Molloy and Keegan offered deals by motherwell.

Scottish side snap up Pat's pair
Saturday December 16th 2006

ST PATRICK'S ATHLETIC duo Trevor Molloy and Paul Keegan are believed to be on the verge of landing 18-month contracts with Scottish Premier League side Motherwell.

The experienced front men were on trial with the SPL side this week after their domestic season ended with a 4-3 defeat to Derry City in the FAI Cup Final.

Keegan is expected to move to Scotland anyway to live with his partner, but a move at this stage of Molloy's career would be a surprise, despite a resurgence of form this season upon his return to St Pat's.

Motherwell boss Maurice Malpas has raided the eircom League in recent weeks with Cork City defender Danny Murphy to join the club in January.

Shelbourne midfielder Richie Baker also spent time there, but they were unable to come to an agreement.

However, Malpas is looking to tie up negotiations with Keegan (33) and Molloy (29) after confirming both trialists had impressed.

"They have done well and we will be sitting down with their agents in the next few days," said Malpas.

"One of them is not far away and we hope to have that sorted out over the weekend, and the other may take a wee while longer but we will hope to have both signed next week."

Armstrong released so we ehh have no strikers

Conor O Grady of Sligo will be a great addition to any non full time team. Always had a lot of time for him when he was at City.

But hes never going to leave Shels for some ****e club like pats now is he ?

Ryan /Clarke
Rogers Brennan Foley Frost /Quigley1 Maguire. Rogers is they dirty big bastid we need at the back.

Kirby Ndo Foley Mulcahy? O Connor /Quigley2 Murphy Fahey Leister Fitzpatrick. Ndo the bit of creativity we need to open teams up more. Mulcahy still not signed getting worried Cork want him.

O Neill /Rooney hmmm could do with another, think we getting Hynes.

Grogan gone to some doctor in Belgium to get his groin sorted so possible returnee.

Not a bad team tbh if fit.

Einstürzende Whats your team looking like ? Xavi6 and Joesoap could do a job there tbh, if you can afford the transfer fees

I have to say i dont know a whole lot about o keeffe but we trust doolo and the other signing are fantastic and in just the positions we need them.

Ndo is a great signing for the Saints

Motherwell complete EL swoop.

Left-back Danny Murphy, 23, has signed from Cork City until 2009.

Striker Trevor Molloy, 30, and midfielder Paul Keegan, 33, have both joined from St Patrick's Athletic on 18-month contracts.

Reports suggest that the deal for Molloy could eventually earn St Pat's up to £100,000.

Lol we sold him twice

Nope we dont get that money straight away, we get little bits and a game vs them where we keep the gate (guess we got a game in europe after all). O Neill wants 1k net a week and is waiting to see if Shels can offer/guarantee that. Is he worth it?

Ollie Byrne to stand down as new investor wants control and doesnt want ollie anywhere near money? Sun has an article about it today.

Probably not, they have some pretty shocking new ticket prices

Season ticket prices
Stand
Adult €215 - now €290 - 33% increase

Ground
Adult €140 - now €215 - 50% increase

Prices for child season ticket more than doubled

Prices are being increased to €20 per game

In a word, yes. He will be the best striker in the LoISuperPremiership in two years.

Have Cork offered Mulcahy a contract yet? Pats really only care if he signs. Player of the season for us but wants to go to Cork and Cork want him but no deal yet and hasnt signed the one we offered, hopefully the signings we making convince him to stay.

Haven't heard.

Would love him in a City shirt. It would give Gamble a new lease of life with Mulcahy holding.

So the longer the unrest in Cork goes on the better for us, same with Rovers the longer Thomas Davis keep the ground in court and win the better it is for us, and same for Shels longer they ****ed the better it is for our squad.

happy times !!!!

How many more times, Danny Murphy said himself that City made him a very good offer, but he refused as he wanted a new challenge elsewhere. But then, facts dont matter, when they get in the way of a good old fashioned swipe at the club, do they? :rolleyes:

So, you are saying that what is going on with the club is positive.

I am not alone in what I am thinking. There are too many **** ups happening in recent times.

I'm saying it because I care. I was at the 1st FORAS meeting and am waiting for it to start, I am a season ticket holder, and in case you hadn't noticed the club is not been run properly.

Are you happy with the present management?

There is a medal in the post for you. I hope you get it.

I, like most City fans, am not exactly delighted with the happenings of the moment. I would prefer if there was a big well of cash that we could go out and spend spend spend. But i would way prefer to tighten our belts if it means a secure future for the club.

The gtransfer window will tell alot,

The FORAS and season tickets were in reference to a post a few weeks ago!!!;)

Doesn't have to mean tightning of belts, maybe better business practices.

Lennox has LOST HIS OWN MONEY running Cork, I hope for the sake of cúnts who don't understand the sacrifice involved, that he pulls out and they go belly up like all their previous incarnations, would serve their blow-in army right. :mad:

Thats your reality.:rolleyes:

In Cork the positions aren't even advertised.:mad: And when they are the person is sacked if they start to ruffle a few feathers.

Our general manager was sacked the week before Christmas. Derek Kiely was more qualified than anybody to work in the position he was given. He has worked with Choras and Setanta and is a City fan. As soon as he took over he started communicating the inner activities of the club. Nothing major, general things that concerned the fans. Now, hes gone.

The only professional people at the club are the players and the manager.

Can I ask you one thing, and sorry for seeming like I am just criticising your posts for the sake of it, but what did Derek IKiely actually do while in the position of commercial manager? A table quiz - great. A small sponsorship deal with Lesiureworld - great. What else? Nothing. The last home game of the season was not sponsored, nor was the ball. Information wasnt given as freely as people said. Sure, he organised the rebel army xmas do in the Silversprings, but he forgot to advertise it, only 38 people turned up, and to compund it, he forgot to bring a float. Smacks of amatuerism to me. He talked a good fight, but did not deliver anything of note in the 7 months he was around. With regard to his being let go on Christmas week, well, yes, the timing was pretty awful, but business is business.

The new commercial manager is being introduced this week as far as I know, and he has more experience than Kiely, or indeed anyone in the league at present.

Sean Dillon has left Shelbourne for Dundee for an undisclosed fee.

Töpher

SPL clubs going mad with EL players at the moment. Motherwell signed 3 (including the strikeforce of the club that finished 7th, ooooh!), Dundee sign Sean, and rumours of a few more interested in some more Shels players. Would have done anything to keep Sean here!

On an equally sad note, that brings and end to the best football song ever, bar none.

Tank Top Fever!

what was the song involving Dillon?

Also can a Cork City fan explain to me why there is so much infighting constantly going on between you lot?

And the longer the O'Neill to the Saints saga goes on the more worried I am
