Oisin Hand the first confirmed departure. Gone over the road to Athlone.

And so it begins...

Thats a pity with OH. see on town FB group that AD is linked with a move to Scumlone. Dont understand the logic of it.

Ah jesus, that one would properly sting bad. I guess they have more money than I realised, I know they have no owners or stakeholders but after the season they just had I wasn't expecting to see them sign and be linked to the names mentioned.

I'd be worried we end up having a squad of newbies like we had for the season just gone, and it takes most of the season for them to get comfortable, and by then it would be too late again

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'd guess that this is a distinct possibility.

A lot of people already throwing out the "lack of ambition" and "splash the cash" lines. Look at the state of Dundalk, look at Treaty's books, we simply can't compete without placing the club in jeporady. One thing I would like to know is why we haven't had a shirt sponsors last two seasons and if we are making any attempts to get outside investment (not that we want total headers coming on board either). But with the amount of teams we now have, this is the sad reality. Doran not going to Athlone fwiu btw.
