Interesting to see that Wayne Russell is taking a case against Derry saying he's owed wages. Also, it would appear that Galway haven't received compensation due for Murphy.
I thought you couldn't get a licence if you owed money to players or if you owed transfer money to clubs?
We brought Russell in quickly to replace Alan Gough (As Keely would not work with him), we paid Kildare 10,000 euros in order to secure his services straight away, at that stage no contract was signed as Russell had already moved clubs once. Russell got a serious Injury after only 70 minutes for Derry against Cork and was out for the season. Derry City paid for his medical bills in Dublin plus paid him a weekly wage for the remainder of the season.
Naturally after the season ended we released Russell as no formal contract had been agreed.
Russelll is now claiming we gave him a verbal agreement that he was contracted for another season. If you ask me we were good enough to pay him for the remainder of the season never mind pay all his medical bills......hes ripping the arse out of this now, if its true.
As for Alan Murphy....lets Just see if he plays on Friday...!!!
Macy...why dont you join the license board of control, you seem to know more about it than they do.
