QuoteGalway will be working with the Players employers who are in jobs to see if their training schedule and rest days can be worked into the players current working contract.
This happened when Don O'Riordan was manager before and it worked very well.
Macy, gross pay has to be the basis -as players are entitled to tax back then the rate of tax they pay is of no relevance to the club. Problem is the amount a full time players needs to be paid to compensate for the lack of security and the lost wage from working. A guy earning 25k pa plus a part time wage of 20k pa playing football would surely want at least 50k to even consider it. Run right, an average full time club will cost double the best of the part time clubs. I still can't see where 6 or 7 clubs can generate 1.5 pa

At the moment most player contracts are done on a net pay basis. They negotiate for €500 a week net, and then the club has to pay the tax on top of that, be that at 20% or 42%. Hence we had all (what turned out to be evasion) schemes to do with expenses exposed when Rovers went into examinership. Thankfully clubs are starting to get away from this ridiculous position, despite opposition from the PFAI.Originally Posted by Ronnie
Yeah, that's what I was getting at in the second part. However, it is still possible with younger, inexperienced players. Afterall, League 2 (Division 4) and Conference teams pay full time players much less than the full time wages we pay.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Bahumbug!
They'll still be working at other jobs while full-time footballers?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Rosenborg players do the same. But employers over there are more friendly towards their league. IMO the only way forward as this league cannot sustain full time football.They'll still be working at other jobs while full-time footballers?
KOH
The theory is to be a full time fotballer and part time worker. Similar to most Irish athletes etc

Rosenborg players dont do the same. Rosenborg players are all full time with no other job. When we were there in 2003 we were givena tour around the stadium, training facilities etc and they explained to us that some clubs in Norway do operate that sort of scheme but Rosenborg havent done so since the mid 90's
Didn't Pats try this under Collins?

Aye, still do for certain players AFAIK. Problem with the Collins experiment was that he let go perfectly capable players who wouldn't got full time and replaced them with rubbish full timers. The theory is sound enough

Derry has been doing that the last two years.They'll still be working at other jobs while full-time footballers?
That will only be possible for players working in the Galway area mainly what ever locals are playing there at present, anyone else they get in I think would be on full time contracts. This is how it worked at Sligo the part-timers (the locals) trained at night and the boys who were on full time contracts had a session in the morning and then again at night. Since Rovers entered the LOI in the thirties, the club has always had full time pros from England and Scotland and this has more or less continued to the very day.
About to change next season, with the new manager adopting a strictly full time option with training in the morning and afternoon though losing out on local players like Mc Namara and O Grady who were unwilling to give up their jobs.
It is the only way it will work for us.Sligo have let go players this season without thinking through how they will get replacements.
Well that is down to McDonald he has his own ideas, if he is successfull is another thing.
Please explain how you came up with this gem of information!!!!
We have a budget for players you know. We also have a new manager in who has his own ideas of the type of player he wants. He has explained to the public in great detail on this weeks local paper, the reason each player has left or was released.
He has a very good idea of getting replacements, including one from Galway.
I havn't got a link, but look up the Sligo Weekender for more details.
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
eh cough cough
Now that the league is being rin by Fran Gavin - beware, ALL players wil lahve the new standard contract.
hope it doesn't go belly up on Galway, seems like a very big step to take very quickly though.
Foot.ie's entire existence is predicated on the average idiot's inability to ignore other idiots
Not Rosenborg? Well knew it was some Norwegian clubs that do it. You were there in 2003? Fair play.
KOH
The 4.55 train on Fridays, no messing pending, gets in at 7.15 or so - perfect. You can even walk to the ground with that much time.
Our budget is e1.1m, which really in this day and age isn't a huge amount of money.
Does that have pay as net or gross? I don't think that was answered on the previous thread on the new contracts.
