Not sure where else to put this, but I see Paul Cook has taken over from John Sheridan at Chesterfield. Presumably he decided he didn't want to be closer to his family anymore?
I hope Boco didn't head over there to join up with Cook.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
Didn't realise Karl Sheppard was with them either.
Boco's been at Acrrington almost two months now, he's due a move.
Quigley commenting on Sligo's slowness in offering a new deal here. Dallas also said to be interested in the popcorn-haired striker: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...325733523.html
With the Chesterfield press conference scheduled for 1pm, Cookie will hardly make it to the Showgrounds for 7.45. Wonder in hindsight if he regrets not staying put in February ?
its the only league in the world that by winning it you can almost be assured the team will almost completely different the next year...or you'll be gone bust within a few years!!
I take it the players they mention getting contract offers on Monday could well have plenty of offers on the table already?
I thought Sligo would have tied down the key players at least and worry about building a squad around that.
I'd be surprised if we weren't sniffing around Lee Lynch in some way.
Slightly disturbing to think you'd be sniffing around him in any other way than trying to sign him
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
I'd be surprised if players who have just won a league weren't angling for a better deal, whether with us or elsewhere. We've about eight or nine players nailed down. Lynch to Limerick is one that had occurred to me - it'd be very tempting if he was offered the right terms. If we lose him, Quigley, Jay and Rogers it would mean largely rebuilding the spine of the team, but if they're gone soon I'd have every confidence in our committee, Baraclough and scouts having rebuilt in plenty of time for next season. We might not be that attractive a proposition for Dublin lads who get bored down the country and would rather be closer to home, but for young talented players trying to make a step up, there's a lovely pitch, big crowds, at least a couple of CL games and a top-notch manager whose presence means you'll be attracting attention from across the pond.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
Should be pointed out that Quigley, McGuinness, O'Connor and Finn all spoke at the launch of the PFAI awards. They're all featured in various papers today and even Finn on a 3 year deal mentions being on the dole on Monday. So I don't think the 3 players here out of contract will have any shortage of offers, its more being used a vehicle to push the PFAI's point about instability in the league
Its a fair point, but I've no doubt whatsoever that McGuinness and Quigley would move to Rovers for an extra €100 a week. Loyalty and respect only seems to go one way with the PFAI

Joey didn't come back to Limerick for pittance but I did hear he has spoken to Tommy.
I know Joe is involved in coaching with College Corinthians, wasn't he doing something similar at UL?
Tommy is given a budget and it's up to him to work within that.
As for Behan, ye can keep him.

No he came to Limerick to actually get paid and he will never be owed a cent by us which cant be said for his time at Cork.
From what i've heard most of Bray's players want to re-sign for next season, a few will be leaving though. Mulroy has been offered a scolarship to Florida so think he is taking up the offer. Waters has been linked to Shamrock Rovers but IMO he would be mental to move to them, if he wants games then Bray is the place for him for at least another season.
Is Gavin Kavanagh at Cork any good this season?
Nah, brutal .... Dan Murray on the other hand ...
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Ah na ye won Dan fair and square this season ye should hold onto him. Hows Davin O'Neill doing?
More deluded cultists.
Joe was bitten about nineteen times by various Cork Citys in that past.
A choice between Pat O'Sullivans Limerick and FORAS's second year at Cork was absolutely no choice for a fella with his history.
A budget which he used to outbid massive, huge money spending Limerick for Vinny Sullivan and Derek O'Brien at the start of last season. (TRU FACTZ)Tommy is given a budget and it's up to him to work within that.
Not to mention Dan Murray and Colin Healy at the start of this season. (God help us)
Not sure on the smiley face, 16 goals in 36 starts was far better than I expected from him and he served a purpose this year, won us a crucial game in Longford.As for Behan
As for ye can keep him - Ya we can if we want. Or we can let him go. Choice is a beautiful thing.
In summary - It's clear to anyone who cares to have eyes to see that Cork have a bigger budget than Limerick. Tommy Dunne chooses to spend it on rubbish ----- Tommy Dunne once cribbed in the paper about Limerick ----- Cork fans crib about Limerick.
Because it's like a cult innit.
Looks like Simon Madden is leaving us.

Another one for Rovers maybe.
very true, very true. Can't blame Joey for wanting guaranteed wages.
