QuoteInteresting that Rovers have made solid enquiries to Derry about Brian Maher which would involve a big transfer fee, can we assume Mannus not staying another year then or is he being phased out?
You severely underestimate how poor our midfield was this season outside of Devoy and Clarke, both of whom could have won player of the season having only played half a season.Originally Posted by outspoken
Flores can kick a lovely ball. Outside of that he's pretty poor. Levingston has patches of decent play but is poor overall
Doherty played as a defender this year
Coote never got near the heights of last year and didn't even make the squad on a couple of different occasions
McManus has potential but still very young and prone to a rookie error
There were probably others who never saw the pitch or spent more time injured than playing so I didn't bother including them.
If McDonnell can be consistently available and put in 6/10 performances week in week out that's a big improvement on the current lot.

I think the negativity around this is a bit too harsh. McGuinness has spent nearly a decade now working within Soccer - its not like he is just GAA man.
Plus Harps are in the First, its not like he is going to the European Super League. What will the other C.Vs be like that they receive?
I dont know what he is like, if he knows his stuff or not. Thats for the Finn Harps management to decide. But he has paid his dues in the sport to be considered and I definitley would not just write him off because he is well known in another sport.

I struggle to believe this. Derry wouldn't sell to their biggest rivals and its not like they need the money is it?
Come on sbgawa you know full well if a player in our league is tapped up ( sorry approached ) and the money tree waves they’re off, And I care not what the official bull****e is from wofuss, you’re paying by far the biggest wages, three year deals, and every player in this league is going for that.
Anyone who thinks derry would sell maher to rovers needs to go and have a lie down. Not a chance in hell that is true
Some players are going to Rovers to be successful and further their careers. You don't need me to give you a list now do you?
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
I didn’t say Derry accepted ,I don’t know, but I can absolutely guarantee you that early discussions have taken place. Unfortunately it looks like Brian and his agent are in favour of the move but yes he is under contract and we could price him out of it.
I've Michael Duffy on the phone here for you Dermo.
I’d gladly represent young Micheal for a tidy 15%
Isn't Brian Maher on a three year deal with Derry as it stands?
Rovers wanted Duffy by all acoounts but apparantly he is playing for Derry for the love of the game
Spend all the European money on Cotter.
Gaffney went to Bradley for an improved contract, but was told "there's no magic money tree"Rovers wanted Duffy by all acoounts but apparantly he is playing for Derry for the love of the game
His experience in the game is all as a coach and mostly on part time basis, twice he was given manager /head coach roles and don't think he last a year combined in the roles.

Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Are Sligo actually starting back training next week? That's a long pre season.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Paddy Kirk to Bohs confirmed. Some decent business getting done so far. Big clear out still needed the sooner the better though.
Delighted with that signing. A bohemian through and through and a good player to boot. You're right about the clear out though. Do you remember who got multi year deals last year? I can only remember Junior, Flores, Max Murphy and Clarke being multi year deals
