Whether or not he's registered with the league is surely irrelevant regarding his signing for anyone else? If he's signed a contract with Sligo, then he's an employee of Sligo. FAI registration is a completely different thing. No?

Id think the same, unless the contract/registration form are one and the same.

If they are seperate though the question would be though is theyre any point in Sligo continuing to pay him when the FAI wont register him?

I am pretty sure the FAI claim you can only have one contract, once your on an FAI standard contract you cant be on any other contract, the same or different.

No it was that we were paying them more than the SPC.

From todays Star:

Robert Bayly on trial with Blackpool.
Barry Molloy close to a move to Bristol Rovers.
Darlington interested in Dan Connor(although he doesn't want to leave til he gets what he's owed...good luck with that).
Dundalk linked with Stephen Maher & John Flood.
Rovers linked with ex-Mons Paul Whelan.

The FAI also caim an idiot like Fran Gavin is the right man to lead the LoI in the right direction.

I never said he was eager to move, in fact in a previous post I said you shouldnt be worried as he signed for you despite our interest ,Jesus wept.

The FAI actually rejected Turners initial contract as it was not on the correct form and Sligo made no effort to close that loophole, so there is no contract to cancel. He has not at any point been a Sligs player and has been a free agent all this time. If they were foolish enough to pay a player whose contract was voided by the FAI, thats their problem.

We obviously are not all as clever as shams, or should I say sly

They saw it on a confidential internal Bohs memo.

Would be interested to find out if ye approached Sligo Rovers for permission to talk to turner or did ye go straight to the player himself? God knows, micheal o niell did enough talking about him in the papers since he signed for us.
