What lunatic put Vinny Faherty on high-end wages?
Also bear in mind we have offloaded the following from 2013:
Vinny Faherty (high end wages, although you wouldnt think it on performances)
John Dillon (mid to high wages, Southport)
Tiarnan Mulvenna (mid wages - Glenavon)
John Sullivan (low to mid wages, Shels)
Stephen Mc'Donnell (as above)
Aarran Shanahan (lower wages - NI)
In saying that, there is no doubt with what has come in, is costing more, but its much better quality.

Was shocked we signed him as I've never rated him with any of his previous clubs. Seemed like a bit of a panic signing for me at the time.
Add in Francis McCaffrey and Jordan Keegan who probably would be lower to mid end wages.
Plus local lads Simon Kelly (who is currently training with us) and Nathan Murphy who would be on low wages. Conor Winn too. Keith Ward will probably sign back hopefully.
We did off-load a fair amount but can't argue with any of the players that Kenny did let go. Some did a decent job, mainly John Sullivan and Mulvenna, but ultimately have been replaced by better players.

We were struggling to sign an established centre forward. No one really expected Hoban to become one of the best strikers in the LOI so quickly.
Players are very keen to join Dundalk now, 12 months ago, it was a different story.
I agree Faherty was a bit of a panic signing. I don't know if was one our best paid players though.
I would probably 're-classify' Faherty on mid to high wages, but I do recall hearing he had options elsewhere, and he would have joined expecting to be a first choice forward. I can't even remember how many games he started in the league, def less than 5. Not a good move.

That would be a bit hasty even by his standards.
LTFC's Josh O'Hanlon is signing for a Championship club in England in the next few days. Burnley, Bournemouth and Reading all in for him apparently, two bids accepted it seems. Good luck to the lad.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Slightly OT, but don't think it's worthy of a new thread.
Stewart Greacen talks about his time in Ireland in a brief article:

Interesting to note his opinions on the technicality of Irish football.
