families, who have leased it to dundalk for life as far as i know. It cant be sold without the families permission which would never be given!

I'm sure that's what Rovers fans said about Mr Kilcoyne before the whole Milltown thing happened, and Brighton fans said about those reprobates before they sold the Goldstone Ground out from underneath them.

Property developers getting involved in high level running of clubs is not necessarily a good thing...

And as for "living in Bohs land" - only one response for that:

[dannydundalk]

let all the bohs know that darren mansarams better than crowwwee
sorry for going off topic just to reiteoir

[Rovers1]

Ok then. I wish other people on here could see that what we are doing can hardly be termed overspending given the fact that we only have 9 players currently signed up for the new season and that we're unlikely to have a very large sqaud - 16 players in the first team complimented by youngsters is what Connor said at the press conference..

Reiteoir. Oriel Park is owned by the Casey. Casey senior left in his will that Oriel Park could never be sold and that as long as there is a football team in dundalk, Oriel park will be available. The Casey family cannot just upsticks and sell OP.

Agree, he was a rock for us as we fought for our Premier Division lives, one of the players from last season I would have back in an instant, seriously weakens our already weak hand

Did Seanie not tell you how good Paul Brown is?

Paul Brown > Péle according to Connor

[LeixlipRed]

The old saying comes to mind here
"don't argue with a fool, others might not know the difference"
Reiteoir clearly has no clue of what he is babbling on about!

[Réiteoir]

Well holidaysong understands perfectly - and as he's the most sane and clued up Dundalk fan on here (rather than some random with 3 posts to their name) - that's good enough for me.
