A lot depends on whether he started getting paid his new wages or not. Agreed on the second part anyway.

Agreed.

Pretty sure reality won't believe them though.

Quite possible that, yet again, when we thought Bohs had screwed things up as much as possible, they screw things up even more as only they know how.

Bohemians
Recently expressed concern that they may not be able to sign any players for the 2009 season after a rejected budget from the Licensing department. However, Bohemians have exploded back onto the market after the contracted staff, led by manager Pat Fenlon, took a wage cut, while new signings will increase the potential of extra revenue through trophy success and gate receipts and further ease budgetary concerns.

Apparently Bohs are trying to convince the league that last year's double winning side wasn't exciting enough, and this years newly bolstered team will be increasing gate receipts. The bizarre thing is that the Licensing committee may well belive them.

Yeah, its a hoot alright. Looks like we`ve already spent our 2009 prizemoney!I reckon the Journo must have attended one of Felim`s liquid lunches.

**Longfordian** · 30/01/2009, 2:47 PM

I love the way they're described as having "exploded back on to the market". You'd swear they'd come up with some signings that have "rocked Irish football" in tabloid parlance.

**Jersey Cow** · 30/01/2009, 2:54 PM

Shelley, Keegan, Byrne, Ndo, Rowe, Matt Gregg....they'd challenge for a place in any side and their wages would also ...in England!!!
Laughable really, wonder is the journo trying to say something without saying anything re Bohs relationship with the FAI??!!!

Waterford United are not in severe danger of failing to be awarded a club licence.

People in Athlone are trying to work out where the �24,000 figure has come from. I was under the impression that the patron fund had stablised the club and as this was ring-fenced to settle outstanding debts one of which was player's unpaid wages then this would be the first debt to be settled. There will be major rumblings in the Town if it turns out that Athlone Town have failed to pay the players.

Is anyone else sceptical or wondering where the indo got its info from...do you really believe the licencing committee went out and released this sort of info before they've decided on licences and before the application deadline!or even do you believe each individual club came out and said they owed this to x and that to y!!

I don't know about the first division, but I'd be very surprised if all 10 premier clubs didn't get licenses to compete in the division.

**Black and White** · 30/01/2009, 11:13 PM

But you have to ask...where did the Indo get its info??All Dudnalk supporters are dumbfounded to this outstanding wages melarky owed to a former player!!news to everyone!!

**adamd164** · 30/01/2009, 11:19 PM

Don't read too much into it I'd say.

We'll see in a couple of weeks.

That was Roddy Collins' argument anyway.

Waterford United have responded to suggestions that they may be in danger of receiving a license to participate in the League of Ireland this season.

I take it the rest of the First Divsion are on course to recieve Licenses as they have only mentioned 3 clubs in possible trouble.

**Buile Shuibhne** · 31/01/2009, 5:14 PM

Story in today's Irish Sun that Cork City backroom staff who were owed money. last week received cheques from the club shop account which subsequently bounced?

Also, some players who were also due money, received cheques on Friday afternoon - too late to lodge/cash in the banks?

Any truth in this?

That was my thought as well Dodge.

However I now believe that Ahern has a tenuous grasp of the licensind and therefore tried to expalin it with the ****** above.It is obvious from the rest of the summaries he doesn't have a clue.
