Nice to see another club get in on the act and take the focus off DFC in all of this v WRC season, maybe Hendo will actually get paid though, as I'm still fairly sure none of the cases v DFC have been settled, in payment terms.

Really don't get other clubs flak on this jersey thing, it should be commended any LOI club looking to get additional revenue streams in, who cares about the band, who played a concert in 1978 or 1980, if its incoming money and they are paying small % to charity, fair play to them.
Nothing stopping any of the other 19 LOI clubs coming up with similar ideas to raise money.
I think that with even a limited amount of hours, the responsibility involved makes me a little surprised at the salary.
If Dundalk haven't settled the balances that is crazy. Really could come back to bite you. Much like this poor practice from Bohs did. People in football will let a lot of things slide, too much at times, but that was foolish and unnecessary.
According to the Indo article on this:
The WRC must have had a good chuckle today at that job spec versus salary, lets hope Bohs haven't been planning releasing any new shirts for the raising societal awareness of Revenue.ieQuote:
His job spec was described, in a submission to the WRC, as “head of recruitment, men’s first team goalkeeper coach, women’s first team coach, chief scout for the Academy and liaison with the Respondent’s partner club” with a weekly wage of €250
Think I read before, its one thing awarding the money to be paid, another thing getting it paid, I`m almost sure Dundalk have not paid out, could be wrong, also I`m not sure if any of this can / will effect a future licence. Also heard something that Dundalk's owner might be contesting some of these awards too. But who knows.
I have a little insight here re appeals of WRC decsions.
Firstly the line of appeal is to the Labour Court, from what i hear 85% to 90% of decsions are rubber stamped.
So appealing unless you have really strong grounds , basically an error in Law or proceedure or obvious unfairness in the deciosn (this can happen as the WRC guys are in general little "Tin pot dictators") as you are veryunlikely to win in the labour court.
The only next/other step is to the high Court but only on a point of Law.
Basically if you are ruled against in the WRC you are going to end up paying up unless the money is massive as the cost of running the case again is prohibitive and highly unlikely to succeeed.
In terms of enforcement, unless you are in liquidation and legally able to avoid paying , you are paying up or facing further legal action by the courts to enforce the order.....at your expense.
