John Caulfield is claiming that Cork City's budget is a fraction of that of Dundalk, Pats, and Rovers. 80% less, according to Caulfield.
A euro goes a lot further in Cork than on the east coast, if Cork have put together such a large squad on 20% of the budget of the other leading clubs.

In true LOI fashion Caulfield refuses to let the truth get in the way of a good yarn!
If Roddy Collins made those statements the ridicule would be outrageous

Be a pity if goals were being filmed in the First Division but not being put online.
I hope he wasn't alluding to the "Double Kenny"Quote:

Limerick starting 17 year old Tommy Holland in goal.
I think everyone was a bit frustrated at how poor we were on the night and seemed to single out Billy. Wasn't his best game but it wasn't just him, we were collectively poor. It was a very frustrating match to watch as it never really got going and a draw was inevitable from early on. First time in the Caulfield era that boos were heard after the final whistle.Quote:

Absolute rubbish. Managers always use budget as an easy excuse.Quote:

Best that can be said about his positioning is he was in the right goalmouth.
Maybe Cauldfield means '20% less'. Either way he has some very high earners in his squad, notably Miller, and Shephard who both joined on decent contracts. Also he has a good few players too like Dan Murray, Rob Lehane, Mark O'Sullivan, who didn't start the season as first team regulars, but would still be on a good wage I'm sure.
I'm not sure what Dundalk's weekly budget is, but it was modest enough in 2014. However some players like Towell, Finn, Horgan, O'Donnell and perhaps Rogers would be on good money you would think.
In summary I wouldn't say there is that much between Cork and Dundalk in budgets, I think Rovers would be bigger, and Pats a bit behind all.
Awful game in longford last night and as expected an awful attendance but the win is all that matters and back up to 6th in the league where we have a real chance of finishing this season which would be an incredible achievement.
Should have won by more in the end but we just aren't taking our chances. Ben Mohamed exceptional again (and wrongly booked for diving by another sh1t ref). We could have easily thrown it away in the last seconds with 2 massive chances for Limerick but thankfully they didn't take them. Huge couple of weeks coming up for us now.
Horgan 2nd goal on Friday :love2:

Dundalk are by a clear margin the biggest wages spenders in this league, albeit its offset by Fyffes paying a significant proportion of Towells, Finn and maybe even Horgans wages, so the direct impact on dundalks budget is felt less.
how do i know this you may ask?? Believe it or not i have a mole in the fyffes offices!!
Rovers AGM was yesterday where we were told that we couldn't afford a new striker even though fatso North is out until September.
I wont hazard a guess of pats money or corks but i'd say is all much of a muchness between those two & Rovers
Don't get me wrong- dundalks money is well spent as Towell & Horgan are winning the league for youse on their own.
Just don't kid yourself into thinking its some altruistic streak by your players and they are willing to accept buttons for their services
This is why I love this site.Quote:

Richie Towell is earning more per week than the entire Finn Harps squad. Fact. It's always true when you say fact. Fact.
This is clearly a bananas suggestion PC.Quote:

I almost found myself clapping Dundalks second goal and another move they put together which would have been a goal only for an unbelievable save from Clarke.
Its also one of the only times i have left a Pats game on the end of a beating and not been bitching about some sort of scape goat... they cheated/they fluked it/the ref robbed us, etc etc. They were just a step above what we had to offer.
This Dundalk team is not the most talented team man for man, i have seen , but arguably one of the best teams/units/machines, i have seen in a long......long... time. So well drilled and so effective.
Annoyingly i am struggling to hate them, i want to, i really do. Kenny helps though me maintain some level of dislike towards them
I think they're on drugsQuote:

I remember watching Derry beat Dundalk 4-0 in oriel park, league cup final, think it was 88/89 and we were double champions. Played us off the park, second to every ball, real quality.
And I think that was the case when ye came down here, sometimes you just have to put your hands up and say you were beaten by a better side.Quote:

Is this in the rules? Why the game has to re-start?
Because it was abandoned. If it was after 75 minutes the result would have stood.Quote:
