Mad. Would have thought he was older.

He was around with that underage team of Duff & Keane.

Another one of those Dub players that played with all the big 4 clubs.

Speaking off...... we sold him for 50k to Bohs and got a young striker by the name of Jamie Harris off them as part of the deal. He played quite well for Glebe North last night vs Pats.

You only got that young striker Harris because youse didn't want the other ginger striker we were trying to offload instead.

Indeed, we have 18 players and Shels have 23 or so and signing more and we the ones with issues.

O Flynn misses more games than he plays.

23? Are you locked? We have 14 officially announced who've signed, 4 others who've signed but not announced and a few training with us. Bare in mind half of our officially announced players are on pittance, few on average wage and then a handful taking up the bulk of the budget.

Our squad is smaller than last season iirc, and last year we kept to our 5,000-5,500 budget afaik. Only players who'd be on more this season that last season would be Hughes, Conan Byrne and Dawson as their deals had to be bettered as Pats offered them 3 contracts. Bur sure they're only on €301 each, just enough to outbid Pats. :rolleyes:

It's 19,000 for league affiliation last season, the bottom placed team got 5,000 in prize money as opposed to the 40,000 the previous season.

When did it increase from €15,000? :eek:

You can't count, I posted 22. :P

Ryan Markey signed for the under 19's so won't be on a wage.
Paul Byrne and Stephen Hurley won't be on much.
Seems Philly Gorman won't be signing and is just training with us, if he does sign it will be on a pay as you play contract I'd say.
Whoever our sub keeper is they'll will be on very little.

We signed another full-back, Kerrea Gilbert.

Couldn't get a visa to play MLS for Portland last season but they were very keen to have him on board so if he's still at that level he'll be a strong signing for Rovers.

Longford was the first team, Bluebell was the younger lads and only one or two first teamers.

Yea, seems to be 24 or so in the squad along with a few trialists tonight, very few getting paid more than expenses though and would say plenty will still play most of their matches for the u19s.

Foot is right. My information was received with ten mins remaining.

Ricketts goal against Derry.

If we had lost the game, the league would have been in Derrys hands if they won their remaining games iirc

Are Ricketts and Paterson staying on for this season?

Omackeral

Both Ricketts and Patterson are gone. Brief but successful stints ya could argue, including a Europa League run... I especially liked the look of Jim Patterson. I think Rovers will be fine though, few good signings made

dreamers75

Paterson signed for someone in england.

stovelid

Peterson signed for one of the teams in Bristol, unfortunately imo. He would have stayed with us but wasn't offered a contract.

Ricketts gone too. Don't think he has a club.

Heard he turned down some club in Asia even though he'd have been earning ten times as much as their current highest paid player.

cost of running sligo rovers was 750k last year. some well broken down figures here. Vincent Nally will also be a loss to them as he steps down as treasurer. did a great job by the sounds of things.

and on Finn Harps, we have added Darragh Healy from sligo to bring the panel to 15; Ciaran Gallagher, Aaron O'Hagan, Ciaran Coll, James Doherty, Keith Cowan, Ciaran Green, Adam Clarke, Hugh Carlin, Barry O'Mahoney, Stephen O'Donnell,Tommy Bonner, Chris Breen, Blain Curtis, Kevin McHugh.

Next preseason friendly is Derry on tuesday, so far we have lost 1-0 away to limevady and had one called of with a waterlogged pitch

That is WAY too low. I'd say it would be well over a million, sure Dundalk turn over a million each year and our wage budget is much lower.

*edit* "Mr. Nally told the meeting the club had a turnover of €1291613 in 2011 and returned a profit for the year before tax of €59,962."

If it only costs €750k to run where is the other €481,651 being spent?

Free/€5 for the game on Saturday v Mervue..that little break since December has flown by..

That leaves..Harps and Salthill not to visit Tallaght in any guise I think

Ebbs

Wages was 760k. A bit low in my opinion, especially the first team wage budget but whatever we'll take it for fact. The other 481k is used on 20k for the ground, 120k to meet uefa regs (Gantry and such), 12k (IIRC) registation fees, youth team expenditure (To stay under the SPC clubs will add wages of academy etc staff to youth rather than push up wages), electricity etc signings and other debts I would assume was the other 250k along with interest and other tax/council charges payable.

62% is just under the SPC. Bar the usual concerns over books prepared incorrectly, Id assume they theres paints a picture of success.

All of those are costs that are needed to be spent to keep the football club going so it costs a lot more than the 750k reported. I'd say this was an issue with the paper itself rather than what Sligo Rovers are saying

"Buy"?

applehunter

Out of contract AFAIK

In his interview he says he is using City as a stepping stone to get back into English football. If he does the business on the pitch its a win-win situation for both parties.

We look to have a strong 1st 11 now, if a bit light up top.

need to buy a striker before the start of season of some decent quality and I be fairly confident of pushing top 4 then.

yea think the paper says its 750k just on players wages, sure it says 1.2million turnover and a 60k pre tax profit... im sure a sligo man will be around soon who knows more

We've a strong first 11 and good cover in some areas. We've only two forwards and two centre backs, though Raf could go up front if we're badly stuck.

GO'N too.

I think this year will be a lot closer than last year.

Sligo have improved, Cork are just as good as Derry last year, Pats and Shels should be aiming for top 3/4. It seems Rovers and Derry have dis improved last year along with losing quality managers, and the potential of SK not settling down. Shep was far better than Kavenagh, Enda better than Powell and Sully was a top performer last season.

Opening day is too far away still.

Hes turned down better moves than that already. I'll believe it when I see it personally.

His family are much closer to him in Accrington than they would have been in Scotland.

I don't care if he goes at this stage, thanks for all you did, Paul. But I'm getting tired of the speculation every month about him leaving.
