Reported today that Shels been handed another tax bill of 110k & another winding up order possible.
Just one question - what the hell are Shels doing signing back players on fulltime contracts when they can't pay their other bills???
:rolleyes:

Sorry Shels fans, this is the last straw. Shles should be thrown out of the league right now. There is no way they could possibly meet any of the criteria for the new league at this stage. Surely Dundalk or Waterford should be given the chance now?
thy are just repeating past mistakes by signing players to full time contracts while at the same time ignoring having big tax bills.how many winding up orders are allowed to be served until something is done???is there a legal limit???how many have they been given in the past few months??
What little credibility Delaney's shiny new league has left will be destroyed if Shels are allowed to enter this season.Quote:

Shels fans - act now or your club will die. Loads of us have been saying this for a few years now. You've chosen to ignore us, this is your last chance.

Given the situation with DC last season where they folded the half way through the season the FAI have to ensure that all clubs that start the league will be able to finish this. I don't know if this covered in the licencing but the FAI must now take responsibility for accessing Shels accounts & receive weekly updates. The league would lose any remaining credibility if Shels folded in the middle of the season knowing its all preventable.Quote:

It is (and has been for some time now) common knowledge that they have been gambling on the 'holy grail' for years now with very limited success. You dance with the devil - expect to get burned.
Can't see the FAI refusing Shels a license, not since Delaney held them up as the way to go last year. Your man from Limerick must be loving this...
Oh and just on a point of order pete, Shels haven't signed anybody. They have the players that are left from last year with contracts. A fair few ex LOI-ers were training with them on Monday though
But if they have no team and no manager in a few weeks then how can the FAI not revoke their licence? The Setanta cup is only a month away. Doesn't give them much time to get their act together.Quote:

Personally, I do not want teams in the Premier Divison with money problems, if they are to be in the PD, They have to have some sort of points deduction, for getting in to this mess.
its a disgrace they were even allowed to lift the league title by getting a squad good enough to win yet not being able to pay their wages. Sure every club can do that.
Boss up until 2003 your club was financially struggling most seasons, I dont think you`re in any position to dish out advice to other premier division clubs.Quote:

Will do us no harm whatsover. Still a good buzz around the place after last seasons efforts, most fans were really impressed by the recovery after losing 8 of the first 11. We cant afford any slips ups this time around.Quote:

Shels players were paid for the 2006 EL season.
To say we didn't have the money is wrong.
The money should never have been spent but it's our money against the asset that his Tolka Park. The debts are still there and still very real and will be paid by a reduction in the final sale price.
The wage bill at present is mostly down to debts run up after the EL season. IF they are not paid I fully agree we should not take part in the 2007 EL but that takes nothing away from the 2006 League win.
Shels have not as yet wiped any debts and are still trading.
Nothing we did last year was in the slightest bit cheating.
It was wreckless, idiotic, stupid, madness, crazy, bananas, suicide, etc etc etc but it was money we have/had/will have.
It's any clubs right to sell their ground and fund 22 players to win the league. Only a mad man would do it but then that doesn't mean it's cheating.
If they were consistently paid in full and on time, then fair enough..Quote:

"our" money, shels/accolade is owned 99% by ollie - who is this "we" and "our" you speak of.Quote:
it's our money
you've got very little time Shels fans, get off your backsides and save your football club - forget europe, titles, Tolka... save your club

>You may have an asset worth X Million but its an asset, not cash.
As long the people who have agreed to buy the asset eventually for a certain price are willing to keep handing over money up front, its as good as cash.
This is same sort of "cash" that bankrolled Bohs last year and will bankroll them for the next few seasons.
However Shels prob now is that the buyers are no longer willing to continue to front money so their "cash" has in effect run out.

I do not know what you are talking about :rolleyes:Quote:

Have it from a revenue source..who said there is no winding up order for shels at the moment..this is media driven. There are debts and if they continue not to be paid then there MIGHT be a winding up order
