A thought just occured to me. are the men in power at the brandywell practicing some kind of Dark Magic. last year cork pip them to the league on the last day and fall apart the following season this year Shels pip them on the last day and they'll be lucky to be in existance come the start of the next season. only hope they dont finish second to bohs next year they'll probably put a spell on dalymount to make it unsuitable for development
Strange Hey?
In a word, yes.Quote:

Who cast a spell on Dalymount? Perhaps Derry used their dark magic on Kenny, while he was still in charge at Bohs.
I would say your safe enough. I dont think Derry will finish in the bottom half of the table.:pQuote:

No excuses at all. Read again what I said....Quote:

We have loads of money. Therefore we have loads of Cocaine. Are we signing Barry Ryan?
what money
your draw down is 1.2 mill a year is it not....just about covers the costs (of a manager out of his depth and agang of culchie players)
then you need rezoning out in teh sticks, rezoning of dalynmount, planning permission and the property developer to still get his pound of flesh, there's no 40mill crock of gold yet.
good luck though - seriously.
No. Once we get the go ahead "in the sticks" we get the money. We don't have to wait for the developer to get his permission. Its all in the deal.Quote:

Plus - I don't believe they have access to the first wedge of this cash yet to buy players anyway.
And for every manager who does win a league in their first season, there's about 100 who don't..... :rolleyes:
Im not saying he will - I am saying is that recent trends in the el suggest your most likely to win a league in your first season with a new club - Dolan and Fenlon had achieved less than O Connor as managers when they won the league and were even more unproven in that sense. Bohs have IMO got the better players from shels as I rate Heary as the best EL player of the last few years, by some distance.Quote:

Bohs will probably bag Crowe and maybe Byrne - so yes - they've done better than us out of the shels implosion.
Drogs will romp home anyway so this is all academic.
There are 21/22 clubs in the league, and in an average year up to 10 or so new managers.Quote:

Unless, of course, you're Pat Scully.Quote:
