Yes but we wont be all Amateur.We will lose the mercenarys but there are professional that want to stay and as we all have said 2 players are the only ones who caused this the rest of the players have been more than helpful in their dealings with the club.The players have been kept upto date throughout the last 3 weeks and 3 officals met them once again after the Pats Game to pay them what we could after the game but again the 2 individuals were trying to cause friction within the camp.
Not necessarily - I'm pretty sure Derry put in place plans to pay back creditors, even though they didn't have the legal obligation to, to maintain goodwill towards the club. You could pick and choose who to burn in that situation. How much of the debt is "directors loans"?Quote:

lets just wait and see shall we, my club has been through this and it all looks very familiar to me. just try and keep a close eye on your club and don't just assume everything is rosy because you are being told so - don't want to take this thread off topic so won't be posting on this subject again in this thread.Quote:

Directors loans and Bank loans guarenteed by them is over 3/4 of the debt if not more and they are in discussions with the banks involved to try and work out these. GUST have no shareholding in the Company so we arent laible for any of this.
People on here seem to think that the club is beng run by the directors it is not and has not for nearly a year now by the supporters who have actually reduced the debts while trying to keep the show on the road. A lot of people on here read a headline and automatically assume we are going bust well if we have anything to do with we will be here for many years to come but it is going to take many years hard work and we knew this when we agreed to take over the running of the club.
Now that the club is being run sustainably, it does actually make sense for the creditors to make deals with Galway to consolidate the debts. There is at least a chance they'll get some or most of their money back eventually in that case. If they all start acting like the seagulls out of Finding Nemo, the club will go to pieces almost instantly, and none of them will get anything. I think it's a slightly different situation to Sporting Fingal, or Agent Coughlan's time at Cork, and Galway have a better chance of coming out the other end of it at some point.
It did ring a bell alright that GUST had taken over running the club earlier.Quote:

I'm still not sure the GUST approach is right, seems the worst of all worlds to me, but I assume it was a democratic decision.
It was Macy after an EGM. We looked at all the possibilities and we decided this was the only way feasible of keeping the club going. The FAI dont care because havent Galway got 2 other clubs anyway.
You actually haven't a bulls notion what you're talking about :DQuote:

These aren't megastars, these are working class blokes many with small families I'm sure, if you owe them money pay them and they'll stop cribbing. How would anyone here like it if their boss ghouled them around to the extent gufc have been ghouling their players around?
Also any player that wouldn't give you their tax details shouldn't be signed surely?

I dont think the 2 individuals realise the position they have put themselves in.Most of our players were signed right up to 24 hrs before the season kicked off because of the appeal so everything was rushed through and we got all the other players details within a week but the 2 amigos thought they were being smart.
Its amazing that Lims fans hold such bitterness towards GUFC as there has always been a grate comrdeship between both clubs except for a few youn pc warriors who have all forgotten about LOI now that they have copped on and started following Barstoolers.
The present regime in Galway hasnt ghouled anyone and fully intend to pay up whats due except maybe the 2 amigos.
Was the club paying them all along without their tax details sorted? How did ye work that out?Quote:

EDIT: My 6000th post :eek: Pretty underwhelming in fairness.
Not puzzling at all with what there on sorting out the tax situation is simple like both of these lads.
Thank you to all those who have sent messages of goodwill and to those from clubs accross the LOI and Galway who contributed to the United Flag day collection today. All contributions / donations, no matter how small (or big) are welcome and appreciated.

Galway are a joke of a club. Board members hanging up all the dirty laundry all over the internet like children. Continually blaming the last board for their problems and crying victim then have the nerve to call footballers who weren't paid mercenaries? You work a honest week you should expect to get paid the players are well in the right to make a issue about it if Galway are messing around with them.
Yeeee-Haaaa lets get this thread moving !!! :)Quote:

In all fairness it is a little rich for you to complain about someone who's owed money by your club. whatever the amount. We're not talking about lads of millions a year. They earn less than a working wage and deserve to have whatever contract they signed be honoured
Your constant snipes about then are pathetic
He is owed €150 and will be paid and the door will be closed behind him.
From the sound of it he won't be particularly upset to hear the door shot. If it's such a small amount of money the club should make it a priority to pay, particularly since, as Dodge pointed out, they're not making a living wage. As a self-employed person I have very little sympathy for companies that withhold relatively small amounts of money.
Galway brought this whole mess upon themselves. If you owe someone pay them and stop crying over the internet. I have no time for anyone holding back money to working class lads who don't earn much anyway and when its a small amount it shows how petty GUFC are. How do you know how much they could be stuck for this money? Galway United is still rotten to the core if this is the way you still carry on.Quote:

At 15 defeats they should hide themselves in embarrassment
As geezer said we cant pay what we dont have.The people involved now are ordinary supporters trying to save their club from going bust and have already paid out of their own pocket but none of us are money men .No bank will give us an overdraft due to the debt owed by the previous regime so how do you propose we pay.
Every club is a few results away from being in the same situation we find ourselves but if it takes us 10 years we will turn around the situation.
I just bought the Galway back four for €7.99 on ebay. Hope that helps.
If a club with a five-figure weekly turnover is stuck for 150 euro then they shouldn't be operating at all.Quote:

Thats more than what can be said for other clubs.Quote:

Well I was factoring in fixed income like season tickets too. That's a pretty dire situation if true though.
Its true and anyone at the club will verify it we have over 500 season ticket holders so if our gates are down its usually the pay on the night fans who stay away hence the dramatic drop in income.
Our flag day yesterday was great to involved in and over 20 volunteers stood from 9.30am yesterday morning in pouring rain with people like that we will pull through .We have a Concert and Poker Classic coming up the next 5 weeks we will sort out every penny with the players and they have been kept in the picture by the mc who hve met them all . We were thrown into complete chaos when the Licencing Comittee refused us our licence and had only 4 days effectively to sign a full squad of players.
Dare I ask who that dig refers to? Your problems lie in Terryland Park, sort your own house out before preaching about the conduct of others.Quote:

Personally I always loved our trips to Galway. Great city and a nice ground too (one of my favs). Pity we were the only side you were consistently beating up to recently.
Every club in this leage has had, is having or will have their own financial problems. Nobody can afford to preach.
Anyway best of luck lads and keep the chin up.

You knock the players and we knock you. I think that's fair
Wow. Get ready for this one. Nick Leeson has written a piece for The Journal stating that "Galway United chiefs are risking economic stability for short-lived success." I'm speechless.

Looking forward to the response to this:Quote:

To my mind, this has nothing to do with legacy debt that is largely underwritten by the directors. It is a simple case of over-trading – revenue is far less than
expenditure. I believe whoever signed those playing contracts is at fault and I believe they will pay the ultimate penalty, whether that is simply relegation or something more serious for the long-term future of the club.
nick leeson is a clown!! from what i've heard from friends in galway he handed sean connor a 3 year contract on around 800 a week and a percentage of any profit made by the club a day or 2 before he left!! that is a joke if true and i am open to correction from the lads involved with galway united!!!
What a shockingly self serving, inaccurate, puke inducing load of nonsense. Get on there and set the record straight boys and girls!
I like Leeson, he's a great guy and brilliant for the league.
Galway United fans on the other hand are scum of the earth.
All you have to look at Cobh Ramblers to see what happens when a club don't stay united. We are out of the league now over 3 years .. No supporters .. No club .. No money .. No lfuture .. Hope all goes well for Galway united .. Don't let uour club fold
