Let's hope so eh.

I dont agree they didnt want to come to rovers , they could have stayed at dundalk if they wanted to. The 12 month contract issue wouldnt have been an issue for either as does anyone believe theybwouldnt gat a club at the end of next season if dundalk decided not to go again. The reason they left os likely to be because of the lack of respect involved in offering such short contracts as well as a general happiness to play for Rovers. Most pros are happy to play where they are respected and feel they can win things.
Brian Murphy is the first player to sign for Waterford’s 2021 squad.
Didn't realise Galway were going to a full time set up next year. Looks like it's going to be themselves and Shels fighting it out given Cork's travails.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
It seems a bit of a risk releasing both keepers without a backup plan in place. Even if Kearns is only a reserve, he's more than Pats have now.
Yeah, will be impossible to replace what is going out, but Long has done well in the past so will be interesting to see what he conjures up. As for the out goings...
Grant -irreplaceable, a hammer blow.
Lunney - he never convinced me last year, Levingston re-signed, so no problem there
Mandroiu - did nothing all year, was outperformed by Ward and Devoy, looked more likely to get a red card than a goal when we did see him. No real loss but will be made out to be a big deal because of who he signed for.
Kirk- wasn’t getting his game, good luck in Longford, he will do well for them.
Corcoran- A great servant who is the wrong side of 30 and injuries catching up. A high earner, not surprised he’s been moved on, could be a steal for Drogheda.
Wright - will be very tough to replace if he stays in England, not sure who we have up front at the moment!
Lyons- Massive loss, very polished player
Twardek- Another huge blow, no surprise our form dropped off when he left.
Casey- potentiality out the door too. Got a few centre halfs signed so not the end of the world.
So a big overhaul needed in a relatively short time, we’ll be doing well to finish top 3 at the moment, but it’s still early days.
Tyreke Wilson is a quality addition to the squad, but much more needed.
Kevin Sheedy and Mike Newell coming in has got the fans interested again. Fans were getting frustrated at usual end of season uncertainty and lack of signings so good move by the club. Lee Power certainly knows how to pull a rabbit from the hat whatever else people may think of him.
Anything to the rumour Ronan Finn is leaving Rovers?
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Not a chance
he's welcome back in oriel anytime! he could be joining st pats as part of his retirement!
See Danny OReilly has left shels to go to Drogheda. Would have loved to have seen him back with us.Ah well.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Didn't play much at Shels last year but Morris got nothing out of a talented squad so won't read too much into that. Was Harps POTY the previous year which is more encouraging. Squads nearly finished now bar a backup GK and maybe one more outfield player. Great to get the business done so early.
