........I heard a whisper that Tommy hs been put forward to take over as President of Bohs!!!..........
I wonder which club will have Bernard Madoff as their President?
Tommy sponsors most Dublin clubs.
He's even been involved with Drogs at one stage.
He's a sponsors version of Mad Tom
A transient, horrible, fantastic dream,

Are you serious ?
Philip Hannigan has been a great supporter of Bray for many many years, he is a former chairman of the club and was our previous jersey sponsor - Hard Metal.
I'd be very surprise if Tommy went in at that level at Bohs, from speaking to him he hates and i mean hates the people that run bohs. I thought he was quite involved with Dundalk and on the board with Newry ?
He was looking at buying part of Dundalk, Newry and Coleraine I think.
What's Foster going to do when Allen's off buying football clubs?
Finally, i have to ask
who IS Tommy Allen then?
This would be a bit of a puzzling appointment. As much as I admire Tommy Allen's commitment to Irish football, he doesn't exactly strike me as someone who returned from the sanity buffet with a fully-laden tray.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
You'll see him around. Long hair, usually wearing a hat, probably in his 50s, usually buys out raffle ticket sellers (used to buy twenty quid's worth at a go in Belfield), goes to a fair few games (I saw him at a Newry game once). owns a pharmacy, I think. Fairly minted (he told me what his pension was worth at our club dinner last year; not passing on that information obviously!). Sponsored three of our players last year, and I've seen his ad in the Bohs programme before. Keep an eye out; you'll see signs of him.
Tommy Allen's Pharmacy in Ballybough (he may have other premises?)
According to himself - he bought a lower league club in the Czech Republic (or one of those central European countries) last year.
He'll also tell you that he plans on buying himself a new liver in the US very soon
