and if you want to be nit-picky we have a lot more derby games then any of the two teams you mentioned

Our closest trip is roughly 4 hours by bus return, be it Galway or Derry.
Then all the rest are at least 6 hours return to Dublin/Louth/Wicklow.
That is every other week, so dont play the travel card.

I'm not considering friendlies, but playing 10 more games than most teams in Europe this year, was and is a great experience. I wouldn't want to give it up just to play a league side for the 4th time in a few months.

2011 accounts won't be released until the AGM in January or Feburay 2012. The club has been making a profit the past 5-6 years except for 2008 I think

Can't believe we could have qualified for this at the end of the season but instead stuck out reserve teams. (Although to be honest, we might not have qualified for it anyway).

We made a profit of over €70k in 2007, made a loss of nearly €250k in 2008. (just as an example)

A poster asked for the latest official figures from our last AGM so I provided it.
As for the justification for raising our budget as I said all indications are that we made another healthy profit last year again.
Now obviously nobody here will have the official figures until the next AGM so until then its idle speculation and all we can work with is the solid facts at are disposal and one of them is our financial stability over the past few years.

Well, the board are then putting up the budget on the assumption that they made a profit from last season without actually knowing for sure? Makes it even more crazy.

Shouldn't you or Mr Anus be off begging Dahamsta for a new fund raising thread.
Not enough that he removed three of them until he finally capitulated.;)
At least the persistence paid off.

Because I start fundraising threads? Suppose if they're removed it clears the way for the annual Sligo 'handouts wanted' thread.

Haha wow even for this site your stupidity is breath taking.
The board know last seasons finances, I was merely pointing out that the posters here dont and anything else is idle speculation.
Really quite breath taking you came to that conclusion.

Really? I dont question you, they are probably all floating about with all those facts vindicating your "Harps regularly out-numbered the home fans in the showgies".

Warning -- only those with logic and irony deficit should give this nonsense a second look.

Gone seriously off topic here lads. As regards O'Neill leaving Shams, some sportscaster talking today that if O'Neill gets NI job in front of Magilton then the latter might be offered Shamrock Rovers job?

Seems Kenny has been in talks with Shamrock Rovers for the last 48 hours, so could be confirmed in the coming days.

Can we ask Dahamsta to re-open the Dumbass thread?

This sort of childish sh!te on here just turns everyone against Sligo Rovers and I know for a fact that, contrary to the behaviour of some of the Sligo posters on here, the vast majority of Sligo fans are sound. Such a pity.

Back on topic(ish), it looks like the muckers are already looking at options to replace Kenny with Pizza mentioned as a potential candidate.

SRFC board member saying we are nowhere near appointing a manager, could be a smoke screen incase an agreement cant be met

If he goes, we get some money from Shams so that's something, although SK has in previous years threatened to leave to get a bigger budget so I reserve judgement just yet. The ultras forum shows just how fickle football fans can be, months ago they wanted SK and Zayed dead, now there commending SK's loyalty to his players and considering how good an addition to their team Zayed will be:D

he was offered the job before o'neill and turned it down at the last minute, rovers are a different prospect then we were 3 years ago so the offer might be more tempting. btw not all would be happy with SK's arrival or EZ possible arrival.

Kenny I've not much problem with. I remain to be convinced about Zayed in terms of ability. He wouldn't be my first, second or third choice to pilfer from the Brandywell. Even Eoin Doyle scored nearly 20 goals last season thanks to Galway/UCD. Zayed's sister however would have a lot of making up to do.
