QuoteForgot about it being cancelled the first time. Still it will be close on 5 weeks before we get to play Shelbourne
Dundalk. Also, you played us at home on 8 September.Originally Posted by Battery Rover
how do you know? I'm a shareholder & I've no idea what our current financial position is?
Well ORA if we are in diffs i'm sure it would have been made clear by now. Also do you think Kenny would have signed players like Stewart and Dennehy if we were in trouble. I'm by no means saying everything is rosey, but with the McCourt deal and success lately surely you can see things should be going well for us.
Contract coming to an end. They were lucky in that they got the deal when they did, just months before our Euro run for 40k. I'm sure we can negotiate a greater deal next year with someone else.
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Well we've had plenty of income this past few weeks from gate receipts alone.
Iceman - those 2 game won't meet the Drogs wage bill for a week. Out of the bohs match you have to take the season tickets and Bohs will want their €10,000. The Setanta gate will have to be divided with Glentoran.
Derry aren't as financially healthy as you might think. I know they owe UCD money, and have heard rumours of more. The question is whether they're just struggling to make ends meet or in serious debt.
You can't spell failure without FAI
They're just that. Lets be honest, if we were in serious debt the board would be urging crowds to attend, have fundraisers all over the place etc..We made a tidy sum from both the McCourt and Sammon deal. Ticket prices were £25 and £20 for the Celtic game with an estimated 5000 there.
Thats more money. We had a good crowd in against Linfield on Monday night, thats more money in. Yes its going straight back out but I doubt we are in serious trouble
Those will help, but you'll forgive me for thinking of similar statements from Shels and Drogs fans in the past, to mention just two.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Thats fair enough but we're getting bigger crowds at the Brandywell than those 2 tbh. This isnt including half time draws, programme sales etc..They are poor atm but hopefully they will lift.
People are forgetting that although our squad and management team is full-time, our club is essentially part-time at administration level. There are only a few ful-time staff at our club, the rest are volunteers
You're probably not in serious trouble but didn't I read something about Derry cutting back for next year, going back to part time players?.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
[QUOTE=pineapple stu;1036553]Lost E2m last year; says it all really.
Good news for the league overall though.
Alot of people may loose their livelihood
The 'i told you so' feeling must make you feel all warm inside
I bet your the kind of smartarse who laughs at funerals.
we looked from Montrose to Swords, from swords to Montrose and from Montrose to Swords again but already it was impossible to spot UCDs right winger
Jack cleared our debts but we aren't in financial trouble because of our tight control on wages this year. We're paying out in one week what Drogheda are paying one of their high earners basically and the club has been run very well by everyone concerned this year. How come you don't mention that Wexford aren't in trouble because of Wallace? Or Rovers because the FAI picked up their bill for the Thomas Hardy nonsense?
Anyway, someone wake me up when the FAI promote us in place of Cork, Bohs, Drogs, Sligo or whoever the hell else goes bankrupt
Trust me CTID , Meteor have finished with Derry , no more money will be exchanged. My info is 100%.
It really would, there would have to be some sort of arrangements made to have Drogs in some shape or form.
I think we can safely say that Limerick aren't in fiancial bother - if you can afford to throw money away on coach trips to go on a short sightseeing tour in Wexford then all is well...
Kom Igen, FCK...
George O'Callaghan
George O'Callaghan trumps all, it's the new So's your face
You could write a book on that one alright Jebus.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Have Drogs any plans to back pay the players wages they arent going to pay?
It will be interesting to see what the PFAI have to say I remember them giving out about wage cuts
