Rumours of a massive overhaul in Athlone coming soon. Management not happy in the slightest about the effort of most of the players. Most of them don't seem to care in the slightest. Interesting few weeks ahead.

And who's going to pay for this overhaul? Athlone seem to be wasting a lot of money this season between new players and new management. Looking more and more like a sh1t or bust formula.

Well some of the players that are there now, will be gone, so they wont be getting paid naturally. So we can sign new players.

Depends if those players are still under contract if they are and they don't agree to leave they'll have to be paid off but that's probably unlikely. I'd imagine the idea of bringing in new players is to improve the squad and that won't be cheap is all I'm saying.

Not surprised about the overhaul. I heard that athlone asked a few players about a month ago to take a break in wagesfor a few weeks to let the club get Back on track money wise. I reckon the over haul is to cut wages and nothing to do with lack of effort from players.

Can't really say too much, but it is to do with lack of effort.

Only the lads on professional deals would be due compensation. But i agree, it wont be cheap getting in new players. But there are ideas in motion to generate income for the club.

So many rumours but same team for tomorrow, are the injured players recovered?

Bray fans, is Graham Kelly any good?

**greywanderer** · 05/10/2015, 6:31 PM

General yes, but he can hold the ball that bit too long and misses the pass, totally off for semi final. Heard rumours that he wants to go full time football if he gets the chance. .

If someone manages to teach him to release the ball at the correct time he'd be a very good player. Unfortunately he tends to kill attacks by overplaying things

Will fit in perfectly at Pats so

Nah, Bucko will educate him.

On his way to us according to Saintsforum.

Has been one of our better players this season, the midfield has been strong and he has been centre of it. As mentioned, overplays the ball a lot but when he is on his game he is great. Would be sad to see him leave but expect to see a lot going this year!

Kelly is a super player. Not sure he'd do it at a top four club though. Probably not fast enough to be a winger, but only playing centrally for Bray because Casso (who is better than him there) is so good he can play anywhere.
