What the hell is he on about there???? If you don't want clubs approaching your players then ensure they sign new contracts as they can only be approached in last 6 months of their contracts!! Some players have to make a living through so its obvious they'll explore their options to ensure they have a job at the end of the season.“But if a player said he wanted to leave then Shamrock Rovers is one of the clubs I would suggest to him.
“There has been a lot of publicity this week about Carlisle United and their manager Roddy Collins wanting to sign Irish players. It is a disgrace that players can be approached before the end of the season.
“It unsettles and distracts them. I would counsel any player to keep his options open. He might be impressed at what a manager tells him now, but what guarantee is there that the manager might not be gone before the ink on the contract is dry?”
