December

On 2 December it was announced that a contract row had erupted at the club between manager Steve Staunton and captain Steve Foster, because of this Staunton confirmed he would take away Foster's duties as captain, and would not play him again until a clause in his contract was removed, due to the financial issues at the club, that meant they couldn't agree to his terms, whereas Foster felt he had the legitamacy to have a new contract with these terms, because he stuck with the club through and through during its difficult times (the contracts clause was that if Staunton picked Foster to start the next two games which would be his 20th game of that season that he had the right to sign an immediate one year contract extension on top of his current deal whatever that may be). So due to this Ian Miller was named as the new skipper replacing Foster for the game at home against Bradford City

January

A month after the reported incident on 4 January 2010, it was announced that former skipper Steve Foster decided that he would remove the clause and terms from his contract as he wanted to resolve his contract issue with and to play for the club again, but he also did this because of the circulating rumours surrounding his position at the club with the winter transfer window that had been open for a few days at that time. After former captain Steve Foster’s comments earlier that week on 7 January, manager Steve Staunton announced that he wanted Foster to play just as much as the former skipper but he would only do so if he took the clause out of his contract, as Staunton didn’t want to hold the club out to financial ransom, but even though Foster had remained professional throughout the whole situation, kept himself in good shape and available for selection it would be up to him to remove the clause from his contract to enable him to play again. On the same day after weeks of speculation the identity of the two League of Ireland trialists Staunton had brought in was revealed and they were former St Patrick's Athletic's

What angered the club was the fact that the referee deemed the pitch playable after some of the snow had been cleared from the pitch and surrounding areas, due to help from volunteers, and the thaw of the snow over previous days, at 10am, but called a second inspection at 12noon to see if the conditions would improve, but after the groudstaff had worked on it for an hour until the next inspection, it kept raining so the condition of the pitch deteriorated, so the referee called the game off, but immediately after the inspection it stopped raining, so the groudstaff continued to work on the pitch for a further hour, so groudsman thought the pitch was in good condition, so much so that the club decided to hold a training session on it, which went well, which is what angered the club about the match being postponed in the first place.

Transfers

Because the Football League accepted the club's exit from administration only in August 2009, although deals had been agreed with a number of players, who had appeared for the club in pre-season matches, these players were not officially registered for the club until 3 August 2009. These registrations also included those of players whose contracts could not be renewed until the club came out of administration.
