    According to today's Independent, Raf has been offered a deal by Pats, but Cook is confident he'll stay. It goes on to say that we're close to agreeing deals with Owen Morrison and Parkhouse.

    They deserve it.
    Not only did they finish below rovers
    They were not paid
    But they left rovers as they wanted to play at a higher level!!!

    Hit the start of this thread by mistake and there are some gems in there from this time last year.

    Is there any update on Coleman since he was linked to Celtic ?.

    Doe's anyone think we should try and sign Davin O' Neill from Cobh ? he's a very good striker, he scored 8 goals for Cobh this season and i'm sure he'd love more premier league football.
    Coleman for Ireland

    Im not on here to wind anyone up lads but are ye living in the real world. Rumors coming out of all clubs is cutbacks of anything between 30% to 50% minimum and ye are talking of signing 5 to 6 players.

    We have slashed our budget going nearly completely part time with contract based on appearence & big bonuses with very small basic wages. We reckon we could lose 5/6 players and be mainly locally based.

    How are Sligo going to finance the expenditure ye are talking about here.We already have 3 sponsorship deals done plus a very exciting teamwear deal with Elverys and are selling season tickets already at much reduced prices http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/tickets...ckets-09.htmlh .

    We also hope to finalise Jay O'Sheas transfer to Derby this week but are still only going to have a playing Budget of less than €350k for this season.

    Thanks for the concern you are showing towards our club.
    And also a big thank you for the update on the galway fiancial situation.
    We'll be fine dont worry about us.

    (Most of the O'Shea money will go towards servicing debt, no?)

    Have to say I would agree with this. We would be doing well to hold on to the spine of our team. The notion of sustaining anything more than this in terms of getting in some "big names" and paying big wages is unrealistic. Does European competition really yield much cash for a LoI club?

    Just have to hope that fringe players can step up to the plate when needed next season with the extra games in store.And hope that Cook stays on to consolidate his reputation. That, with a bit of luck could see us challenge for fourth spot again and hopefully a decent cup run.

    Not too sure, but since this is our first time in European football in 12 years, i'm sure we will do well on the gate.

    We may lose 1 or 2 players but hopefully hold onto the rest!!

    We would hope to have a better income this year than last year and so would do well to bring in 2 or 3 QUALITY additions to the squad, no major extra outlay and finish the season with 3 but probably 2 trophies (i reckon we will have to make do with winning the league and the setanta cup as i doubt we will go all the way in the EUROPA cup but quarters at least) and in a financial break even situation!

    Liam Burns and a few other bohs players are free agents at the moment as bohs unlikely to be in a position to offer new contracts , would be a good signing as we lack cover for Mauro and Peers.
