Declan 'Fabio' O'Brien On Way Out of Dundalk

**randomcomment** · 27/04/2009, 9:29 AM

According to The Star, Fabio is on his way out after a massive bust up with Sean Connor.

I was told of his unhappiness up there some time ago and it was a matter of when rather than if he was leaving.

And just to back up my claim, I was advised by a current LOI player.

What's the root of his unhappiness? If what you're saying is true (I don't doubt you), then he has been unhappy before the last two games where he was a sub

**Mr A** · 27/04/2009, 9:43 AM

I heard that there was a 'misunderstanding' following them having lunch together.

**gustavo** · 27/04/2009, 9:45 AM

It's not like Sean Connor to have a bust up with a player so I'm confused.

**Rusty** · 27/04/2009, 10:22 AM

Would be shocked if he leaves them, despite his reported unhappiness. If he leaves them who is gonna give him full time football, never mind match his wages?

Hope they sack him and pats sign him...

**Schumi** · 27/04/2009, 10:30 AM

Would he have to wait until the transfer window to get a new club?

**The Lilywhites** · 27/04/2009, 10:31 AM

Yep he would.

**Dodge** · 27/04/2009, 10:32 AM

Nope, players who are out of contract can sign for anyone at any stage

**The Lilywhites** · 27/04/2009, 10:34 AM

Anto Flood was sacked by Dundalk in May '07. Went to Shels shortly after but couldn't play for them until July 1st.

**Dodge** · 27/04/2009, 10:35 AM

Depends on whether his contract was terminated or not.

**randomcomment** · 27/04/2009, 10:39 AM

It doesn't matter about his contract. Once you register with a club you are tied to them until the next transfer window. Registrations are between the FAI, the player and the club. Contracts are only between the player and the club.

**galwayhoop** · 27/04/2009, 10:48 AM

yep. can only play if he was out of contract prior to the closing of the window. otherwise i'm sure there would be loads of 'convenient' sackings of players and then them signing for another club!!

Don't know his circumstances, but the three club rule could have affected him too. If you're sacked, you're a free agent, and free agents can sign outside the transfer window is my understanding.

And so it begins...

not if you were sacked after the transfer window closed.
only players who were free agents (unsigned, sacked or mutually cancelled contract) prior to the 23rd feb can sign outside the transfer window.
he won't be able to play with another club in the LoI until 1st July

Regardless if you are under contract or not, once you register for a club you CANNOT leave that club until the next transfer window. It doesn't matter if the contract is cancelled mutually, bought out, ripped up or burned.

That makes sense alright

**pineapple stu** · 27/04/2009, 11:50 AM

How much would it cost to pay up the "sackings" though?

What happens if a player's contract is cancelled by mutual consent; can he move outside the window then?
