To be honest I don't expect him to be in the Showgrounds next season. He commuted up and down from Dublin a number of times a week during the season. After we won the league against Pats I was standing outside Mooney's and he was on the road to Dublin 40 minutes after the final whistle [to be honest he could have been going anywhere, but I presume it was Dublin]. I'm not being critical of the guy, how could you he won the league for us, but it's unlikely he'll be with Rovers come March. Good luck to the lad.

If he does sign for us it'll feel a little like winning the league again.

yea you cant be critical of the lad,hes done good for us,good luck to him into the future.lets look forward to hopefully some exciting signings in the showgrounds

I kinda wondering why so many players are suddenly leaving considering why we are League Champions, and playing in the Champions League Qualifying next season.

Are they asking for more money? Also heard that Endo is going for an Assistant Coaching role.

Players aren't really suddenly leaving, it's not much of a shock. We knew McGuinness had a desire to return to Dublin. Quigley has been commuting up and down from Dublin, he wasn't (it appears) all that interested in basing himself in Sligo for any length of time. Should he commit to another season with us it'll be something of a miracle. The rumor was that Rogers was going to tallaght too, but we've held onto him.

Joseph Ndo has designs on being the League's first black manager, he's stated his desire to go into management in the past.

Quigley exit confirmed on RTE. Shams are trying their best to buy the title back.

could that be the reason carr has left or does he have another reason for leaving?

Kinda curious how they earn the extra 90k, is it through sales, team performace, other naming rights?

Delighted with the Umbro deal, it'll be great to see Rovers jerseys on sale throughout the North West and further afield now.

This is great news, on top of the extra money for winning the league and for qualifying for Europe, this'll really help in developing the grounds.

Have you got your season ticket(s) yet?

Just noticed the club shop that was set up in the Quay Side Centre has closed, then seen an update on the facebook page about news coming soon regarding a new one. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be.

I think they are moving some merchandise into the the clothes shop called Seven, just at the entrance to the Quay side.

Hopefully there will be a big crowd to welcome the League Champions. First home game of the pre season friendlies, Finn Harps of Ballyshannon, at 7.45pm.

Hopefully the pre season training in the CIs has paid off.

€10 for adults. €5 for kids.

Finished 1 all. Sligo had most of the possession, and the chances. Pen scored by Ross Gaynor in the second half. Harps scoring with one of their few chances, just shows you only need one.

Young lad called Liam Martin, from the under 19s I beleive, came on late in the second half, looked pretty handy on the ball.

Thanks irish-stew, got updates via twitter after I posted. Terrible game according to our forum. What'd you think?
