Yet when your esteemed chairman was challenged to be part of a group that highlighted the misdemeanors of other clubs, who just happened to be further up the table, he declined.

Pity, I like Derry, like the Brandywell, like the fans (well most of them anyway), but even Roddy knows that any perceived misdemeanor by Drogheda United pales into insignificance when compared to what other clubs are trying to hide (and I' not talking about Derry).
I cannot speak for our chairman and his efforts outside of Derry City FC, but i dont believe he had a personal vendetta against Drogheda Utd. Derry City has been very pro-active over the past 2-3 years in doing things by the book, specifically our own finances and more recently in trying to meet the new UEFA guidlines that all 22 clubs signed up to (2 years ago). I can see Jim Roddys point............if we get our act together as a club, more recently if we meet all the UEFA requirements that we signed up to and other clubs dont, what type of league do we have....?? I know what your saying in regards to other clubs, I personally cant see how 3 of the top four in the first division are going to meet premier status in regards the leagues new law ???
