Drogs' Court Case

[ndrog]

A season or 2 in the first div might not have been the worst thing tbh .As far as players goes i reckon we will get in mainly players capable of first div football and we will struggle .But again i would rather that then mid table first div tbh .At least it will be exciting

[thischarmingman]

cos in Alan Matthews yeve got a manager with patients...

...I know Drogs are desperate and all, but getting the sick and wounded onboard?

IMO he is an excellent manager. I don't know anything about his presonality but his managerial record speaks for itself

whooooosh.

Does anyone know the EXACT reason why Shels were relegated for 2006 season?
OK, the league then was not run by the FAI but what now are the differences to Cork and Drogs situation.
Will Shels have set a precedent or not?
Were Shels relegated to the next League below or to the lowest division in the Eircom League?

The FAI were running the league then. They took over in the close season 2006 - 2007.

So, the reasons were that: "that the league champions provided inaccurate information during the licensing process"
and that Shels couldn't satisfy the FIC with regard to "proof that Shels will be able to meet several outstanding financial commitments, including debts to the Revenue Commissioners and former players." according to that Indo article.

They could get Drogheda and Cork (and probably other clubs) on the same thing- that they submitted false information to the licensing last season.

But it doesn't state whether Shels had made arrangements with the players and other staff "to meet several outstanding financial commitments".
Was an agreement reached, as Cork and Drogs have now done with their staff, within the proper timeframe?

[higgins]

Shels did have agreements in place with all creditors.
We made the payments to the revenue and the FAI and had agreed with players before the licence committee sat down and decided to offer us a First Division licence only.

[ndrog]

which is exactly what we might still get .

[higgins]

I doubt it ...
Already they are talking about examinership getting punished 'next year'!!

You might be pulled up on your ground but I guess paying creditors less than what they are owed is better in the eyes of the FAI than coming to deals with all creditors to pay them 100% over a longer time period like Shels have done.

Makes no sense to me....

But I'm sure next year will be better!!!
