Yeah, the journo's all came up with the same line, independently without any spinning from anyone...Quote:

Excellent Article on We Play Fridays :D

Do you actually know anything?Quote:

Amusing seeing you ramble on about something you appear to know so little about but suggest you may be ruining the image of shams "knowing everything about Bohs" that some on here like to imagine.
No no, just wondering if you know anything about why we haven't done what you lot have done and as you say 'start again'Quote:

If you took the blinkers off I actually meant why wasn't an EGM called for a few weeks ago when everyone knew the budget figures were a fairytale?Quote:

Wow, that a tough one to call. again why would members call an EGM when the AGM was scheduled for last Monday night anyway ? Are you really silly enough to believe Fenlon is leaving because Bohs are spending too much ?Quote:

Maybe its because due to Dalymount we cant just stiff our creditors (including players) like shams did. Maybe its because we want to do our best to honour our commitments and not walk away from them like shams did. Maybe we do not see misapprpriating public funding as a business option. Maybe we are still not in as bad a position as shams were in 2005 (have not noticed any orders for Tippex at Dalymount yet). Maybe a combination of several/all of theseQuote:

The fact that you can "fold the club" at any time because you have little in the way of assets is not quite the same as "well run" or indeed constitute a "great situation".
Tom Coughlan did. supposed to have thrown it in the bin as soon as it was reviewedQuote:

About 2 months ago Bohemians paid their players a percentage of the money they owed them for next season, it was that or they got nothing. Obviously there's bigger payments to be made in the future, but I hardly think Bohs are above trying to renegotiate their debt when they did just that about 8 weeks ago.Quote:

REALLY!!!!!
And you think that racking up even more debt by signing up some of the best players in the league when as per usual you can't afford them will help you to honour your commitments????
