Players definately gone.....Dempsey, Jake Kelly,Prendagast, Shields, Murphy, Quigley, D O Connor, Keith Long (Assist Manager) in fact 1 player from 2011 team has signed back...we will probably have at best a LSL side.
Where are they all going - not many clubs have money to spend.
By all accounts Bohs and Dundalk will be scaled back on last year. Monaghan Cork Shels and Drogheda have signed palyers already and I would imagine have accounted for a sizable part of their budgets. Derry dont have a manager. Pats were working off a small budget last year. With all due respects most of our players arent good enough for Sligo and Rovers. UCD - i doubt it!!
We were always going to lose a few of our better players, but a total wipeout would be unthinkable.
Who has actually signed back?
I don't think the board could agree a budget with Pat and while that was going on the players were looking for clubs, Prendagast to Drogheda and Shields to St. Pats with more departures imminent..it does not look to good, we don't have enough money to retain our players, absolutely no money coming in to the club..
Hearing Chris Shields is on his way to us. Dont know alot about him other than when he played against us, seems to play above midfield, doesnt score alot. Is he any good?
Bray still can't be relegated either way. It's part of the participation agreement.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Shielo is from Dublin, northside i think. Good signing for Dundalk.
Prendergast signed for Drogheda too. Things are looking very bad at the moment for us, really need to get our off the field problems sorted out ASAP.
We've 3 players signed back at the moment - Brian Kane (keeper), Daire Doyle and Marty Waters.

AFAIK chris is from clondalkin...
I cannot believe that we are losing good players to Monaghan, Drogheda and Dundalk and Waterford, no disrespect to them. One step forward and two steps back!!! Conor Murphy to Monaghan - how can they afford to pay better wages and travel expenses to him???
Its the Roddy factor combined with promotion bringing revenue.
With all due respects - you wont get the cumulative total crowds for the season that we will get just quite simply from a geography point of view. While there is a Roddy effect it will still have to be paid for!!
Is Danny O'Connor staying with ye?
