It is some record for Fenlon to be involved with two famous Irish clubs when they have gone bust, quite a few players have the same distinction as well. If I was a fan I wouldn't give a cent to any of these characters, keep your hard earned money in your pockets lads and support whatever form the 'reborn Bohs' take in the future

Like Shels and Drogheda before them, buy the League title and then go bust. Short ter gain for lon term pain.
On the matter of Bohs being relegated for Financial irregularities or whatever the FAI will call it. Would we then be entitled to the Prize Money from the FAI for 8th place rather than 9th. So Sligo should get 2nd place Prize money, Fingal 3rd place etc. Its a thought!!!!!!!!
NO, we asked same question last year when we finished 5th, and Derry and Cork were thrown out. Prize money goes as per lge finish on the final day.
So in fact the FAI are condoning the breaking or their rules and will in fact reward you for doing so. Nice one Mr Delaney!!
Well I'm not from Bray town, and I have no problem crossing a county line to get to the Carlisle. I wouldn't mind the club moving in principle, so long as they were still somewhere around Bray, but it doesn't make sense to move away from such a great location, close to the town centre, the DART, and the Luas extension that is coming.Quote:

They forget those people have families and rent/a mortgage to pay for. Its funny how the only people they could afford to pay last week were those they want to keep next season.(going by their forums admin)
Fecking franchise ;)Quote:

How soon after the end of the league is the money transferred to the clubs? As far as I know, for all their problems, Bohs haven't actually broken any rule yet, and would still be entitled to it. I'm open to correction on that though.
Bohemian FC confirms that it made a payment to the Revenue Commissioners on Friday (19th November) and is in negotiations on a new schedule of further payments.
Talks are also continuing with the players in contract and the club is hopeful of reaching a settlement shortly.
The club wishes to thank all those many members and supporters who have made contributions and have taken fundraising initiatives. Together, we can overcome the present difficulties and build a sustainable future for Bohemians
I hope this is the main thing Bohs are looking at. Nobody wants any club out of the LOI. If they have to drop down to the first division and rebuild then so be it. Its better than trying to compete in the premier when they are not ready.Quote:

I just posted the statement because it is as important to recognise the progess being made (no matter how small) in getting out of this mess (no matter how large). It would be a shame if the thread was just about who gets who's prize money or european place when we are extinct as it seems to be lately. It should be about Bohs and the mess we've made and how good or bad a job we're doing of getting out of it.
No mention of whether Revenue were ahppy with the amount of the payment made?
well theyre in negotiations regarding future payments so theyre either really happy or really ****ed off.
In other words:Quote:

I think the Revenue would be happy with any payment from a big creditor these days. Negotiation is par for the course in these situations - they've been pretty flexible with individuals recently and I'd imagine large companies would be given as much or more leeway.Quote:
