"Bray Latest Team in"

What exactly is that supposed to mean? English, you speak it?

Not surprised to hear about the money trouble. Their crowds seem to be getting worse as the season goes on.

**superfrank** · 27/10/2008, 2:14 PM

No surpirse at all. Our crowds are terrible and we have a fairly big squad.

Hopefully, we stay up and get rid of some players.

**Candystripe** · 27/10/2008, 2:22 PM

Looks like the end of high wages for players and smaller squads as well. Is it only Pats and the big pub who now have either a sugar daddy or a massive overdraft?

Everyone else now are trying to live within their means!

**superfrank** · 27/10/2008, 3:22 PM

The fact is a lot of clubs are overspending and there's not enough fans to support the league.

The clubs need to cop on.

**Terry** · 27/10/2008, 3:25 PM

the support is there if the football was at a higher level. The "Real Fact" is that there are far to many poor/average players in the league getting paid to much money !

Spot on. id imagine a lot fo clubs will be taking big cuts this year.

Our rumoured wages(including backroom staff) was over 50k a week this year. Next year it is to be cut to between 15 and 20k.

There'l be a lot of players free and only one club in a position to pay big money. Wages will certainly be coming down

So that leaves us, Rovers, UCD, and Wexford that haven't been in financial trouble this year.

It's like an Irish version of Battle Royale

When were City in trouble this season ? *

* a few idiots on here misreading an SK interview to speculate that we'd have to go part-time next season does not equate to financial troubles....

**passerrby** · 27/10/2008, 4:21 PM

agree steve i should have included them. very few of us rock solid clubs left... maybe we should consider setting up our own league

Four other teams pay out more in wages than Bohs.

Could Derry be one of the teams paying out more??

Looks that way considering dungannon and other clubs are still waiting for transfers fees

sorry steve i have to withdraw my offer to you until you can furnish me with proof of your financial sustainability

**Ceirtlis** · 27/10/2008, 4:55 PM

I think i remember Eddie Gormley giving out a few weeks ago that there were teams above them in the league that were there due to overspending while Bray had stayed sensible. It is hard to budjet though for the attendances they have been getting in fairness.
