So one of Bray, Sligo, Waterford or Fingal are going to be in Europe next year

Thats a nice little earner for one of those clubs.

The only way it wont affect ye, is if your budgeted income was as high as expected, and expenditure is as low.

Budgets are great, but rarely followed in the LOI

Have ye been getting crowds ye expected etc?

If not, getting knocked out could play a big part in putting ye over the 65%

It's 35% short of 100%?

You, big you ya.

**Dunny** · 15/09/2009, 9:34 PM

I think Sligo deserve to win this considering the teams they have went through.

Just hope it ain't Fingal.

**micls** · 15/09/2009, 9:34 PM

Hmm, well thats the '6 steps to europe out the window'.
Bad night for us, Euopr and Setanta both probably gone.

I know but you have a weaker side this year. It would be more of an achievement this time around.

Yeah, especially compared to us beating Bluebell, Tralee and Longford.

Delighted to get through, especially after Longford gave us such a close run tonight. They did really well tonight and should have scored way earlier than they did.

Not sure if name calling is the right way to go about it buddy.

i edited that post fairly sharpish so im pretty sure you typed that last bit in yourself. Either way, could you remove it from your post please?

MICLS, if we didnt budget for winning the cup then i cant see that it will affect us greatly. Unless im reading it incorrectly, it is only sanctions for clubs that exceed 65% of income as per the budget as approved by the FAI and not the actual final figure?

**sonofstan** · 15/09/2009, 9:42 PM

Sligo are now going to have to cope with being favourites.

Nope, the sanctions are for real figures afaik, not the budget.

**Lamper.sffc** · 15/09/2009, 9:47 PM

That's hilarious, did you not know? I am part of the referee assosiation that is plotting against You, Bohs, Derry, Dundalk, Sean Connor and Roddy Collins. We mean business, next in our list is to go to peoples homes and tickle their feet with feathers, pure evil im sure you will agree, You.

okay, maybe, but doesnt that mean that clubs cant therrefore be sanctioned until accounts are finalised, signed off, filed etc which, and i could be wrong, arent filed until next year?

This may have been discussed before, but would the Europa League place not go to the runners up?

Thats disappointing. At least we gave a good account of ourselves.

I honestly dont know.Can anyone clarify.

But if they were just based on budget, everyone could just overbudget and overestimte crowds etc to get around it, making it redundant. Now I dont have much faith in the FAI but surely they're not that slow
