Every Rovers Player Up for Sale

**Dee75** · 30/06/2005, 1:11 PM

Its just been announced on 98fm in Dublin that the every Shamrock Rovers player has been put up for sale. I didn't hear the full report but at the end he repeated that every player is for sale

**Buller** · 30/06/2005, 1:12 PM

Yeah i just heard it myself... although im not too bothered as long as rovers survive...

**EnDai** · 30/06/2005, 1:12 PM

They'll more than likely accept any offers too, even low ones I bet.

**Krstic** · 30/06/2005, 1:23 PM

Only problem is, the good players they had are out of contract, so who will want the rest?????

**Dee75** · 30/06/2005, 1:26 PM

How can Rovers survive if they lose all of their best players and get relegated to Div 1. They will be in serious trouble if they drop out of the Prem Div. I hope it doesn't happen

They'll have to go amateur for a few years and completely restructure. Thing is, if you don't get out of the First Division first time, it can get harder and harder... (just ask Dundalk!)

I disagree. A year of first division wages could be just what they need during their restructuring. At the moment anything is acceptable so long as they stay in business.

Can't see them staying in Dalymount either

Agreed, personally if it meant Rovers staying in business and for the good of the League i would let them use the Carlisle if they REALLY needed to........

I don't think they want to anyway. It depends on the contract they signed with Bohs I suppose.

I'm not sure. I mean argueably it's what they should've done years ago. If they hadn't been playing silly money to players for years Tallaght would already be built. If it takes a few years to get the club straight and properly structured then so be it.

ask dundalk !! ask us sligo rovers fans ! missed out on last day of season to bounce straight back on 1st attempt . at least dundalk won the league that year....and this is now our 6th season in this muck division. it's like quick sand down here

**pineapple stu** · 30/06/2005, 2:24 PM

Was going to mention youz, but yez are doing so well this year and I didn't want to jinx it!

if we are jinxed now, we'll send a mob after you

anyway if shamrock rovers came down to this division they would be ok, they'd be well able to get the ball rolling again and get properly set up. i'd say 2 years here and they'd be sorted. having relegation pressure on ur heads makes people make stupid decisions..usually costly ones. so its no shame to come down, and relaunch a better and strong club.

So will I. I'm looking forward to another trip to Sligo last year (before anyone says it, not after getting relegated!). I could do without more trips to Richmond Park!

**Dee75** · 30/06/2005, 2:39 PM

I'd give it another few weeks before this happens

Felix Healy is sacked as manager of Finn Harps

Roddy Collins is unveiled as new Finn Harps manager

Whats the chances?????

Are you serious

Catch yourself on! Roddy Collins won't ever be manager of Finn Harps!

**EnDai** · 30/06/2005, 3:10 PM

No, but Dolan may be attracted to the Harp Army... with the best fans in the country and all that!

Not a chance. We simply couldn't pay him.

Anyway, Felix Healy is manager of Finn Harps, and in my book will be there for a long time. At the time he was appointed it was said he'd be a long term appointment: he won us the title last year to take us up and I can't see us not staying up. He's doing a grand job.

Rovers are fcuked!
