If the FAI dont have the cash, where does that leave Bohs?
1) extinction
2) obscurity in the 1st Division

Picture this all the chairmen of Loi at a function. One says to the Other "You'll be next"
Fvckin joke of clubs. Nobody in the top tier can manage finances (Exceptions Pats (though being bankrolled) Shamrock Rovers and UCD).
If this is what clubs need to be brought back down to earth then so be it. Forget these European Pipe dreams folly that we can get a team in the group stages on the Champions league or UEFA cup.
No wonder the league is the laughing stock of Irish sport
Long Live King Kenny
Actually Shels will more likely be in the A Championship than the premier league next season.....

You seem to be very confident of this randomcomment, care to elaborate a bit?.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

They've stayed off the radar this season dodge.
Back to Bohs.
What are the implications for them?
Would it be highly unlikely that they can continue?
If carroll gets his legals cost awarded to bohs and bohs will have to repay the money he leant? No judge would approve that to have a chance of survival should they want to go into examinership? would they
Long Live King Kenny
Tehy can't go into examinership because they have the assets to repay all debts. It just means selling Dalymount. Which is what they may well have to do. And so just as Rovers get a new ground, Bohs start off on the homeless route.
They can share with Rovers, it would be like the perfect odd couple. One could make a show about it.
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
You'd have to have Danny Dyer presenting that one.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
You're right, once we revert to this lost Utopia of crap part-time teams playing to empty stadia and getting hockeyed in Europe every year I'm sure the league will cease to be a laughing stock. What the sporting public really want are neat balance sheets.
Bohs are ****ed in the short-term, the incompetence of their officers is beyond comprehension. They'll end up selling Dalymount for ~€25m (possibly to Carroll himself, in return for writing off the loans.) It's how far they make that go that counts.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Should be enough for another couple of titles anyway.

How much would Dalymount be worth without the shopping centre end and the access it provides is the question.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Sheridan the only thing I'd disagree with is the €25m valuation.
Landbank for development is probably worth maximum 40% of what it was worth at the height of the boom (original Carroll deal was €65m iirc so you're not far off), BUT even thats completely hypothetical as no bank will lend a cent for a property development in the near future. So unless someone ponies up the cash themselves, Dalymount is worthless in the short-term.
Edit: I'd forgotten, As Longfordian said, the lack of access to the site. Makes it even more worthless.

Tolka's already gone...
Into an already FAI owned AUL complex in clonshaugh? maybe, but as above the FAI need every penny they can get to pay for Lansdowne.
