The answer to the original question is no, he hasn’t. That’s why we employ him (still) as a coach, not manager.

The narkiness is burrowing deep! Will be all the more fun...

Seems a long way to come to put a flag up, unless whoever did it was en route to Sainsburys in Newry for a bit of early xmas shopping !

I'd say a few players will move between the clubs ok, but in the other direction...........

Waterford are challenging the validity of clauses in St Pats players contracts and considering a judicial review, with a points deduction possible they could escape relegation, Pats staff and players will use relegation release clauses (exempt from review) so all sorted for Dundalk and then its just Bohs between Dundalk and Europe....as far as some of the rumours go this would be one of the more realistic ones!!!

Delighted with this news

Great bit of business for Harps. He's been excellent two seasons in a row and will certainly have had offers from elsewhere.

We're certain to lose a few bodies but keeping the majority of last season's squad and building on it going into 2022 is important if we're to compete with a lot of sides spending a lot more than we are capable of.

What clauses would these be ? And what is the Judicial a review based on ? Or is this just happening in your head ?

It's hard to tell with the LoI at times

The bigger issue is that animal SOD gave no regard to Christmas. I just got a text from a friend in new jersey that got a laugh from receiving my St Pats SOD official Christmas card. The man is a monster.

Well its made up, but what isnt funny is how almost anything can be said, believed, joins the rumour mill, and becomes 'factual' - all from a reliable source of course! If if it had been less (or even more) outrageous and Id stuck 'fact' at the end it would have undoubtedly ended up on someone's twitter.

But it is LoI and it is a mash up of real different LoI events in to one so maybe any confusion is par for the course and probably shouldnt over roll the eyes.

The Sun newspaper has made millions from that.

**Nesta99** · 05/12/2021, 4:54 PM

I should have started with 'a reliable source close to to the clubs' and it could have made tomorrows back page...

And the likes of Trump, Boris the Healy Raes and SF to cite a few have been elected using the same approach

Dylan Grimes to Drogheda. Very happy with that. Stood out for Longford last season. Bring Dervin along with you and a few resignings and we should have a decent chance of staying up. All we can really ask for as looking like 7 of 10 teams going full time next season.

Good luck to him, good player. In other news, Gary Cronin confirmed as Town manager. A more realistic appointment than Vinny Perth ever was anyway. He knows the club well anyway from all his years as a coach.
