Oman should be a good signing for Shamrock Rovers. They seem to be putting a good squad together. I hope it's all based on sound finances. Enough champions have gone down that road.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
i hope we can pick up some of the Fingal scraps on the cheap once Rovers and everyone else have had their fill.

That can only be a good thing,
Oman was offered a deal within our budget, he rejected it. Was set to join Fingal. Now it looks like that deal that is ok for our budget is also ok for Oman. The difference was we didn't get in a bidding war with Fingal for him, if the deal wasn't ok for us we washed our hands of the player. Just like we did for Gary O'Neill at the start of the pre-season. And just like we did with Steven Gray last year, we could have offered him a bigger deal than what you offered but that would have broke our budget, so we were happy to walk away from him, whereas Bohs made repeated, better offers to him to outbid us for the player.
Our turnover is huge compared to Bohs when you were paying several players 2-3k a week. Don't worry, members at SRFC don't blindly agree to budgets just to win trophies and bankrupt the club. Players sign within the budget or don't sign, simple as that. Don't know how many times this has to be explained on here to those of the envious nature. Ps, the budget will also be intact when 2 Fingal players come on board soon.

False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
In fairness I can see where Stu's coming from - any club with as formidable a squad as Rovers' as it the moment sets alarm bells ringing. When we've seen squads like them in the past it's usually meant financial oblivion is only round the corner.
It's only natural that eyebrows might be raised, though I certainly believe you when you say it's all within budget. And I'm certainly envious when it comes to Oman, didn't think he ever come back up north but he'd have been a big coup...
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
The Oman situation gives probably the best example of how Rovers do their business. Last week we watched him choose Fingal, now he's decided he wants to do business within our budget. It'll lead to a much more stable way of doing business once the last of the over spending clubs bite the dust.
Same as Dundalk with Bolger. Even better that Fingal have paid the signing on fee for us! Cheers lads
Just to point out we let 11 players go from last years squad including senior players on relatively large (part time) contracts (Baker, Barrett, Price, Bradley, Fenn etc.) So far we have only signed six players to replace the eleven we let go at the end of last season. No alarm bells required just yet...
thats fair enough HH. Not jealous by the way, not concerned either. Just wondering. And you have cleared it up for me.

I can see why others fans think on hearing Rovers announce all these signings that we're going down the path of overspending and paying big wages but the reality is our budget this year will be very similar to last year.
Sligo Rovers too.
3 clubs that have learned hard lessons and are learning from the experience. Sanity prevailing, in the LOI, well I never.
