Oh dear, apparently Ruadhraí O'Connor in tomorrow's Indo will be revealing that "after #bohs seemed to be moving on yest, they took a step back today. Find out more in tomorrow's Indo"
He could just mean Bohs are in for Gary O'Neill i.e. going back to a former player.Quote:

JUST a day after they announced their new squad for this season, the financial clouds descended once again on Bohemians as they failed to pay the final amount due to the 2010 squad as scheduled, writes Ruaidhri O'Connor ...
Will the FAI turn another blind eye?
According to the article, the taxpayer has a charge on Dalymount Park in relation to the potential repaying of grants. The article goes on to say that Bohemians want the government to lift this charge so that the fans who took out loans have rank higher in the event of insolvency.
Why should the government lift their charge? Do they consider the interests of Bohs more important than those of hard pressed taxpayers in a bankrupt country?
I can only imagine what fans of Galway Utd are thinking as they watch this farce continue.
Joke of a club
I keep wondering what movie title best suits this and the LOI - Neverending Story?
You really have to wonder why the club didn't have a transfer embargo imposed on them until they paid off their existing player contracts. What a disgrace that Galway were booted out of the league yet Bohs got a premier licence.
I wonder if the FAIlure have looked at Galway and said right 3 teams thare tooo many lets shaft the frist one that slips up with licence application !!!!Quote:

One rule for one club, one for another.... :(
It's a Wonderful Life.Quote:

People don't seem to get that the 2 situations are completely different. Sure there should be rules against whats going on but while there aren't Bohs are in the clear until they breach a rule.
The licening committee has been shown up to be an absolute joke. What we should have done with our footballing creditors is, take out a big loan, commit to paying people what they're actually owed, renege on the payment due to footballing creditors. Go out and stage a press conference and sign 10 players.Quote:

The Tax certificate was an unfortunate event, something that was out of GUST's hands. That has been rectified now and we are hopeful of attaining a Premier Division licence.
But, excuse us for actually COMMITING to paying off our creditors, instead of making up bull**** agreements that we had no intention of adhering to. The Trust's only real crime in this is being realist. We have only paid out what we have got in and we do NOT take out loans.
It really is hard to understand, do you actually believe the criteria that Bohs presented to the FAI was RIGHT and proper? They have already reneged on a payment after 4 days of being awarded a licence!!!!!
All we want is FAIR PLAY.
