It certainly wasn`t as optimistic as that!
If it happens that we breach the cap, its our own doing and we`ll have to take our oil and dop a division. If the 65% comes within reach though I woud expect that enough Bohs members and fans will generate sufficient revenue to squeeeze within it.
In any event, with all club salaries counted by the FAI from next year , it will be slash and burn for us in 2010.
Would it be right or fair if Bohs do not make the wage cap and be allowed to be league champions, if they win it. I mean they will have broken the rules this season, so surely they should be punished this season.
I am proud of Bohs and their general atitude to running the club. Rather live a day like a lion than a life of a lamb.
Or rather; better to live a glorious season or two as a Bohs, Cork, Shels fan than a lifetime in the RSC.
The 'all or nothing' is what makes a club great and provides amazing memories for fans.
You see how this works? It's the choice between banging Angelina Jolie once, versus a life spent with a nice plain girl who thinks blow jobs are dirty.
Life is for living. Football is the same. Glory is worth the price. Deal with it or move to Limerick.
I think that's grossly unfair on Pat Fenlon as well as being factually inaccurate.
He has made two signings during his time at Bohs that were on big wages - Jason Byrne and Mindaugas Kalonas. The latter was effectively a direct swap for Kevin Hunt's wages when he retired and was only a short-term deal anyway.
So in reality, all bar one of our big earners pre-date Fenlon coming to Bohs. And the 3/4 players that were signed this year were signed on one-year €50k contracts.
Our problems are the fault of the previous board, not Pat Fenlon.

We went and spent more money than we could afford, won a few trophies. Great fun at the time but if you want a club to support it has to end some time.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Bohs = kewl. Everyone else = loserz.

I think we're below it so far but from all sounds of it our books may be a bit messed up. Certainly missing a large tax bill is an oversight isn't it? I reckon we'll run into financial problems eventually anyway-not even that it'll be our chairmans fault too much more that money is getting so tight for the league. Rumours are slowly filtering out that we'll be a more part-time set-up next season. I'd like to see the league try to retain an element of professionalism but if it can't be done then so be it.
No players on trial-we're looking for trialists for our youth set-up and we've also taken Gareth Cambridge in on amateur terms by all accounts-though Doolin said in his latest interview that hes just training with us. Just to clear that up!
Sigh. No one reads the damned threads. From the article in the first post:
If they end the season above the cut-off point, they will face relegation, expulsion from any European competition for which they qualify and will also relinquish any trophies they win this season.
