We don't believe any fee was paid up front.

I remember it being mentioned here that Richie Ryans wages went down to 250 the start of his player of the year season because the year before he had a poor season. I'm sure it wouldn't have had to come up too much to entice him to st what with the club having won the FAI and good feelin around the club.

We have around 14 players signed. Hardly a big squad. And how anybody from Dundalk knows that Gaynor won't start is beyond me. I think he will start.

So no huge difference in the size of the panel. And unlikely to ge a huge difference in the wage bill.

Dillon out as well.

Yup two seasons ago he was down to about 250 or so because the season before he was woefull, ya know when nobody knew him or wanted him. His contract was halved I think, not totally sure on that though.
But last year he was our biggest earner, and rightfully so given the turn around in his performances.

Because they assume he will be a squad player as Sligo have ambitions of winning the league and it's hard to see Gaynor being in a title winning team. Don't get me wrong if cook gets the best out of him you'll have a great player, one of the best crosses of a ball in the league. It's his overall attitude. He's really really lazy.

Before last season he was talking about moving as he couldn't "go back to part time". There's absolutely NO WAY a full time player was on €250 a week.

There was nothign on the Pats website about gannon.

Corry and Aidan Price o be announced this week for Pats

**Charlie Darwin** · 08/01/2012, 3:10 PM

I thought Corry was going to Sligo?

250 was declared. The rest was under the table and skimmed off Westlife royalties from Mark Feehily.

So was Joseph Ndo by all accounts.

Who told you that?

**pineapple stu** · 08/01/2012, 4:39 PM

He'd hinted at it on his facebook. He was in talks with a few clubs (Shamrock Rovers too)

**Oldred** · 08/01/2012, 4:46 PM

Why does this thread always descend into a rumourmill about the finances of Sligo Rovers every time we sign/re-sign someone?
Pats are pretty busy as well but apparently dont warrant any idle gossip about how thery're going to pay their players.
I'd imagine all clubs are trying to strenghten within their means, so can't see why one club should be constantly singled out considering the conspiracy theories of the past have yet to be proven!
Just wonderin' where the jealousy stems from!

**Charlie Darwin** · 08/01/2012, 4:57 PM

There was speculation a few days ago about how Pats were going to pay their players, to be fair. It's kind of a thing in this league.

Don't know the exact figure RR was on, but last year two of our first teamers were on not much more than that.

How much was his other contract worth that year?
