Good luck to him, great player or not he has handled this whole situation in a poor way and shown zero respect for our club.
I'll be giving him plenty of abuse when he lines out against us for the dirty shams next year and I doubt I'll be on my own.
Jumped up nordie *****.
serious amount of chinese whispers happening here, Shams just signed Dennehy up on website today, no mention of Chris Turner so that says to me the earlier rumour on here that he signed for Shams at the weekend isnt true, lets wait and see what happens, who knows could be a turner, russell midfield this season
i find it hard to believe he has signed and not one shams fan on here gloating. if he had signed im sure we wud have loads of them on here telling us we are a small club and so on...... the tossers. if he stays i will be delighted and if he goes, he can go fuc himself the money grabbing nordie.
A comment or press release from the club would nip any rumours in the bud - by not doing so they are allowing the situation drag on.
id say we will be waiting till sundays forum, if he gone just come out with it. the longer they leave it the worse it will be on the club because they should be keeping their fans updated. hopefully no news is good news. maybe they are not releasing a statement as he is still a rovers player. wishfull thinking from me.....
Got a text froma shams fan yesterday saying he was up but hadnt signed (said if he had isgned he'd know) today got another text saying he was up along with 3 Cork players and signed.Said Turner said he "didnt undertsnad what he was signing with us" figue that whatever way you want.
So lets wait and see.Maybe we will get a definite Sunday.
Is he here is he there, who knows ,anyway we are set up nicely regardless.
Jus keeping ye informedish
Any word on Russell?
the one question that needs to be answered is did he sign a contract for sligo rovers last november. if he put pen to paper & signed a contract then he is a sligo rovers player (according to the law of contract). if he now wants away as far as i know we are entitled to put a price on his head & if shams want to sign him then they pay for him. what needs to be answered is have the club offically got his signature on paper, if so then we can negotiate. please correct me if i'm wrong.
Yeah your right there. If Turner has agreed a two year contract then Rovers are entitled to keep him to it unless an agreement is reached with another club or a mutual termination is agreed. There may be a clause in the contract so that he can buy it out, but that should be set quite high anyways.
I'm a bit disappointed by the amount of abuse the lad is getting on here. As far as we know hes our player. If and when he leaves I'll be the first to condemn him, but its a bit uncalled for until then.
Might well be confirmed tomorrow officially that he is Tallaght bound from what Ive heard!
bhs
hopefully he's gone. dont need tossers like him at the club....
Red 4 Eva...do you still have that banner you made for connor? X out the connor part and throw turner in i reckon
like that banner lads.. what game did that make its debut in?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

Sligo Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of Chris Turner on a two-year-contract. Turner joins after a year at Dundalk and previous spells with Partick Thistle, Bohemians and the Bit o' Red.
Turner had a very successful 18-month spell with Rovers between January 2006 and July 2007. The midfielder was recently named in the PFAI team of the year for 2009. He will be unable to play in the FAI Cup final with Sporting Fingal due to being cup-tied.
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
Far be it for me to question the word of someone who obviously knows everything about the affairs of every club in league but with my very limited knowledge of such matters it is my suspicion that registering a player and signing a contract with a player are two different processes and IF he signed a contract with us last November for two years then he has signed a contract -being registered to play is a another argument.
God you've lost me there. He was signed with Dundalk last year/season I agree with you, that's one club.
When last season finished he signed a contract with Rovers for this year/season and next year/season and we can only assume at that time he was out of contract with Dundalk but anyway make that two clubs for last year/season.
Are you saying that if he now signs for Shams he will be with three clubs in the same year/season?![]()
