Read my comparison again.

Gustavo, the amount of times you have beaten us in the last 15 months is hardly a measure of how "Big" either club is. That is measured by a combination of many factors, but all you have to do is ask any player if they'd rather play for Bohs or Sligo Rovers, that should tell you.

Players in Ireland would probably pick you because of the fact you are in Dublin and so are most players in the eL based
Players out of Ireland will have heard of neither.

Some would have through Irish players some would no doubt be aware of our European pedigree. Even those who hadn't, after touring the facilities that are at the disposal of both our clubs would pick us. Of course being in Dublin will always be an advantage in that respect.

There, you got it in a nutshell and its the money. Especially to the likes of Manseram and Sickly Singh, they couldnt give a rats arse about Bohs. Bigger notes elsewhere and they be out the door.

But he'd probably have nicked the pork off some other butcher. Or got Gerry Cassidy to source it for him because he wouldn't know a pig if it grunted at him.

We were a big club even when we were in financial difficulties. Drogheda have money. They are not a big club. Its a combination of factors as I said. Money is one of them yes but so what. Its our money. Its not money from a sugar daddy its us cashing in on an asset that is ours and we control. Thats part of us, not someone buying into the club. In that respect we are the biggest club in the LOI. In terms of history, trophies its Shamrock Rovers. But when you combine all the different factors like the two mentioned, with average league positions, famous former players, European progress, name recognition, control over our own destiny/ground's destiny, future potential etc. We are the biggest. Only Linfield on this Island can boast being a bigger club than us, yet in other ways we trump them too.

Well the Aberdeen one came up in a pub conversation I had in Edinburgh recently. Also our 3-2 win over Rangers in 1984 would be famous enough over there.
On a recent trip to London I went to a Crystal Palace game and in the Pub before hand we were chatting away with some palace fans, and my mate who lives in London pointing to me says "his club just made a fortune selling their ground" a palace fan turns around immediately and asks if I support "The Bohs"?

Can we please get back to the topic!?!?!

In the Champion today that Rovers will try and squeze every bit of money they can out of Bohs for the transfer.

Good luck to Turner if he's going to get 4K a week. We'd all change jobs for that sort of pay raise. He could have handled the move better but keep playing him if he does the business on the pitch.Hard to see how the move will improve him as a player though,cos he didn't stand out last season

Also is he any better than O'Grady, Hughes, Raf, Coleman, Peers or Faz from the present team.

i said the best player that i saw in a rovers shirt..

and yes, he is the best player in the current squad

however I think Faz, Peersy, Seamie and Judgie are very close behind him.

Heard Cotteril was suppose to be coming over to watch Turner play against Shams,but because of way Turner handle the whole affair Cook decided to leave him out of squad and on the Bus told Turner of this missed oppertunity.Fair play to Cookie I say was big decision to make.Sign of a man not afraid of making the hard decicsion.

Alex Rae was there last night taking notes not sure who he is working for now , turner played up front when he came on for faz , the bench last night was Turner, Foy, Curran, Raf and acraba probably the best subs ever for rovers.

Rae manages Dundee. I think a move to them from Rovers would be a fairly big step down.

The only team with that kinda money is Pats and he's already signed a pre-contract with us, so I doubt he's going there.

I wouldn't believe anything from him. He's as crazy as he looks.

The standard in the Eircom League is higher than that of the Scottish first division.

Remember it was the contract he was offered at Bohs that frightened us off.

I don't for one minute believe that we could out bid you when it comes to wages or transfer fee's.

Of course you couldn't, but Connor obviously rates him higher than McDonnell.

Bohs don't nesicarily have all that to spend at the minute. I assume they are taking out loans to fund all their purchaces with the aim to pay them off as soon as they move ground. Doesn't some of the 50mil they sold their ground for have to go toward the building of their new home?
Bohs would want to be carefull they don't go bannana's spending money, it has to run out some time. They need to spend wisely while they have it (that meens not giving Connor mad funds for players)

The money for the building of the stadium will never be at the disposal of the board which is a good thing, the developer buying Dalyer will build the stadium as part of the deal. I agree we need to be careful and need to spend wisely. We have some of the money now and we'll get a certain amount over the next few years with a lump sum upon the completion of the deal .
