Your post does not make much sense to me.
It's pretty much the norm for clubs to have players on their books when a manager is appointed.
The possibility that the club may have consulted with their preferred candidate(s) about this or other signings may also have escaped you.
If your last point is true then that's fair.
I don't think that Cherrie was very likely to be snapped up in the period that you're recruiting your new manager. Similar situation happened with us with the board signing Fenn (on ridiculous wages) just before Sean Connor took over. Fenn didn't fit our system at all and was a disaster that season. I know it's not so much the case with a keeper but I the point still applies.

I take it that sligo have plenty of cash again as if they are signing them now on full time contracts the players obviously have to be paid through the off season. Where is all the money coming from?
Ndo was on a pay as you play contract with Bohs if i remember correctly. I hope Rovers have tied him down to a similar deal or else he may go missing for large portions of the season.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
The minimum of 75k from the cup final, our europe money, top 5 finish , great recent gate reciepts for a bottom half club and a very astute treasurer is a help.
Next seasons budget wont be much bigger than this seasons.
The same amount of money will go much further.
We dont have to cut back like other clubs because we werent paying big wages to a big squad in the first place.
Lots of clubs have imploded around us and this has left us in a decent position by sitting back and holding our own
While I must say I am delighted to see the ambition of our club with these new signings, I am nervous regarding the financial side of things.
Time will tell.
Really interesting to see Sligo making 2 great signings before there season is finished at all. They could be a really strong side in the league next season if they can sign any more players of Ndo's and Turners quality .
