(Very early) Transfer gossip/squad retention

**Strongbow10** · 20/05/2014, 1:46 PM

Has Enda Curran really been released by Derry?

Any word of where he will be off to? Surely Athlone need to be having a look given their lack of firepower?

Who's that?

Pat Fenlon has been strongly linked to a director of football position at Limerick FC. The former Bohs and Shelbourne manager – who won five League of Ireland titles before being headhunted by Hibs in 2011 – has been out of work since leaving Easter Road last November.

Between that and appointing a club ambassador to Germany last week it's easy to understand why the playing budget was slashed this season...

This snippet from that Indo article -

Karl Sheppard looks certain to move. Dundalk, St Pat's and Sligo Rovers are all interested in the striker, but Rovers will not sell to a title rival. Limerick seem his likeliest destination; Cork City are also contenders for his signature.

Clear some space for City Rebel outrage...........

Why would I be outraged? People have written us off since the start of the season. We more than likely have a smaller budget than the other teams mentioned apart from Limerick.

Elding signed for Ballinamallard today according to LOI Blog.

**Charlie Darwin** · 22/05/2014, 10:58 PM

He still won't be eligible until July though? And where in holy **** do Ballinamallard get their money from?

Strange choice of club for him

**avvenalaf** · 22/05/2014, 11:13 PM

Not so strange - he'll be able to live in Roverstown and do his Fire Brigade thingy in Sligo.

Why any outrage ?
We don't want him anyway.
6 goals since the start of 2012.
Not exactly banging them in is he ?

I think Dundalk should have him

That'll suit Elding as he won't be fit till Aug 2015 anyway

A very well run club, fantastic playing surface (yep they have had it done up again since the setanta cup game), new 4g training pitch beside the main ground and a very strong underage structure.

They must have a fantastic fundraising set up.

I thought that the deep thinkers in Cork (like City Rebel) would be outraged at Cork being dismissed as not being in the category of title rivals to Shamrock Rovers

Karl Sheppard looks certain to move. Dundalk, St Pat's and Sligo Rovers are all interested in the striker, but Rovers will not sell to a title rival. Limerick seem his likeliest destination; Cork City are also contenders for his signature.
