I'll have to look into it more but Bohs started transitioning to full time before 2022. Looking at the squad list for 2021 I think the vast majority including the management team were full time. Only one I know had a job being Wardy but even then he may have packed it in by that stage. Id say the losses that year are more than likely down to sacking a manager who had a few years left on his contractQuote:

Looks completely unsustainable. Cork fans would want to get together and try to ... Oh hold on, nevermind.
How on earth do Cork need that level of money thrown at them to be relegated from the Premier/win the First?

Wouldn't think Maguire is cheap, and prob had a signing on deal too, Keating either for that matter would have been on PD wages.Quote:

Is there a suggestion that there is to be 'Cork City' type branding rather than CCFC or just the way the journalist phrased things. The former wouldnt be at all like the HF/Dublin City genius of tourist jersey sales.
I wish Dundalk had a handy €1.4m investment from a new owner these days....
I've seen mock ups of a jersey with a toilet on it alright. It symbolized where our season ended up last year :DQuote:

Hopefully the new government with their Rovers Fine Gaelers will point out that a sport isnt skint when the governing body had major financial reserves sitting in the bank and that they have massive wealth generating capacity with large stadia nationwide along with one of the biggest in Europe. It is typical that they have played the poor mouth in fear of missing a beat but its from their old playbook - they have serious middle child like issues seeing anything that others (may) get as them being neglected. Im not that sure why Croke Park should be expected to step in for county boards, it'd be like asking the FAI even if minthed to just pay the taxman on behalf of clubs that havent bothered (currently a fantastic idea!).

Wasn’t sure where to put this but 1.5 million invested in Kerry FC by Tralee native John Wall, the chief financial officer of Nasdaq-listed Cadence Design Systems…..
Nice! Maybe Brian Ainscough's comments this time last year about Kerry being 5-10 years away from a club like Dundalk were true after all… in a roundabout way ;)Quote:

The net loss is concerning alright. It cannot be sustainable. Better to be in a National League and cutting their cloth than to be making unnecessary losses.
