Top flight make-up to be decided by committee

[Dodge]

are we still whining about this. its done. the FAI have decided to enforce licencing.
If only...

the only clubs fans (unless you are a chf fan, your club voted for this) still flogging this dead horse are serial complainers.

Patently not true.

[Roverstillidie]

This is nothing to do with the vote.

You said Galway are an "immaculately run club". I laughed and showed how they weren't. Ball's in your court. Try and stay on topic this time.

they are for the purposes of this debate. they remained on budget, built up their stadium, brought in a big name marketing guy. good youth set up, tie ins with local clubs. things are going well in a sustainable fashion. in other words the antithisis of UCD and CHF.

they deserve some credit for doing everything right and resisting temptation to spend it all on players. in other words the antithisis of UCD and CHF.



Patently not true.

the vote wasnt passed by 19 of the 20 clubs who bothered showing up? (shels and who didnt btw?) including UCD? its the way forward and rather than moan about conspiracy theories about why delaney is after club x or y in favour of whoever, do the sums yourself. its all trasparent except for a minor component. and the sums seem to say that there will be no significant changes to the premier sides

just stop boring people with complaining about it. **** the begrudgers, we need the off the pitch rules enforced for a sustainable professional league. and thats what this will do.

There's more people complaining about it, froma broader spectrum of clubs than there are defending it, and nobody tells you to shut the **** up, much as some might like to.


**** the begrudgers, we need the off the pitch rules enforced for a sustainable professional league. and thats what this will do.Like they did with licensing? What was wrong with that? What makes you think the same body will be better at enforcing the new thing?

I've no problem with Rovers fans backing this (I'd do the same if I was them) but if you can't answer any odf the questions posed, don't bring the level of debate down to "you're boring me"...

[Roverstillidie]

well what else have UCD spent their money on? stadium? facilities? they could justify their existence a lot easier when they were a student(ish) side 10 years ago. can they anymore? what makes them a special case these days?

what are the actual questions being posed im ignoring? wild conspiracy theories that delaney (who i am far from a fan of) is out to get UCD?

the chikens are coming home to roost for everyone. some clubs are working hard to run themselves as businesses with links to local communities. others arent putting those resources in and spending it all on the football side and thats not acceptible.

when the structures are in place, then fine, spend away. but not paying tax credits when your rivals are is cheating. and the FAI claim they will eliminate this culture. whether they do or not is another story, but the EL have abjectly failed.

licencing failed because the league had no sanction if they were broken other than removal. now they will have a range of sanctions, and rightfully so.

see CHF's CRO returns. shels lack of returns. maguires folly before he was removed. it has to stop and the UCD fans hollering for the old order is self serving and a detriment to the long term future of the game here. oh no, you have to field a youth team. oh no, a reserve side too. and pay tax? never!!!

what are the alternatives? see all our stadiums sold to speculators to pay day to day bills? someone has to implement a ceiling if even temporary

[DmanDmythDledge]

only one team voted against it, rocky city, so how can a team sue of they signed up for it?
Teams won't have to sue- it's against UEFA regulations.

[Poor Student]

Dublin City voted against, Kildare and Kilkenny didn't turn up and Monaghan abstained. The rest voted for the motion.

UCD were prevented from investing in facilities due to the college. UCD were set to go ahead and redevelop the Belfield Park but the college decided to build on top of the facility. We're now moving to our new ground and have secured funding to do so. We haven't held back so we could spend money on players. UCD are tax compliant and don't owe nothing to the revenue. We have a good structure for bringing through talent and have won the last two U-21 leagues.

UCD are tax compliant and don't owe nothing to the revenue.
We in fact do owe nothing to the revenue. ;)

Quiet you, you don't know nuffin'.

Kildare and Kilkenny didn't turn up
