Great signing for Drogs
Where are Drogs getting all the money?
Just to save everyone else the bother.
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week

Even stronger rumour that he won't be the only one!!
Even stronger stronger rumour he signed for Rovers last November.
Even stronger stronger stronger rumours that tey signed him on the wrong forms and the FAI wont accept it
A bit of a weak rumour that he signed a contract that was the most valid at the time of signing. Any forms relevant or otherwise to the FAI probably did not exist.Even stronger stronger stronger rumours that tey signed him on the wrong forms and the FAI wont accept it

You said it. You can't sign a player for 2010 on a 2009 contract. Even Bohs didn't get that wrong....
Or Derry for that matter
I'm really confused. There were loads of signings announced by clubs between the end of last season and the end of the year - had a very quick look back at this thread - were all those players not really signed as such?You said it.

Also what about players who still had a year or two left on their existing contract at the end of last season - are they signed on a 2009 contract for 2010?
Yeah most players "signed" already aren't properly signed until the FAI approve a clubs budget... I know we're allowed sign players but as of a few weeks ago we were the only team allowed to do so...I'm really confused.

Cheers Doomofman but do you know is there a difference between a player signing a contract with a club and a player being signed/registered to play in the league?
I'm not entirely sure... I'd have to assume from what's been said before that players can sign contracts with club all they want but it doesn't mean the FAI is going to register them, especially if it risks putting the budget of the club for the season over.
I think that difference is why it's being suggested Sligo will have to pay Turner although he was technically never their player and is thus free to go to Rovers.
If he has a contract (in the general employment sense) with Sligo, he can't just walk out though surely. Do football contracts have one-month-notice type clauses?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I suppose in the general employment sense, if he's there as little as he is, he can presumably give the standard couple of days' notice and walk out. The transfer window or the three club rule wouldn't affect him though if he was never registered. But that's me guessing to fit what seems to have happened obviously.
Clubs are employers and can enter into contracts with whomever they want and the contract stands on its own terms in law. League registration is in the gift of the FAI and is a totally different matter.
While a player could be contracted (and as per the terms paid) he cannot play in the League without registration of the League.
Contract - legal agreemebt between parties (player/club)
Registration - FAI agreement that player can participate in League.
I wish
As long as we get our signing on fee back, let him go.
I would agree with this. Chris Turner would have a contract as an employee of Sligo, but could not play in the league until a separate registration was registered with the FAI.
If Shamrock wanted to sign him they/Chris Turner would have to reach agreement with Sligo to cancel his contract before registering him with the FAI.
