A big well done to management for messing this one up
Looking forward to Orielly doing the same next.
Hardly managements problem. He was rumoured to have suitors in the summer, why would he tie himself down to Derry when he can move for free at the end of the year?
Just remember that it's a job for these lads. If another company offered you better pay and conditions, would you reject that opportunity?

People need to catch themselves on. He'd be absolutely mad to stay.
Rovers are the biggest most successful Club in Ireland, play regularly in Europe, can pay the highest wages, and all whilst living in the Dublin area - if you're a young player serious about career development its a no brainer.
Oh, and they play on grass.

Sure he knew all that when he signed a 3 year deal with us.

He’s was youngster and it was a natural step up. As is his next move. He’s entering his prime years now. I don’t begrudge him a move. Will put him in the shop window for a move across the water if he impresses.

Think he's a bit small for move across water hope I'm wrong.

We should be seriously questioning renewing fat’s contract.
I'd agree, based on his injury record, not on any ability, cos when fit he's one of the best.
Last night's game was one where we could have used his class to open the Bohs team, but it's obvious he wouldn't have been able to play tonight and on Monday as well, so that probably was the reason we didn't see him.
I'd only offer him a pay as you play deal from now on. He is probably one of the leagues top earners, and we haven't been getting any value for this cost since he returned to us.

You'd wonder why he was given a place on the bench?
