Except Finglas, who released him. (and BTW he'd absolutely improve our current squad. He was training with Pats all last pre-season (2009) but went to Fingal as we couldn't offer him the right deal)

Ohh indeed, how dare we question "the model club".
Would you rather we bow or grovel when we hand Turner over?
For once im glad that the board have finally got the spine to stand up to the FAI.
Yeah, cos it could never be the case that Sligo fecked up here, could it?
Occam's razor - the simplesy solution is often the correct one. Either - the FAI, in liege with the reverse vampires who don't want to set out to away games before sunset, and also with the aim of creating a Leinster league to cut down on travel costs to aid Bohs, aided another Dublin side in order to further damage the good and virtuous Sligwegians by making up trumped charges against a player, or - Sligo fecked up and are getting what they deserve.
Why is that no-one here will ever, ever, countenance the possibility that their own club is anything less than perfect?
All we can do is judge a club by its past activity as it is generally a fair indication of what the present situation and the future may hold.
The past financial dealings of Sligo Rovers has been straight and consistent.
We meet our players wages every week, we pay our Taxes and we even made a 6 figure profit last season.
All this creates a trust in our board and the way it is run.
Now shall we have a run down of Shams financial activity over the past decade?
very fair point while the whole affair has increased my dislike of Shamrock,their manager and the player involved it also appears to me Rovers may not be beyond reproach and there is no point being blind to that..
You don't remember two years ago - "We need E100k in two weeks to survive", followed two weeks later by "Thanks for the E100k - now we need E100k by the end of the season to survive"?
Aside from that, your post is nonsense. You judge a case by the facts, and the fact is that Sligo are the ones under investigation here, not Rovers. What Rovers' previous owners did is of no relevance to the facts here.
Can any of the Sligo fans delighted with the appeal tell me what they expect from it?what do you think your club has to gain from it?Is it worth the risk?do you even see a risk?In my opinion your club has just scored a big og and will get hammerd over the slightest thing now such as ticketing.

Perhaps they heard as I did (from a source close to the Shams board) that MON told the porn star "I want to sign you but get out of that Sligo contract". Admittedly now the sh1t has hit the fan I suspect some amnesia among shams but while Sligo did appear to be at best naive in their dealings with Turner there is no way shams are whiter than white in this case and no amount of preaching about the errors of others (if only they gave a throphy for that ) will change that.
Marino im not interested,any Sligo fans on who are not just into a slagging match?
whoops, worried that someone might know something that went on at shams ? perhaps you were all too busy watching affairs at Dalymount to notice itI know it happens but my point is that shams are hardly whiter than white when the manager encouraged a player to get out of a previous contract - no rules broken (I think) but morally not great.
Oh Dear, more of the guessing game rather than hard fact.
I fully acknowledged that i did not hear it directly but it was from a Shams fans that has links with the board. As i said it was mentioned to me before the whole shams/sligo debacle blew up and was not seen as that important .
feel free to believe/ disbelieve as you see fit but it has more substance that a lot of stuff in this thread.
To be fair you could change the player & the clubs & the sentiment would be the same the world over, football supporters are fickle at the best of times & we've all been guilty of allowing changing situations to cloud our judgements & opinions.
Sligo announced before the Cup Final they had signed Turner, obviously using some of the ticket sale money to fund his signing on fee.
They signed him on an form that the FAI later refused to accept.
They then lost the Cup Final.
They then supposedly offered Turner a lower deal.
Cant really blame him for having second thoughts, can you?
bhs
Obviously, ya?
The finalist don't receive any of the proceeds from ticket sales. Surely the "cup specialists" know this? I don't know where ye are pulling this lower contract offer out. Ye supposedly then offered him a monkey dipped in curry sauce. Can't really blame him for having second thoughts, can you?
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
still no takers,the silence is deafening.
I can see no point in appealing the original decision. There is no benefit from it from what I can see. Only creating trouble for ourselves.
Thanks Dong ,just curious as to why its being celebrated by some.
Anyone know the basis for the appeal ?
