* finances went wrong when clubs got caught up in the celtic tiger and challenging for Europe

* the revenue is actually bankrolling certain clubs (eg Cork City)
* facilities not as good as GAA
* on a positive note the quality of football has improved dramatically
- next up Steve Mc Guinness (players Union)
greetings from New York btw
Drogs only got 20% wages last week...
im delighted for ya Doolin!! :D
Steve McGuiness
* not the players fault (clubs finding loopholes to bypass wage guidelines)
* players just simply negotiating as much as the market will allow
* league is in meltdown / players aren't being paid / clubs should be sanctioned and have their licenses withdrawn / a lot of players will go to the UK next year
Emmet Malone knows all but knows nothing at the same time. Having a go at clubs on one hand then making out that European results are paramount on the other hand to the future of the league.
Fran Gavin is an idiot,without doubt he does not know what he is doing:(.
Yes i agree with that actually i thought the Shels guy spoke well enough.Quote:

yep, flip flopped about players wages helping the clubs improve and then forcing clubs under tooQuote:

I despair!!
The P1 proposal was hair-brained and an idea that should have been disposed of a hell of a lot sooner than it was.
Fully agree he is a w@nker.Quote:

He's also able to double up his agent work with sitting on tribunals that decide the careers of his clients. I'm hazey on the details but Stephen Paisley would be able to tell you more...Quote:
