Grimes has now resigned for Drogs
Could certainly be true. Sounds like we aren't re-signing him anyways.Originally Posted by sheao
Hearing this morning it's confirmed - Dave Barry will be getting the horn. I'm probably in the minority in Sligo but I'm pleased. He had a great season when we won the league, then re-signed without telling the club he'd picked up an injury while trialling in England (do all clubs insist on medicals for returning players? I don't know) and barely played this year. He had a very good game in the Cup semi against Shams, and was then awful in the final. He's very popular with the fans due to his blood and thunder style and could do a job for City as a holding midfielder. You want to be sure you have someone else on playmaking duties though - when Danny occasionally decides he's Iniesta, bad things happen.
Apart from the cup final he was excellent once he got back into the team towards the end of the season. Never his biggest fan in the past (when the Forza boys were giving him player of the year cause he came over and clapped them at the end of games.....) but he'll be a big loss as he was certainly a better option there then Conneely or Cawley. Not overly disappointed to see Lynch or Elding leave but I think he'll be a big loss as I think we play much better when he's sitting there. He was also the club captain.
As with Elding, I'd regard him as a loss but would hope that if we have designs on regaining the title we'd be able to do better - same would go for Davoren. The usual suspects are running around with their hair on fire, but there's been loud predictions of doom following every borderline significant development in the club over the past five years, and I don't think we've done too badly.

Ventre is a played who always looked good whenever I saw him play for Sligo, be great to have him on board.
Heard also that Kalen Spillane could be heading up to Sligo ? He is currently on the PFAI transfer list.
Danny could do well for you. He might be more motivated at a new club - I got the feeling he was getting a little too comfortable. I heard the rumour about Spillane as well - how do you rate him?
Great player, technically, fitness, speed, ability, could be excellent .... But man he needs to sort his attitude out. If he gets his head sorted out then he could be one of the best in the league. He clearly didn't get on with Tommy Dunne but that went both ways. New manager could see a huge difference, which is why its a pity he is gone from us now that we have Johnny C. Best of luck to the lad, a change of scene could be exactly what he needs.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
That sounds ok. Quigley, by his own on-the-record admission, had decided midway through 2012 that he didn't want to play for us any more. Bara got him into the office, made it clear he wasn't leaving and what was expected of him, and for the remainder of the season he was unstoppable. Hopefully if we get Spillane the change of scenery might bring out the best in him.
As Spillane is Under 23 a fee would likely be required for him to move to Sligo (or an agreement). We've traditionally been very on the ball when it comes to our due diligence as regards these transfers, though of course it's possible we've messed up this time around, or even decided we didn't want him.
Fabio signed a new contract at Drogheda today.

Big signing.
I expected our squad to disintegrate but it's not happening. If Horgan keeps this up, I think most will be more than happy.
He was always a great player, you were obviously just slow in realising it. Big big mistake by Rovers not re-signing him...unless it's because of something like his injury has a high risk of re-occurring that we, as supporters, don't know about.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
For the lad's own sake, I hope so. He has incredible potential but it seems to be going to waste at the minute.
Very talented technically, but shocking in terms of positioning so will need an old head next to him guiding him to improve there.
2014 Sligo Rovers season tickets go on sale today as Evan McMillan and Aaron Greene extend their contracts with the club.
David McMillan rumoured to be coming our way. Any word in Sligo about this?
Heard it myself White Horse. Would be a big signing for Dundalk.

There's been very little spoken about him to be honest. It's like he's a forgotten man. Being cup-tied certainly played against him during the season as he wasn't getting much chances towards the end of the season. Didn't really shine with us mind but would certainly keep him on if possible
