QuoteDave would hae been offered a contract before the end of his last one otherwise he could have gone anywhere as a free agent without compensation having to be paid.
It seems that Dave came back over weight and the club are waiting to see if he can get back to match fitness before offering him a contract.

What happens if he does refuse to sign? Does compensation need to be paid for him? Or will he have to go back to junior football for the year? Bit of a mess really.Originally Posted by Jofspring
Once the club make/made him a contract offer similar or higher than his previous contract within a certain time frame then they are entitled to compensation. If no one is willing to pay compensation then I take it he can re-sign with us or go amateur and play junior soccer.
That's good, I thought a situation like Griffin to Derry could happen. And it takes us a season of arguing to get compensation for him. One side needs to back down anyway, because we'd be leaving it very late to replace someone of his quality. I don't really fancy a midfield 3 of Duggan, Rainsford and Hughes. (Not bad players by any means, but a lot of responsibility on Rainsford there)
I think cork have backed down. It would be too expensive even with arbitration because O'Leary has been with us since 17. Cork also have enough midfielders and good young players coming through to not have to spend on compensation.
Nzuzi is there, Tracy is there and possibly this Prince Agyemang too.
Ah I forgot about Nzuzi in there to be honest. Still had him as a defender in my head.
I gave up on the Ghanainans. Too quiet and no updates on them. You'd have thought they'd be in for preseason to at least help them settle a bit.
Nzuzi was saying in an interview when he signed back that he was hoping to play in midfield this season (he qualified that he'd play wherever he was expected to too which was good of him).
Like you I'd be surprised to see the Right to Dream lads showing up at this stage.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Heard that Shane Clarke was interested in coming back to play for Limerick but S. Taylor never contacted him. Must not be interested in him or see him as part of his plans. Pity cos he's a local lad and would have been no harm in bringing him up pre season training to get a good look at him and see how he'd fit in.
He's a striker with a good eye for goal and the squad isnt overflowing with strikers!
Would like to have seen Clarke get a crack at it but it seems between Cork and Limerick they have just decided to not take a gamble on him for whatever reasons.
Trialist playing tomorrow night against Galway according to the Limerick FC Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Yeah pity about Clarke, he could have been a good signing especially since no fees involved!! you'd think he be as good as the other strikers there as well?
Any idea who is the trialist is?
All i heard is he's from overseas.

No idea who the trialist is. It's a striker anyway as far as I know.
Name was on the teamsheet, but scribbled out and 'Trialist' put down instead. Can't make out what was there from the photo.

If it is that guy, in the last year he has played with Tamworth, Daventry Town & Kettering Town. Not the standard of player I thought we'd be going for.
Another Aaron Brown on the cards, playing 2/3 games with a tonne of different sides down in the conference or lower.
I wouldn't think he'll be signing anyway.
Shane Duggan is captain for the coming season. Craig Curran is vice captain.
shane clarke was with limerick before and never did much.he is very tempremental and wouldnt be an asset to the team,more of a liability.as is the squad still needs a few more players and on paper hasnt really improved since last season.
