Release high earners, sign ones on less money...not rocket science.

Oh and we also held a few housewives to ransom...

how many players were released to balance the books

**MyTown** · 23/07/2009, 10:09 PM

Best of Luck to Michael McGrath. I thought he did well for us & am sorry to see him go.

**Hairy Bowsie** · 23/07/2009, 10:17 PM

Isn't there a Sligo section on this forum?

Oh and the poster who said about selling the drugs to kids, genius stuff

best post i've seen on here in ages.

**Terry** · 24/07/2009, 7:23 AM

Could someone post the list of high earners that were released to balance the books?

P.S. Thanks for the money for McGrath, half decent player, only has about 60minutes in him for some reason, would be a good first division player.

Apparantly Keith Foy wasn't fat after all. He just had his shirt stuffed with money. He gave it to us in exchange for a salad.

Well so far Sean Doherty, Mauro Almedia and Shaun Holmes have been released - how high up the food chain they were I couldn't tell you.

I don't have any inside information whatsoever but I can only assume that having signed close to 10 players in the space of a couple of weeks we must have been too conservative with our budget estimate at the start of the season and that the Management Committee are happy that we will be well inside the 65% rule by the end of the season because it now looks like all a club has to do to avoid relegation is stay within that 65% limit.

Having said all that I'd be very surprised if we handed over any cash for McGrath - or any other player.
