They weren't here last season. They're probably from Gort!

That makes no sense. How does us paying a fee for the man mean we are being underhand?

More infantile gibberish.

One more defender, hold onto Mannus and we will gallop this league

Hopefully Chambers too.

At least Chambers and Rice can play at right-full but would love more cover elsewhere.

Chambers is back in training, so I assume will stay, although if Charlie Grant comes in I can't see him getting much game time. For a young lad he shouldn't have the question marks over his fitness.

We need another centre half as a priority though.

That Jamaican keeper has his work permit for Rovers now. Jennings is out of contract, so I assume will be released. Pity, because we never saw what he could do.

Jamacian winger in on trial, presumably to balance Stewart leaving. From the sounds of it, he has made a very good impression.

Happy enough with Ricer, Chambers, Turner and O Donnell competing for two (or three) berths in the middle.

Hard to see the FAI bailing them out again. What a shocking position for them to be in post-examinership. I thought they'd turn things around unlike what happened in Cork.

His wish to join Shels? LOL. The choice was totally his. He was released back when the season ended.

Drogheda need 200k by the end of the month. I have no idea how they can raise that money.

I pity the supporters and players, but the organisation need to take responsibility for the mess.

I'm still baffled at how they managed to rack up such an amount of debt in just over 2 years. It's not like they've to pay for repairs to the ground, they probably charge to use that car park for people going to the hospital, etc... Can see them going down the route of Cork, winding up Drogheda Utd and then setting up a fans' run club.

He said he wanted to come back to Shels, but afaik we didn't offer him a contract.

Only way Drogheda are trying to raise that money it seems is through that Claret and Blue club thing.

No idea what he's like but heard he's pretty decent too. Sounds like a good bit of business for either club to get him. Another striker and some cover in defence (left full/centre half) is definitely needed.

Roll on the fudge:

The urgency of the matter comes into focus because under FAI licencing regulations, League of Ireland clubs must have "a firm commitment of €200,000" and this is required before the January 31st deadline.

I’m guessing their problems are a hangover from that period – problems that needed to be address obviously were not. That said, I’m by no means an expert on the examinership process, but like yourself, I see no other explanation for such a colossal debt.

As far as I know the current owners have agreed to sell the club for a nominal fee of €1. And then try and raise €180,000 by selling 180 shares for €1000 each to supporters. Each share would entitle you to one vote on club matters.

Have to agree here and I've said as much to a few threads on the rovers forum. Every player that doesn't come to us is apparently an idiot that has no ambition and any player who wants out is clearly mentally retarded.

Stewart maybe just hasn't settled. I know he had his issues when he moved down, particularly with the other half so it could be a case that he just wants to move back north or he has done what he wanted with Rovers.

stovelid

Have met Tommy and seems like a sound lad. He's a decent player with a knack of getting important goals but I don't think he's good enough to beg to stay or anything like that. If any of these mooted wide/forward players come to fruition, I think we should be OK. Again, it's defence that in need iof bodies.

Agree too that while it would seem natural to opt for the current title holders/champions league, it's not always as straighforward as that and more power to him as long as he doesn't dick us around about it.

Watched UCD a fair bit last year and Bolger was their stand out player for me. Quality signing for Fingal IMO, although he does seem to get sent off a fair bit, I think...

Dundalk couldn't match the wage being offered by Fingal. Quality signing by them and good replacement for Williams if he makes his expected move across the water. Fingal will be very strong again next year
