Sorry, forgot you knew all along what was happening at Bohs last season but just didn't want to admit it on here. Anyway, people aren't stupid believing that figure and I assume you guys had a chuckle when you read it. A lot of people supporting Rovers and Pats know Ger well and know how much he's always hated Bohemian fc. There's only one reason he'd turn down Pats for Bohs, ching ching.Quote:

Being fair, Ken Oman is from Finglas but has ALWAYS followed Rovers..In fact he's playing for them for free
"....when you see people coming into the club and handing over money that they do not have.." Pat Fenlon
So its not just Bohemian FC but the fans also, must be something in the air 'round Phibsborough
Its no more than the 7k per week budget mentioned by Dundalk fans as being theirs for the season. Do you have trouble believing that too?Quote:

to avoid all the needless tarting around im doing - i find 250k to be a plausible playing budget. What now? Did the sky fall in?
Can you answer my question now?
Imo as Dundalk have more players signed than last year then it is logical that there has been some increase in playing budget, closer to 8k possibly.
At the moment there is no Brian or Barry Murphy in the squad. Heary is the only one that may be on a 52 week contract. Daniel Joyce is on loan.Quote:

250k may well be a plausible playing budget for Bohs in their current finanical circumstances, but I find it hard to accept that you believe that this is the actual reality - the numbers just dont add up in relation to the signings!!Quote:

please share those numbers with everyone so we can all be as informed as you Ezeikial. Otherwise, youre best to let this lie until you can back up your unfounded speculation.Quote:

I don't know (and never claimed to know) what any Bohs player was being paid. If you read post #1193 you can easily understand the maths.Quote:

I have no problem letting it lie and wish Bohs all the best for the season ahead
If you read my response you will see just how far off you were in post 1193.Quote:

Whose assumptions are more reasonable?
Thanks for the well wishes though (if sincere!) and best of luck to Dundalk too. I have a few quid on ye and think you'll do well.
