Yes I know that licensing is supposed to stop a lot of the financial shenanigans that used to and still do go on, but the bottom line again is that clubs are responsible for the situation they put themselves in. The FAI can't save a club from itself if it's determined to go down a certain route, and there will always be loop-holes in any licensing system.
Then when clubs end up in financial schtook the FAI are stuck between a rock and a hard place : help keep clubs alive even when they've been run shambolically, or do nothing and effectively let them go to the wall. Neither is a good option to chose, but given the fact that the FAI'S job is football and the bad press the league has had for the last few years, I think they can be forgiven for trying not to let any more clubs hit the wall.
It's possible for the FAI and the clubs to both be in the wrong.
Seems very likely the FAI will end up paying the additional wages for Drogs. IMO probably sets an unwarranted precedent.
What happens to Drogs next season if they need to use the FAI guarantee mid season? :confused:
I'll take my chances with the FAI.Quote:

To compare the Shels and Drogheda cases is just silly.
Cork Drogheda and Shamrock Rovers are in the same pot for paying creditors less than 100%.
Shels done exactly what Bray Cobh Harps Athlone and probaly some more done this year in that they couldn't meet the payments through in full for the full season but paid it all back after the league finished.
I'm not saying one is right and one is wrong but it's not fair to compare Shels and Drogheda.
He is probably refering to how the mess was created, not how it was cleaned up.Quote:

I do stand to be corrected on this, but the CL money has not gone to the Drogs yet. It goes to the FAI to be distributed. They can use this for their guarantee.
Bear in mind this is the same FAI that 6 years ago told Drogheda United they had 24 hours to pay them €100,000 (when we owed them nothing) or we would be kicked out of the league and we were in far less trouble then than we are now.
In my mind the FAI is actually supporting the league, certainly more than they used to.
If the government can guarantee the banks what in the name of God is wrong with the FAI trying to keep some clubs going.
Lets kick Drogheda, Cork, Cobh, Athlone, Galway, Sligo, Boheminas out of the league. Would the FAI be responsible if they stood by while that happened?
Ya fair play to the fai for what there TRYING to do for us, any other club would get 100% backing but not our twisted ****ing club.
Different though in that in Drogheda's case the builders had an active say in how the money was spent where as with Shels it was jus the Shels board that frittered away the money they raised from a land deal.Quote:

Can I just point out that the last time you accused me of making up bull was over my comment that Shels are still drawing down funds from Tolka and making losses. Both those comments have been subsequently verified in, respectively, the national press (source Shels) and a website run by a Shels fan (extratime).Quote:

Apparently I stand corrected. Makes the FAI seem even more interested in the league.Quote:

Yes. Where is the suggestion that the FAI will be paying wages though?
Its hypothetical now, the players have accepted the deal, no future payments agreed.Quote:
