Derby have decided not to offer Jeff Kenna, Pablo Mills and Kevin Poole fresh deals at Pride Park when their contracts expire in the summer. More
Wonder will he do a Curtis Flemming on it and come back and play in the eL for a season or two ? Wonder would any clubs be interested in signing him ?

Palmerstown Rangers have agreed terms
Heard he was a 100% Hoop all his life myself.Originally Posted by Dodge
Saw a piece on him on tv, when he was with Birmingham. He has property in Spain and is passionate about golf, and as soon as his career in England is over, he intended moving lock, stock and barrell to Spain.
Always look on the bright side of life
If the powers that be in the league were more organised they would be trying to get people back into the fold over here, beyond playing careers, coaching etc. Alot of players just slip through the net and their experience with them. Crying shame.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Most of them are too settled in England by then. Same language, similar culture, proximity to home, very easy to settle there and not bother returning.
eh no, he's not good enough...Palmerstown Rangers have agreed terms
cant see Jeff coming back to Ireland too quickly.
As said above he's pretty well set up for moving to Spain and doesnt "need" to play footie anymore
No reason not to try, fair enough when there is young kids and all that but do some of them know that its even an option ??
Has to be said .... no where near enough work being done on that.

Maybe Devlin could get him back seen as he's his agent oops sorry "ADVISOR"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Why would Devlin want to sign him ? He does'nt manage a club side any more
They need him after our 4-1 trashing of them
Never said he could sign him said maybe he could get him back to EL in his role as his agent oops sorry "ADVISOR" he make a few peanuts out of for himself!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know how long these players have been over there ??

An alleged 37 or so irish players most who played with Irish youths will be released in the next few days from english clubs, no better shop window than a league thats up and running.
Should be a full list in the next few days.

No offence A Face, but a lot of players are selfish individuals and do not see any need to "give something back" to the game.
We are now in a generation of players where players who have done well and reached the end of their career, if they have made any sensible investment, don't need to look for another job.
I can see you point regarding experience, but why should we go out of the way to bring back ex-players when we have plenty of coaches who are much more qualified than players?
Anyone hear the Richie Partridge to Bohs yarn?
Can't see it myself seeing as he's shacked up with Michael Owen's sister
Going back to players ending their careers in Ireland. It worked before with Bobby Charlton, Johnny Giles and others etc etc, maybe clubs should look into this option, bring good talent and experience to those younger players around them, offering advice.
May be interesting!

Its May 19th .... not long past since April 3rd .... maybe it might not be very interesting for Shels !!
