Whats the financial situation like at Rovers!?

I'd be shocked if Kenna signed on anything less than 1k a week. Could be wrong tho...

What are his options really? They're not clamouring for him across the water and the days of players being able to dictate their terms to clubs here is long gone. If Kenna goes to Rovers looking for 1k a week, and they say you can have €600, what else can he do?

Stay at Pats

It would sicken me to see any of the Pat's players sign for Shams, just sicken me. Especially Kenna, the best centre back in the league, imo. Classy player!

Like Maguire?

I'd take Kilduff back in a heartbeat and he left us for understandable reasons and on good terms.

Not a transfer rumour but there was a meeting of clubs on the 18th where a 16-team premier division and return to winter football were discussed.

Supposedly the majority were in favour of both although there was no official vote. I'd be for the 16 team premier but i think a return to winter football would be a ridiculous decision.

I would be for it, and please dont give us that euro ****e. That happened cos our players were full time/Euro Bonuses nowt to do with Summer Soccer.

If we had winter soccer last year think of the number of games that would have been cancelled.

Also at least with summer soccer we have a couple of months where the league isnt competing with the football across the water.

Theres more benefits to summer soccer than just the european matches.

In any case any decision for changes rest with the FAI.

Winter football would be a massive, massive backwards step for the league. Who the hell wants to stand on a cold, wet, delapadated and crumbling terrace in the middle of January?

AFAIK both have a year left on their contract.

Or any Winter, there would be no-hopers

Tallaght (Frozen Pitch)
Ballybofey (Too cloudy)
Galway (Waterlogged)
Showgrounds (Waterlogged)
Longford (Waterlogged)

Harps might as well pull out of the league once and for all with Winter Football, there'd never play a game at home.

Not all players. Some players have the option of another year on their contract. Bohs have said to them to leave and for those who have their contract up in the winter. They have been told it won't be renewed.
