Fair enough but because of the events of ten years ago and the near demise of the club, there is still no appetite for spending more than we can earn. With no sugar daddy, investment company or €5 million soft loan we can only rely on what we can raise from members fees, fundraising, gate receipts and sponsorship. That puts us at the lower end of signing power and if it wasn`t for Long and Crolly doing such an excellent job, we would be struggling with relegation every year. If, and its a big if, Dublin City Council get their act together and build a new stadium, then the ambition will be for much bigger crowds to be challenging for honours every year.Quote:

Your board need to look for a suger daddy willing to buy in but leave control with the members,
Shels are on the way up and with their sugar daddy investor will have the pick of the returning kids from England for next season as well as the best of the dublin players not playing full time with Rovers or Pats.
A strong shels will make 3rd from bottom harder to achieve.
I'd rather have bohs in the Premier than Shels (old scars) but unless your board wake up you will find yourselves in the first division.....with your principles intact
The League is changing , Peak 6 is just the start
Investors will only invest if there is money to be made. So far there is no evidence that there is any money in LOI football, except for the odd exception. There is little to no football 'industry' in Ireland. There is only 1 other sport in Ireland that has been able to make a fist of professionalism - and that is Rugby and even that is basically a centrally funded model that has no chance of survival in football.Quote:

You seem to be under the impression also that 3rd from bottom is the height of our ambitions. Recent seasons should have thought you that is nonsense. Let Shels break the bank again chasing the rainbow, I'm far more comfortable with what we are doing.
Remember, we have 2 years in Tolka to plan for, revenue streams are going to be slashed. We have rainy day plans in place to try and counter this.
Getting sugar daddies in, borrowing money to fund a title challenge is pie in the sky stuff.
You don't have to invest in the first team, rovers have invested circa 1 million in the academy and infrastructure,
Throwing money at the first team would be daft but investing in the right areas with some support for the first team is a viable stratagy
As I said above I would rather have bohs in the premier then shels and when shels get promoted a very modest investment will Hoover up the best returning kids who are currently going to bohs.
Bankruptcy and relegation still hunting dear ?Quote:

Judging by accumulated losses on your accounts, this new found fiscal rectitude regarding first team spending is indeed welcome, if a little hard to believeQuote:

I could talk about employing players with convictions for sexual offences, selling your ground twice, etc etc. We are all sinners in some way or other.
Shouting at each other about it is like two bald men fighting over a comb.
My original comment was a concern that bohs are at risk from shels. Sorry I bothered ....
This is a typical disparaging and dismissive response when you are called out on a comment you have made.Quote:

Assuming the DCC get the stadium built it's an opportunity for a team to reap those kind of opportunities- you better hope it's youse instead of shels.
LOL and the voice of reason shows up.Quote:

You've mentioned that before sbgawa here a few times to stoke up some sort of fear of Shels masked as concern for Bohs... assuming for a second you are being sincere and want to talk about this... how sustainable is the Shels model? What is the short and long term vision there (outside of "fck Bohs' sh!t up, fam")? All I see is money being p!ssed against the wind. Again.Quote:
