Is Ned Donavon the new chairman?
And if he is i am delighted at the initative he has shown in bringing Hendo back to the club much credit is due in securing the clubs future by first securing its manager
;)Ned has spent all his life involved in club and always had the club at heart.
This is the kind of Chairman that is needed.
IMO the club needs a chairman from outside the circle who will bring clarity and honesty to the position. The days of having 'average joe' in charge have to come to an end. No more relatives - a club run professionaly with no emotion.(OFF the pitch anyway)
Can u inform me why the chairman have so much power in cobh ramblers. In most clubs and commettes a chairman chairs the meeting and have only the casting vote ,
In most small organisations, probably including a good chunk of LoI clubs, there's one guy who does about half the work. Often he has far more effective power than his title implies. Lots of people like that in this league.Quote:

Why can't our club just let what happens happen!!!
Yes you would be correct if the chairman owned the club and invested his own money. But the chairman is elected by the members in the club to be a part of a commette who run the club for the members.Quote:

Are you rambling again, what is wrong with a club or commette trying to hold onto one of their best assets. The Current Manager.Quote:

any update on when the information meeting is going to be, we were promised one within 2 weeks at the last one and then i heard there was going to be one a week after the last game of the season.
Are we going to be informed or just kept in the dark by the committee.We have no manager, all players out of contract,alledgedly no sponsor for next season, huge debts owed and no way of paying them off.
Time for hard decisions to be made if we are to have a LOI team next season
Posters in the club said within 7 days of the last game.Quote:

as for sponsor, we signed a huge deal with goodyear for one year (they were never gonna give us that deal on a 2 years basis) and if we ramained a premier division club we would get a great deal next year, unfortunately we were relegated, so well take a hit in sponsorship (more than likely goodyear will still be here next year we just have renegotiate with them)
the meeting still hasnt been set from what i heard monday,
whats the panic, the season doesnt start for 4 months,
relax
Was a meeting lastnight between the ticket sellers of the monthly draw,a few of the usuals dropped out and wont take part with the current regime so at the mo theirs no draw,it really cant continue the way it is there has to be common sense and change I for one will find it hard to support Rams next season unless the chairman steps down.
so basically there saying the chairman is bigger than the clubQuote:

who the hell wound you up, all these issues are being taken care of, what do you want, daily reports from each commitee member on what theyve done today, these issues come up every single year and are always sorted out in time,Quote:

we owe money, same as every single club in the world,
not wound up at all just stating reality of the situation, as far as i know there doesnt seem to be a whole pile being done but what is the way out of it DR, no training pitch to sell to pay tax man, huge debts owed to numerous companies, companies slashing sponsorship budgets all over the country, banks not lending money. We owe money like all clubs but we have no means to pay it back. not havin a pop at you but the club, committee and members need to wake up pretty quicklyQuote:

we all know people call the commitee muppets, and what have ya, but do you honestly think there deliberately trying to bury this club,
we have a sizeable debth that will take years to pay off, no question about it, all we can do as fans is support the club as best we can
Yes, there is a sizeable debt there, but what is the club doing about it? Anytime there is a meeting it turns into a slagging match. No one is coming out and saying how much is owed, who it is owed too and what the club is doing about it. If a plan of action isn't put in place shortly, the club won't get a T.V. licence, never mind a 1st or premier licence.:ball:Quote:
