Bohs 2007 Accounts

[jinxy lilywhite]

True about this year in parts, but he is the manager for Bohs this year and if he was any type of decent manager in my opinion he would cut back and sort out the clubs infrastructure hence the players wage bill.
Plans for a new bigger stadium also means time for a change in the club to stay up at the top how they are now not in a year or two being docked points because of Fenlons poor handling of wages and debt.
Look at any club been long time back to back titles for anyone reason why it cant be done poor handling of players wages *just because won league does not mean a bigger contract so club can go in debt* and spending on ridiculous players that never seen before and end up in reserves costing club thousands.

Im no fan of fenlon but I don't think its his job to control wages of players. The board dictate what the wage budget is and Fenlon has to work within that. I suppose as far as he is concerned as long as he isn't over budget on players wages then the board have sufficient income coming in.

I've read that post 3 times and each time it gets more confusing.
Are you drunk?

Whats there not to understand? Managers ruin the league and Fenlon is the biggest *** for doing so. Managers can cut the players wage bill instead of increasing it every year just because they won a cup or league. By doing this the clubs debt is going to increase.
Point of thread is Clubs cant handle their finances...

Managers ask the committee/board for a budget. The committee/board decide how much to give him. Strong directors are what's needed

[sonofstan]

As a members club if Bohs go to the wall, they can't blame anybody but themselves

We can blame each other... which is slightly different.

No they don't. The boards ruin the league. Is it Fenlons fault that Shels went to the wall because the board couldn't pay the debts?
Was it Dave O'Leary's fault that Peter Ridsdale borrowed money from bank on the future assuarance that Leeds would be Champions League regulars?
Is it Alan Matthews fault for Corks current predicament?
Is it Paul Cooks fault Sligo are where they are?
Clubs don't go to the wall because of a manager purchasing players and paying wages. The board dictates the budgets and if they get it wrong then its the boards fault. The buck stops with them.

Fenlon had nearly a squad to play 3 teams at once Fenlon goes to board asks can i buy player board obviously not knowing much about a players ability in say hmm *serbia* Fenlon watches him train buys him leaves him on bench its twice as bad when got board who know nothing about their job then got a manager who certainly wastes the boards money on players do not will not need play.

I really couldn't understand that.
No I don't think its the managers problems. Its whoever sanctioned the transfer who is at fault. As was said earlier strong directors is whats needed. most clubs allow managers to sign who they want but most/every club has a budget that has to be enforced and obeyed. So no i don't accept that argument that its the managers fault if a team goes belly up

[pete]

Mistake me if im wrong but does every club Fenlon goes to they seem to go bankrupt or they are in debt big time? *Shels* *Bohs* and of course *Derry* who went to the moles when he came.

Fenlon is to management what Dave Mooney is to player. Mooney has 100% asterisk record though.

Ehrm. What in the name of sweet suffering Mary are you talking about?

On the question at hand, if Bohs go to the wall - which is the concern of this thread - then little blame lies with Pat Fenlon, just as little to blame was he for Shelbournes ills (Derry,...?). The book stops firmly at the board. If they don't have their shít together then it is there that the blame lies. Simple as.

and mooney even threw a hissy fit last week at tolka, what a money grabber. is he worth it, in a nutshell, no!

Matthew's isn't far behind! Possibly the whole credit crunch is his fault too.

Mooney was in Reading last week & was suspended for the Rovers v City Cup game.

You have lost me now.

[the-blue-harp]

sorry i was thinking on gamble then! i apologise!!

Giving his background, this is entirely believable.

[MariborKev]

Getting back on topic.

Any Bohs fans know how you raised revenue from rental, as it is a sizeable amount?

[pineapple stu]

Renting the car park to the Mater, as far as I'm aware.

[OT]If Fenlon cut back on what he was given to spend, and ended up in a realistic position for a club Bohs' size (i.e. mid-table, takes shelter ), he'd be sacked and replaced with someone who would spend the money. Blaming the manager is nonsensical[/OT]

[higgins]

There's a lot more other than players wages that a manager has input into. Sending players off for tests every time they sneeze is not good practice. Medical bills at Shels were through the roof... Paying for overnight stays for non important games, meals at expensive places, expensive hotel stays. Having to workout at the most expensive gym in town etc etc

You can't blame the manager for a clubs problems but some of them certainly don't help matters.

We called it Joey Ndo fees.

There is also Sean Connors court case which he looks like he will win .The sum there is anywhere between €150k and €250K plus Chris Turners Pay off estmated at €100k plus. Looks like licencing next year will be fun and im including ourselves in that.

If you believe Chris Turner got paid off with 100k your stupid.
