Close Season/Pre-Season Rumours

[Hitman]

could it be possible to put in here or start a new thread showing who has already signed up for each club for next season just to get a rough idea of who is staying where and then who is available?

Cork City: Gearóid Morrissey, Shane Duggan, Brian Lenihan, Kevin Burns, Daryl Horgan and Kalen Spillane.

Silly season starting early in Limerick.

There is no way he will go there. He will be gone to Everton.

Why is it silly season in limerick because its mentioned that Seanie Maguire is in talks with us?

Two comments below it mention he is most likely going to head abroad.

It would be more silly for limerick not to approach a talent like that.

[Lim till i die]

Just came in to say Limerick are talking to no one.

We've not done it before Christmas for years, don't see why this year is any different.

Now there's your fair warning clubs, six weeks to get everyone signed up.

I wonder does Partizan find the carry on below in Waterford "silly"??

[brendy_éire]

Rumours up here that Kenny is talking to Dundalk.

[Charlie Darwin]

If Kenny wants to get anything from Rovers he'd be wise not to talk to anyone.

Bit harsh on his family and mates.

Only asking really but, let's say his contract was for €1000 a week with Rovers for 3 seasons. Whilst looking for his compensation from Rovers of around €104,000, he takes a job at Dundalk for 2 seasons at €500 a week.
Is he still not entitled to the remaining €52,000 that he would have got had he still been in charge at Rovers?

No. He'd be entitled to some settlement for loss of earning power but not the whole amount, and by talking with other clubs he's showing an intention not to fulfill his contract with Rovers.

Common sense would dictate he make a settlement for part of the amount with Rovers and then speak to other clubs, but if these rumours are true then he's harming his own claim.

Inaccurately registered?
So all games Rafter played could be deemed nul and void? Will that have any effect on the final league standings?

Sounds like Waterford clutching at straws, why did they not bring this up before the games?

Seeing that he is not being permitted to fulfill his contract and presumably he has his p45 then he can talk to whoever he likes.

Or after the first leg even. I still suspect that it's the chairman trying to clutch onto a position he should no longer be holding on to.

He doesn't though. He's still contracted to Rovers, unless the case has been settled behind closed doors.

If he's still contracted to Rovers, can we assume he's still getting paid?

[wonder88]

Kenny would be a great catch for Dundalk and Shamrocks may well regret the day they sacked him. I think it was clear to see that alot of the players in Tallagh were not putting in any effort, players that could have been booted out at the end of the season.

[Charlie Darwin]

If he's still contracted to Rovers, can we assume he's still getting paid?

I don't see why he wouldn't be. They might have been deferred in lieu of the court case but he would have been paid until then.

[brendy_éire]

I don't see why he wouldn't be. They might have been deferred in lieu of the court case but he would have been paid until then.

But if he was getting paid, why would he have bothered going to court?
My guess is that talks between him and Rovers broke down, Rovers stopped paying, he decides to go to court for breach of contract.

[Martinho II]

Confirmed on twitter just now that Collie James is staying for us for another season!

[pineapple stu]

But if he was getting paid, why would he have bothered going to court?

Another option - however unlikely - is that he has an option of a pay rise elsewhere, which he can't take before getting properly sacked by Rovers.

Or maybe it's just principle; he wants to get what he's owed by Rovers, and he wants to get back into the game with another club.
