Dorgs enter examinership and judge is satisifed with efforts etc and allows them out of examininership, creditors all agree to terms and life goes on - all legal and as per due process.

But hey this is Ireland there has to be some detail in there to moan about - conspiracy, conspiracy I tell ya ....

Why should those questions not be asked?

How much of the 300k is hard cash in the bank and how much is based on 'pledges'?

How much is being paid out to creditors including the Revenue?

IIRC the playing are getting 90k now, with more to come further down the road? Have the players actually been paid the 90K now - or in the next couple of days before Jan 31st deadline?

What's the total amount of the write-off after all creditors' settlements are totted-up?

after the bull**** everyone had to listen to from you and the rest of ollie's cronnies at $hel$, im dumbfounded and disgusted at you asking these questions.

As for the Drogs fans, congrats, great news, looking forward to visiting this season again. Always a good set of fans.

I think it's Hoey through a holding company. From memory, it's either him as a 100% shareholder or as a quasi-partnership with someone else. Fairly similar to Ollie as Shels.

Would that not have been before today? Presumably the supporters' club who raised the money are officially involved now?

In any case, well done to everyone.

Again, why?

Fair play to Drogheda for getting through the examinership, and I'm happy for the fans that were holding their breath on this. Why does that make someone here a villian for asking specific questions?

It would.

There's been no indication of any change in ownership or control so far. Though that's not to say none happened.

I'm being serious - the answer to all the questions should be in the affidavits filed.

They're all public documents and anyone can bespeak them.

If you're that interested go get them instead of insinuating something isn't above board.

Congrats to Drogheda fans on the club coming our of examinership

**pete** · 29/01/2009, 1:52 PM

Well done to Drogs. I guess will not apply for Premier licence at this stage? Hopefully the fans can get organised & takeover the running of the club from the current Directors. I feel ye need a fresh start without their baggage.

Sounds like they're intent on getting a Premier licence...

Hasn't Hoey come out and said after the decision they'll be a Premier Divison club?. No chance of them not applying for a Premier Licence.

Get a life. As a taxpayer and League of Ireland supporter like most people on this MB - I've as much right and interest to ask these questions.

How do you bepeak those files / affidavits?

Who is insinuating something?

As a tax payer and a League of Ireland supporter you would have been better asking Oillie all these questions about your own club at the time, instead of being his mouth peace.

Again, congratulations Drogs, great news for the league as a whole and yourselves.

As for your second question - leave it out, you know exactly what I mean

**Buile Shuibhne** · 29/01/2009, 2:16 PM

Regardless of the past - I'm asking these questions now.

A question for you - how is Drogheda going into examinership and then coming out of it, good for the league as a whole?

Peace to you too!
