Gamble and Behan effectively took pay cuts. O'Neill isn't going to be one of the most expensive in terms of wages. We had very few players contracted to the club so the signings are coming thick and fast.

Gavin "shels" · 06-12-2008 02:09PM

Kevin Doherty has re-signed for Shels. And talk of Alan Kirby joining us. Would make for two brillaint signings.

That is actually incorrect. He is signing pending a medical. But as he is away this weekend, he cannot do one yet. It will be sorted in the next few days though.

Well we have a wage budget of €7,500 ish, and we were under that. I presume some players have left but nothing has been confirmed.

bohsman · 06-12-2008 07:27PM

Rumour of Robbie Doyle to Shels aswell.

Bray, UCD, Sporting, Bohs, Pats, Dundalk and now (pos.) Shels?

7 clubs and what is he? 28?

I think we have ten players under contract at the moment, more are due to sign. Gamble and Behan both effectively took pay cuts.

pablomakaveli · 06-12-2008 10:44PM

City are only going to have around 16 full time players and the rest part time. That would help reduce the wage budget as you wouldnt have a large panel of full time pros getting paid a grand or two a week. With the pay cuts that the likes of gamble and Behan have taken (which you have to admire them for doing) it could prevent over inflated wage budgets next season.

dreamers75 · 06-12-2008 11:05PM

St Pats likely to offer deals to Paisley Kirby and O Neill (they refused ones with wages lower than they were on). Hope Paisley will be back others wouldnt be too bothered about.

Pats looking to offload Ndo to anyone who will take him only 4 countries he can go to in EU unlikely rovers can afford his 1200 a week wages plus car.

this better not happen

I hate him. A lot.

Slash/ED · 07-12-2008 03:24AM

I think Doyle is funny, but I can't see how we could compete with Fingals wages, and it'd worry me if we were trying...

Slash/ED · 07-12-2008 03:36AM

I've always found something hilarious about him, though, even back in his Bohs days, he's like someone taking the píss out of a footballer, but somehow ended up on a real team.

Wouldn't like to see us sign him though, for financial reasons and also he just isn't reliable and can't see him and Flood working at all, if we hang onto Flood. If we're going to make big signings up front isn't where I'd like to see the money invested anyway.

_blank_ · 07-12-2008 03:40AM

Bisto is staying.

Which is brilliant news.

We aren't competing with fingals wages, most of their players were on wages that weren't for football, I reckon most of the "jobs" their players were doing disappeared with the recession.

Sure, there's talk of them playing in tolka next season.

gimmick · 07-12-2008 02:06PM

Shane Robinson to City?

Going to be an interesting week.

Lamper.sffc · 07-12-2008 02:19PM

I really hope doyle goes to shels. Marriage made in heaven methinks:P

Seriously though. The worst attitude i have ever seen in a player.

I presume the Hynes above is peter hynes. If so, not happy with that.

Really? Wouln't be such a bad thing with losing the Rovers rent.

Bateman · 08-12-2008 12:30AM

Maybe Robbie Doyle has smartened up his act, who knows? Few of us will have seen much Fingal last season. Although he still hangs around the Martello in Bray drinking and smoking from what I hear, so it's doubtful if his attitude is any different to what it used to be.

Lamper.sffc · 08-12-2008 03:43AM

Believe me. His attitude is still bad. A lot of our fans disliked him despite the goals.

I wasn't sorry to see Kirby leave Pats, but he'd be a great signing for a 1st Division side. Having said that, I'd be surprised if he's prepared to drop a division - I'd imagine there'd be a couple of Premier Division sides who'd be happy to have him.

Sean Connor has been named Dundalk Fc Manager , Great appointment bring on 2009.
