A winter of uncertainty looms for most clubs and players with about 90% of players out of contract
Dundalk will most likely be full time or mainly full time next season with the budget being described today as "slightly less then this season" (i.e. close to the current €9k - which will probably have equal buying power in a depressed player market)

This was speculated on in local media recently, but I think this is a total red herring for the reasons stated above about the budget. His departure has nothing to do with the budget.
