(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

[desaintsno.12]

Roddy Collins is the best Irish manager in the country ? ya's are all mad

Affordable Option? Really
Doubt gate receipts this coming season will show that to be true, and as for the season after in the first division, the mind boggles.
MM you and your cohorts have got it wrong but although deep down youa ctually know that, like many of us I guess, it's hard to admit that publicly.
As for Mick Cooke being the signing of the close season.
Correct.

[Mr A]

Maybe Mick Cooke's attitude was - look what I did with the current budget, give me a bit more and who knows what we can do.

And maybe the board's was- if we can't attract crowds and sponsors with second place or three cup finals increasing our expenditure to chase the dream is likely to lead to disaster.

There's always a chance trying to cut your cloth will lead to trouble as well, but for boards it's often a case of looking for the least worst option.

Why cant other be as enlightened as you Mr A! You are totally right.

[KeepersBall]

Fair comment Mr A, however if it was ONLY about the budget there wouldn't have been a problem.

The indiscipline here is shocking

Next thing we will have is players being released by their clubs being posted in the transfers thread.
