Ah sure this rumour comes up every season. From the statements the club made earlier in the year we are staying firmly put. The DCC development plan draft as far as I know changed the zoning to recreational only (can't remember where I read that or how true it is. If anyone can verify please do.) Meaning Tolka Is staying. And Ossie it whoever isn't gonna be building apartments on it in the short term.

i think a lot of people will be surprised by the name of one of the players.

Is it Madden? I can't think of anyone else I'd be surprised by.

Jason Byrne was my guess to be one

not Madden - he is being paid. And i wouldnt be all too surprised if it was him as he comes across as a little <expletive>.

not Byrne, his contract expired and he's no longer at the club.

I don't think that. I asked you if you had additional knowledge, and what your view was.

I can only conclude that you want to play semantics. What else is this "I told you so" juvenile nonsense about?

It was a joke obviously. Christ.

Ah come on. It was clearly a joke based on the fact that the possible court case couldn't be till January. Lighten up!

I'll guess at Owen Heary. He has form for this type of thing.

More from McDonnell: Bohs basically saying they won't have any money until mid January, not especially critical of players who have taken action. "The club has informed the players truthfully and honestly regarding its financial situation." - But players feel club too inflexible

Fits in nicely, the 21 days and mid January. Bluff calling. Knowing Cronin though he'll get his money one way or the other.

Not necessarily, I know who one of the players is, and I know one who definitely isn't. The one who isn't is as unhappy and ****ed off by all accounts but wasn't ready to go down the legal route just yet. Now that the two guys have taken this step I'd say the others will wait in the wings, but aren't going to be too happy if Madden is the only player being paid to stop him ripping up his contract and walking away for free.

Don't they have to have at least an agreement reached over any unpaid wages by the end of December in order to get a Licence? Though I'm sure they'll be let away with it if they get it done the day before the Licencing Committee meets based on previous years.

I'd think you can stop worrying about Bohs being a Premier Division team next year, realistically it should never have been an option, was crazy of the board to announce 2 or 3 weeks ago that they were about to apply for a PD licence.

We'd be happy to have them in the First! Shels, Bohs, Drogs and Cork all in the First next year possibly. That's mad.

They should be heading for Division One after all this. They'll be a good replacement for Derry City in the division.

With only Shels in it in 2012.

Does it not worry you re Nutsy that your Captain is doing this? To me it would seem that Nutsy may well be off as I'm sure if he planned for both he and Heary to be there next season he would've sorted this out privately. Is this potential Euro scout job for Celtic a full time thing or can he manage Bohs as well if he gets it?

Ha, maybe not. The FAI are going to announce the LOI fixtures tomorrow, presumably with Bohs in the PD without yet having applied for a licence. Does that suggest the FAI are going to try their best to find a way to keep Bohs in the PD in a couple of months time? Seems very unlikely that Bohs would be able to or even want to play PD ball next year but I forgot you can't rule anything out with the FAI.

Spot on. This is a strategy to make sure Bohs weren't bluffing about paying them in mid January. Someone on our forum posted this earlier and it makes a lot of sense.

Quote:

None of the eejits on gypoweb seemed to have copped onto what this is all about. From Bohs own statement "The players were told that it would likely be mid-January 2011 when funds would be in place to back the offers." So in late December two unamed players issue a threat to have have a winding up order placed on the club in 21 days. Coincidently 21 days from yesterday is mid January so it doesn't take a genius to work out this is merely a strategy from the players/PFAI to make sure Bohs weren't bluffing when they said mid January and they will actually have to pay up now instead of kicking it down the line again to say mid February. Very clever strategy from the players, it has McGuinness' fingerprints all over it.

The players have called Bohs bluff now, pay up in mid January as promised or it's a winding up order and no LOI licence for you.
