So the rumour goes. They'll get the full bit once they're playing United in the CL come September, of course. It'll be grand then.

Im also interested in everything asked by the Roveres fan,but purely from a betting perspective.Iwatched them beat Glebe North 7-0 last nite and was very impressed.To me they should be odds on to win the league so I have taken Boyles 7/4 and now am taken 15/8 in Ladbrokes.Will they add Ger Rowe to their other 3 forwards,Byrne,Crowe and Fenn?
So Stu please answer those questions if u know the answers and I will tell u get stuck into a team who won the league by 19 points and have added Paul keegan,Joseph Ndo and maybe Ger Rowe with only losing Liam Burns,JP Kelly and Kalgounis.
They are stronger this season whilst the chasing pack are weaker with question marks over all of them
Prediction Back Bohs at 15/8 in Ladbrokes with decent money
Not doubting they've a great team. They're a couple of million in debt, losing shed loads, paying massive interest and have some large legal bills hanging over them. Doesn't take a genius to work out they're going to do a Shels, only it could be messier as they owe money to banks instead of owing property to a developer.Quote:

Would also be interested from a betting point of view , from what i can gather there is a couple of guys called Gerry at Bohs who know everything and outside of them very few seem to have a clue what is going on , to put things into perspective Drogheda were buying players in the summer transfer window and only went bust when they were out of running for the league, I would be concerned about betting on bohs in case they had a bad start and nothing to play for as it would get them a chance to wipe the slate clean and start again.Quote:

I can see them being so far clear with five or six games to go that they could lose all their players and still win the league.
there is absoutely nothing wrong with the original post or the questions being asked in it. To be honest theyre pretty much the same questions that the bohs fans in general have. Unfortunately the membership is extremely divided on the issue and so are pretty ineffective when it comes to getting the truth out of the board. The proposed budget (accepted by the league for some unknown reason) would be laughable, if it wasnt so serious. The clowns who are proposing to increase attendances are the same ones who have increased admission, driven away good fans for nothing and have scrapped or ignored good schemes like "kids go free". Unless there is a radical change in attitude attendances will not increase.
What does **** me off a little about the preaching on this messageboard is that "the truth, i say it as it is" comes from Pineapple Stu, a UCD fan who has never tasted success in his life. Instead of supporting a real club with aspirations of winning a trophy he obsesses on a messageboard over the finances of everyone else. Its pretty pathetic and i certainly wouldnt be overtly proud to have such "knowledge" of everyone elses finances. No offence Stu, i actually enjoy some of your posts but its repetitiveness and preaching tone has gotten quite tiresome at this stage.
Great first paragraph, terrible second paragraph.Quote:

:) no offence here Stu, just a faint hope that i will someday understand your obsession with the finances of every troubled club in the league.Quote:

Try sticking to a budget for a couple of years and see how much it ****es you off that every club goes broke with almost predictable regularity. :)Quote:
