3 down, 7 to go.

The most bizarre thing about that article is that there is absolutely no indication that Derry will be looking to lighten the wage bill.

3 of the top 4 in trouble to one extent or another and not one of them seems intent on cutting costs. It really would make you despair for the future of this league.

And once again you have to wonder how DCFC stand in relation to the 65% rule. Although at this stage you'd have to assume that so many clubs are urinating all over it that it'll have to be fudged again.

I split the thread. No real point of it being stuck in the (already huge) Cork thread

Exactly Mr A,

A small minority of us having been highlighting the real dangers for the last 18 months or so, but having been branded "troublemakers" and patronised at AGMs, it has suprised me that we kept the show on the road this long.

The only thing i can say is keep it up Maribor. I know it's going to be hard but slowly but surely people will realise you're right and hopefully it's before it's too late for Derry

genuinely fair play to you and the other "troublemakers" Maribor.

However, i would like to point out that it sounds almost identical to what has happened with my own club. Behaviour and circumstances for which we get lambasted on this forum regularly.

There are none so blind as those who will not see (until its too feckin late!).

SkStu,

We have a Supporters Trust established and properly registered(very inactive mind, but the structure of the I&PS is there for the worst case scenario)

hmmmm The exact same scenario as Harps.Start using words like Youth Development and Long term plan and that really gets them going.

Its starting to look like Drogs for Europe at this stage

Mind you we would be going Ryanair and staying in a hostel next time

In fairness to Derry they have some extenuating circumstances with the sponsorship withdrawal.

It was well known that our sponsor had been in difficulties for quite a while.

I disagree with the extenuating circumstances, not when you keep signing players and making overnight stays. This was always coming, just a question of when.

**eamo1** · 14/07/2009, 7:19 PM

Someone said 3 down 7 to go well its almost 4 down if this take over doesnt happen for us(Galway Utd).Debts of 500k and losing 5 grand a week.Although we did just get a new main sponsor today,Papa Johns Pizza

.I look forward to playing Bohs and Cork in the A championship next year.

**dcfc1928** · 14/07/2009, 7:32 PM

Shels, Drogs, Cork, Bohs, Harps, Pats, Galway.......... and us.

We should start a breakaway league, the Northern Rock Financial Services League of Ireland.
