'Inability to guarantee wages' sees Bray Wanderers willing to sell first team players

The Seagulls said it was ‘only fair to give players an opportunity to secure employment elsewhere’.

BRAY WANDERERS HAVE announced they are willing to listen to offers for all of their current players, as the League of Ireland club faces into yet another crisis.

The Seagulls were marred by controversy all throughout last season and currently sit bottom of the Premier Division with just three wins from 24 games so far in 2018.

“Bray Wanderers have reluctantly decided to listen to offers for any of their players,” the club said in a statement released by chairman Gerry Mulvey on Tuesday.

“Given the club’s inability to guarantee wages until the end of the season, it’s only fair to give the players an opportunity to secure employment elsewhere.

“The situation could change overnight but until such time as it does we will listen to all offers and make decisions on a case by case basis.

“We wish them the best of luck in their endeavours to secure new contracts elsewhere.”

    James French is in the academy and he was an Irish u20 international. Keep investing in youth

    As long as Cronin stays fit they may aswell back Wycherley as cover. In a pinch, John Ryan could probably switch back across to LH if needed too.

    @Johnny 5: I think with Ryan likely to remain involved with Ireland, depending on 2 LHs probably leaves things a bit tight. Even if someone was brought in and they were only there behind Cronin and Wycherley it’d be the right thing to do. Even a small injury to either leaves Munster in a lot of bother.

    @Kevin Ryan: I’m open to correction but he switched to TH over a year ago.

    @Jim Demps: I certainly don’t have info to the contrary. That’s a shame though (imo), both because of the current need for a LH, and the signing of Salanoa (in addition to Knox) of a similar age suggests it will be tough for French to break through at TH

    @Kevin Ryan: I guess at the time of the move there’d have been less of a need for a LH with probably 5 guys ahead of him, 3 of whom are of a young age. On the TH side another 1 or 2 years will see archer gone and Ryan getting on so there’s plenty of room for both Salanoa, Knox and French.

    Great to hear Wiggys input. So refreshing to hear a coach not use endless cliché s.

    It’s great to see Munster trust their young home grown players, it will do the players and the team the world of good in the long run.
