A Couple of Questions Re Dundalk

**Mr A** · 17/08/2012, 3:10 PM

This will be achieved through a three-year sponsorship package that will be factored around current sponsorship frameworks.

What does that mean?

**Nesta99** · 17/08/2012, 3:19 PM

Revenue now to date, 37k went to the FAI last week, wages all paid up, so bumpy it may be but not as catastrophic as it might have been. McLoughlin transfer and Chelsea friendly covered immediate shortfall. Fastfix cash injection and fundraisers see us to seasons end. Everton friendly to come and improved confidence in the community now the the GM concerns are gone so improvements all round. Trust can look over the shoulder of new investors to prevent a reoccurance of the last 2 years. A few important details are not clear in particular the YDC's future.

Mr A id say it means Fastfix are back in as sponsors - Fasxtfix Oriel Park??

I thought the same thing, as Nesta says the YDC is going to be tough to resolve, though as long as the process doesn't break down then at least the club will survive. But again, where has the website gone?

They website may have crashed with the additonal traffic or it is simply offline while being updated, i wouldnt be too concerned about that. Maybe they are digging out the old fastfix logos..

Nothing sinister Spud,its back up and running.

I hope that initial statement is not an indication of how the consortium will communicate with fans. Dreadful statement.

**Cuyahoga** · 17/08/2012, 4:13 PM

Ben Mc Laughlin gone to Everton. Good luck to him.

And so it begins, the next catastrophe in waiting. Dundalk eats itself again. Bullitt, you know as well as anyone that there was a whole heap of a mess last year (and this) and some really devious carry on from GM and PJ, he called it right and is trusted by the group coming in to take over. I've no allegiance or like of the man but he is far, far better than what is there.

He called nothing right Spud.His posts on Orielweb where awful,cringeworthy piles of shoite.Divide and conquer was his aim and he done some hatchet job there but he didnt do it in a fair or honest way.
I hope that now, as i am now a new paid up voting member of the club that i can help bring him down.If you are a member you can of course vote for him

**Spudulika** · 18/08/2012, 6:42 AM

Jesus Bullitt, at least give it the requisite 12 months before the next Dundalk Civil War!!! :-) I can't comment on his posts on OW, only what I heard back from members and on radio. I'd give him a chance and with a strong supporters trust then at least controls can be in place. Plus the main men are Mr. C and Paul.

Oh FFS! Toughest fans in the LoI to please..

**jinxy lilywhite** · 18/08/2012, 1:24 PM

to be honest lads I think Bullit has a point. Last years takeover debacle damaged the club significantly in the standing of townspeople. GM is just as guilty of this as Ciaran Bond and fastfix, thats why it was pivotal this time around that nothing got leaked and no mud slinging match ups on LM FleM.

My approach to the takeover is that the Fastfix consortium intentions are honest hopefully for the betterment of the club. With the trust on board too the onus is on the supporters to sign up for memebership because we all will have a say and grant the trust are more powerful mandate to keep these guys in check and ensure we never approach this juncture again.

We cant rely on one person or a group of individuals anymore to keep us running. Supporters need to step up and take ownership of our own club

That's a huge prediction to make about any 17 year old, I think.

**oriel** · 20/08/2012, 11:15 AM

Agreed, his hard work only begins now, and the odds of him making it, (and any player heading across at that age) is still quite long.

He has a good chance though.
