no offence but a couple of hundred fans isnt going to make for much of a hostile reception for doyle and why wouldnt he move,
put yourself in his shoes, young lad, more money, closer to home, the list goes on...
if any of you can say you wouldnt move then your lying.
as for judas, he gave 100% for ucd and was made a better offer by a stable prem div club, if anyone here was offered a more suitable job and more money would you turn it down, i dont think so

Waterford United ... STABLE? Don't make me laugh...
The Blues are my second favourite team but I would never describe a club that squandered a �400,000 windfall in 1998/99 from the Share issue as being stable. They are heavily in debt at present which is why I am surprised they are making offers for anyone.
We are one the most stable clubs in the entire League from a financial standpoint

College TID, I think that you will find otherwise.
At Waterford's last AGM in October, the Club reported to its shareholders that its debt is now down to �30,000 ( from + �700k in 2000). The previous incumbents left the Club in such a mess that when our current chairman came in that summer people thought he should be carted off to the local lunatic asylum. No businessman in the South East were prepared to touch Waterford with a 40ft barge pole.
In short WUFC nearly went bust in June 2000 with a massive 6 figure debt but our Chairman (I dont like the guy what he did to Jimmy McGeough) steadied the ship and we now have one of the best run clubs administratively in the League. Our finances are very tight but we are sure that the mistakes of the past will never be repeated again.
It looks to me like the Waterford Fans (and shareholders?) were mislead on the tightness of their clubs finances.
