Turner admitted that he was swayed to Sligo because of his relationship with Bit O'Red boss Paul Cook. The duo worked with each other for a short period in 2007 and Turner was impressed with the Scouser's ambitions for next season.

"When I knew I was leaving Dundalk it was a toss up between Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers. The two managers I love working under are Paul Cook and Sean Connor so that was the reason I picked Sligo", he said

Over 2010 anyway http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35...ss-2010-target

**WoodquayBoy** · 30/01/2010, 9:54 PM

That is some peformance from Rovers on the Season Ticket front - they are on the up big time, and when they get there, no one will be capable of catching them for a long long time I fear

Thats would be a grwat signing if true, Foster is one who wont put up with his crap off the field and im sure there will be clauses in his contract. He seemed to like it in Dundalk as per a few people I was talking to that he spoke too.(including myself once upon a time)

Although this "genius/maverick" could do a good job for us, I'd worry that he'd go under again. The main thing is that it seems like the rats are leaving a sinking ship down in Cork.

And we'll even throw in a couple of Dundalk Democrats and an Argus gift voucher (that's the Argus newspaper befor eyou get excited), plus we'll shout for his train ticket down (one way of course).

I think, weecountyman, we've found the perfect solution to our problem. I'll go halves on the bus ticket.
As an aside Georgie has been made captain according to Shoddy in the star.

Saw that! Plus he's signed. So that means he won't be gracing Oriel Park for 5 games!
