Stephen Bradley's future beyond this season's record-equalling four-in-a-row has been the subject of much speculation in recent times.
Stephen Bradley says talks about his Shamrock Rovers future are “moving well” - with preparations for the Hoops’ drive for five already underway.
However, the 38-year-old, who got his hands on the league trophy once again last Friday night, after Rovers’ 4-2 win over Sligo Rovers, had some good news on that front. “I can’t afford to do that. I can’t let the players down. I can’t let this club down. I can’t let those 8,000 fans down if I accept that.“Like I said, things are moving in the right direction. We are speaking to players, Graham is speaking to the board in terms of my own situation, which is moving now.Bradley is also confident that talks with players whose contracts are due to expire shortly will bring more cheer.“I think we’ve spoken to a number of players.
“When you are bringing in boys from outside, they want to live in Dublin, and it’s not cheap. We all know that, with the housing crisis and everything. Bradley, meanwhile, paid tribute to departing stars Alan Mannus and Ronan Finn. Mannus has retired at the age of 41, while Finn is on his way to UCD.“That’s the beauty of the group,” Bradley said. “Our senior players demand that from the younger players when they come in.“When we travel, when we play, they represent this club on and off the pitch. Our senior players see to that, and Ronan and Alan have led that for us.
