Obviously a fair few on here will get deals done this week.
Just to be clear, anyone on this is free to sign for anybody (so UCD fans, if Bolger goes, you get nothing)

Which is why I'm so pleased Killer's not there.

Good to see even the PFAI throwing digs at the league champions.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Ah well, I enjoyed our 2011 title charge while it lasted.

Keep the faith, Fivesilver, no point offering contracts until everyone sobers up!
Don't you have to pay compensation to the developing club for signing any underage player?
interesting that theres only one Cork City player on that list
Only if they are signed on Pro Contracts.
Like the ones some of our players are on, and Derry think they can get for free.
Ger Hanley from Mervue would'nt be a bad signing for any club .
He's just after getting a call up to the u21 squad.
Yet he hadn't any call ups to the Under 19 squad recently?
Finn Harps have FT players?
Lets redefine what it means to heal
No, but you can sign young players on Professional contracts. We have too many good young players coming through to lose them for nothing.
Semi-pro contracts surely?
Lets redefine what it means to heal
You have Amateur contracts or Professional contracts, simples.
Some cracking players on that list. Sligo and Dundalk look to have weakened the most, at least on paper. If I could I'd nab Alan Kirby, Richie Ryan and Jason Byrne. Going to be a fun close season!
None of the Rovers players on the list have left the club. Just haven't signed a new contract yet. I thought John Dillon was one of the two players we had re-signed for next season already actually
I would, if I were a Sligo fan, question the professionalism of a club that would leave Richie Ryan out on a limb. Along with Williams he'd be the star of the league this year. I'd personally love to see him go abroad, preferably to a good footballing country like Germany or France, though if Sligo had a good side it would be justice to see him pick up a league medal.
For all we know Richie could be asking for stupid money now and the club may not be willing to pay that amount (see Raf this time last year). He signed a one year contract at the start of the season and at that stage a lot of people didn't think he should be in the starting 11 based on the way he had played in 2009! I'm sure a lot of the players on the list will get sorted out soon enough
It's got very little to do with professionalism, and a lot to do with stability. It's pretty obvious that in this league you have to balance the priorities of trying to hang onto the best players you can with keeping on an even keel financially. I want us to have a powerful squad next year, but without going down the route of Shels/Bohs/Cork/take your pick.
As I said before, Cook should be the priority. Over the last 12 months, we lost, at one stage or another, Cretaro, Almeida, Amond, Brush and then for the final Blinkhorn and Ryan. That's an awful lot of quality to have to plan without, and says a huge amount about the manager's ability.

If only it was that simple in this league.
You can have 1) pro, 2) amatuer, 3) paid under the table pro, 4) paid under the table amateur, 5)paid as a barman amateur, 6) paid as a coach amateur, 7) dual contracted pros, 8) independent contractors
