    If they've contracts he cant just "get rid of them". Maybe at the end of the season but isn't Roddy himself only contracted until then?..If he was trying to get rid of them he'd have to find clubs for them or settle their contracts, either way its unlikely but you wouldnt know what Roddy will do.Id imagine settling 15 contracts would be fairly expensive!

    Dont know too much with regards to the contracts or whether they're playing to the end of year but its still shocking! He played 4 new players on thurs and they made no impact! Not sure this manager is guna mak smart decisions for the club.

    If he's released Killian (unless he's crocked till the end of the season) and replaced him with anyone below the standard of Damien Duff, he should be strung up.

    Hopefully the rumours aren't true, though. First I've heard of them.

    It's true. The full list of players released:

    Alan Keely; Wes Byrne, Ben Whelehan, Keith Foy, Killian Brennan, Pierre Ennis, Jason Colwell, Ray Scully, Robbie Collins, Robbie Farrell, Dave McGill, Barry Burke, Philip Hughes, Chris Deans.

    Players retained: Robbie Horgan, Barry Ryan, Tony O'Connor, Thomas McGauley, Derek Griffin, Paul Crowley, Don Tierney, Cathal O'Connor, Gary O'Neill, Peter Hynes, Scott Friel, Ronnie Henry, Marc Kenny

    Letting Killian, McGill and Deans go is madness. Roddy must have lost it completely.

    I agree, dont know what roddy is playing at?! the signings he made this week had no effect on thurs and dublin still lost. i think the club will suffer with this decision of roddy's and he will walk away at the end of the season!!!!! struggle to believe that the club supported this decision.

    Sad to say but Keith Foy has to be finished now being released by Dub City has to be the final straw in what could have been a great career

    I heard a rumour last night which is probably just that, but its been doing the rounds in Dublin, that "The Rod" is trying to ruin Ronan Seery so himself and his mates can take control of the club. As I said probably just a rumour but it was doing the rounds in football circles during the week. Certainly getting rid of 14 players with no replacements signed looks like lunacy. Any time I saw Killian Brennan he looked a very decent player, Hughes is quite decent too. I'd say ye're players cant stand Roddy..

    Can't see why he'd do that. If this gamble doesn't come off and the club is ruined, Roddy's remaining credibility will be utterly destroyed and he'll never manage again.

    Killian Brennan is indeed a class player. He'd walk into most Premier Division teams, and he's only nineteen. Crazy to let him go.

    Yeah you're probably right but nothing Roddy does would surprise me

    Is it not just a case of them all being placed on the transfer list, basically alerting clubs to their (possible) availability? Maybe it's Roddy's perverse idea of the ultimate wake-up call. After losing to Pat's and Derry they are all but doomed and perhaps he sees it as a last-gasp chance of giving certain players the ultimate jolt and he actually has no intention of culling the more obvious one but wants them all to realise no one is safe!?!

    He told them all individually they have no future at Dublin City and was on about finding them new clubs and wishing them all well

    But he has to be given a chance. If he's transfer listing alot of players, theres obviously a reason. Im sure he's got signings lined up. He has good contacts in england and I know from good sources he has a few players coming over. Remember, he did something similiar at Bohs, and look what happened to them, double winners within 2 years and a few good uefa cup wins. He may be a looper alrite, but he's a looper I wouldnt mind having as manager.
