First of all I was like.. :eek:
But then I realised it was a different Roddy.. :o :D
Yeah, on second thoughts, maybe a clearer thread title is in order...
AGM last Monday :eek:
He must be getting paid a fortune, he gave up Chairman of Derry to spend more time with family, wonder will he try to entice kenny back to bohs. they had a great understanding togetherQuote:

He's now unemployed and presumably needs to earn like the rest of us.
To quote someone on the City forum, get in there Jim and finish the [insert swear word of choice]'ers off...
Bohs have cut their underage programme to employ him as front man for the other directors who won't be too welcome around Dalymount by the looks of things.
No they did not.Quote:

Gosh. Did someone take your FAI Cup or something?
Bohs Players and Managment living in La La Land. They have refused the wage cuts despite the fact that their club is in dire financial Straits.
They quite rightly pointed out that the same time that the club was looking to cut their wages, they were attempting to sign new players and launch very expensive supreme court proceedings. Bohs have only 12 players contracted for next year.Quote:

he also thought that Drogheda went about things in the correct manner, and would be all for relegating sligo and promoting waterford or limerick for his AILQuote:

I think it was his point stu...
When you take Bohs current position into account, there is no (additional) downside possible as they are all in on a pair of twos.Quote:

I think he genuinely means Roddy could be good for Bohs, whereas I'm mockingly saying they're suited to each other.Quote:
