calm down dear...

This thread has the potential to emulate that other laugh-fest - the Bozo's financial plight thread.

Hey Sligoman hope you dont have to eat some humble pie.........

The PFAI have now stated that Aaron Greene has yet to sign a contract for anyone. I wonder will he be the only one?


Placid Casual is correct, this thread is turning into comedy gold!

Wonder how many of the players CookE signed had a "move to England on a free" type clause in their contract??

The Sligo board have been made to look really silly so far so it wouldn't surprise......

Sligo looked fantastic the other night but at this moment their squad is thin.

Hopefully we will get Roddy, him and Rico seem favourites around here at the min.
Talk around town of Russell, Gerry Carr and heres a classic LOI story in the making, JULIAN DICKS.
Foster applied aswell but he wont get it and either will Carr or Dicks, out of the rest of those names bandied about its Roddy, Rico or Russell.

Wouldn't be able to enforce that until the summer I'd reckon. There's talk that some of the players may not have signed actual contracts yet and in that case they'd be free to move to England until the end of February I think. Another reason to get a manager in quickly.

Martin Russell would be a good fit, though in fairness it'd be a thankless task. He has security in UCD and not great expectations. I doubt the Sligo board are dumb enough to bring in Julian Dicks or Roddy, the "fans" might buy it for a while, but supporters would howl. Rico would be a good fit but is there a youth set up in Sligo? If not then I doubt he'd go for it. Give it to Gerry Carr, he's the best alternative. Though....I did say a few days ago that a little birdie said Cook would go and Foster would be in like Flynn. Same person told me the Irreverent Paisley had popped his clogs, 1 out of 3 isn't bad, though it wasn't the 1 I'd have hoped for.

Roy Keane ;P

Maybe....but the compo from Accrington Stanley is probably very welcome.

Sligo supporters might well be more concerned about their judgement based on the daliance with Ian Foster and the reports of their interest in Roddy.

Three good managers have gone from the league. O'Neill, Cook and Fenlon. From the very much outside looking in, Cook seems to be a hard manager to follow. Who's the favourite to get the job?

Thought I read on BBC that Ian Foster was down to the final four candidates for the Glentoran job, so make of that what you will.

Julian Dicks would be brilliant - if for nothing else but the inevitable "Dicks Out" campaign that'd eventually result.

The fact that Roddy is a genuine candidate for this job is ****ing class.

Ireland's shrewdest comm-i-ttee on the ball as usual!

Aaron Greene to Accrington. Is this the guy Sligo thought they had signed while Cook was manager?

greene spent the last season at sligo but hadnt signed a new contract as of yet hence he can go to accrington

I wouldnt say Greene is much of a loss. Dont rate him that highly.

Wonder what Mr Greene has been living off in the last couple of months since "agreeing terms" with Sligo? He couldn't possibly have gotten either a signing on fee or wages without signing a SPC contract as that would be deemed as paying players under the table and as we know Sligo would never do such a thing.

Interesting to note the subtle difference in language used in Sligo's press releases when they announce the "signings" of players. Some players are announced as signing contracts (Ndo, Cretaro, Davoren, Brush, Dillon) and others are announced just as agreeing terms (Greene, North, Peers, Keane). We have seen with Greene that agreeing terms is not worth the press release it's written on so wonder how many players Sligo have actually signed for 2012?

Also read this morning that Johnny McDonnell as new manager. How would Sligo fans feel about him?

would love to get North down here, I know Tommy was interested

Sorry where has the Greene to Accrington story come from? Don't see anything about it elsewhere. I know it's a rumours thread etc but anyone got any definite link on it?

Certainly would not be surprised to see some of our players ending up over there. Nothing surprises me in this league.
