Going on previous experiences Fenlon's definitely the man you want in charge not to finish off the cash reserve and provide a brand of football that people want to come out and pay to watch, TV cameras or not! Is the board not selected by the members and if so a block of the alienated members could vote their nominee to the board?Quote:

Fen lon would be mad not to take the under 20's offer from Celtic as they will turn on him soon enough
I believe you.Quote:

You'll need Dundalk to sacrifice the Cup win tho ;)Quote:

I can't wait until about 50 years time when Longford are randomly good, so I can be an arse to everyone on internet forums.
Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.

Its tongue in cheek with Dundalk fans obviously! :D
Did Shams not build a training ground with the Europa money.Quote:

We've had so few live league games it hasn't come up a whole lot... £4,000 in 2001 would be the equivalent of over €7000 now I reckon.
Setanta also used to pay for their live Setanta Cup games.
I think €4k (home) & €2k (away) was the figure there too
