Eh no.

By taking control, culling their squad in July/November. Getting rid of everyone they possibly can. Cutting all unnecessary costs and setting up a plan to pay off debts owed.

When the market picks up again, which it will, they can sell Dalymount, move somewhere cheaper and run the club properly, or get someone into Dalymount with them to groundshare and use the money to slowly pay off debts owed.

I never said it would be easy but it is certainly possible. The question is are they willing to do it.

Very likely - I can definitely see this happening in a few years. Debts mount up, deal for stadium with developers doesn't happen, FAI clear Bohs debt, do some redevelopment on the ground and Shels move in there with Bohs.

It would also mean that every Dublin club bar Pats would be in a situation where they have no capital assets to blow on playing budgets.

**edit** Man I do love that ignore button....

seriously what the hell would rovers know about the Champions League ? you dont gain entry by winning the 1st division.

It seems to me that most of the Bohs fans on this forum care more about Rovers than their own club, all they do is get on and say how much better they are doing than their rivals, i think yous should really look after your own club rather than been fixated on beating Rovers

It makes rescuing the Irish economy look like a 7 year olds maths homework.

7 year olds maths homework ? obviously way, way above the average rovers fan so

Give it a f**king rest man. You come across as a child in all your posts so far.

Nail on head and the kind of attitude that has gotten them into this mess in the first place.

So, a pats fan (I presume) commenting on a thread about Bohs accounts (started by another pats fan) thinks bohs fans should concentrate on their own club ? really ?

ooops sorry, wrong messageboard...

**RoversHead** · 01/04/2009, 3:04 PM

As a die hard hoop for over 30 yrs i take no pleasure what so ever at the mess Bohs or any other club in Irish football find themselves in ,but unlike other clubs such as Rovers Shels Cobh Cork ect who suffered at the hands of bad financial management by privateers Bohs only have their own fans to blame.They have stood by and watched a small arrogant clique from their own ranks put their future on the line while laughing at the plight of other clubs, chickens home to roost.......oh and by the way they dont have the longest most illustrious history in Irish football that honour would belong to Shamrock Rovers according to the stats but history is nothing without a future and thankfully ours is so bright were all wearing shades

But thats we becaue we compare ourselves to everyone

Unlike most Bohs fans. I've said it before most bohs fans I've met are happier beating rovers than winning leagues.

It seems to me that your whole "defence" on this situation is to say you're better than Rovers, who rent a ground and had their debt wiped

Even on the thread on the Bohs forum at least half the posts on this subject (the leak) are about Rovers

Come on.
You know none of that is actually true.

**RoversHead** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

The beauty of renting a ground is that you cant sell it twice let alone sell it to two carpet baggers at the same time,who owns Dalymount now ?can Bohs even afford the court proceedings to find out?Real Madrid rent a ground as do most seria A clubs.The fixation Irish people have with property ownership has not served the nation well let alone football.

come on now Dodge. We dont have a defence on this. It is up to the members to oust the current board incumbents and plot a way for this club to survive and become sustainable.

Most of the posts, from one poster MarinoBohs, are simply highlighting that it is a bit hypocritical of other clubs fans (clubs that have actually found themselves in probably worse positions than Bohs are in now) to lord it over the rest of us, be they Rovers, Derry, Drogs, Cork anyone.

I'll take a ribbing on the situation as far as it goes but dont expect me to get overly concerned with "defending" my club to the posters who are revelling in the matter in cyberspace. Especially when these same posters support clubs that have found themselves in worse places than we currently occupy.

Unlike "the others", we have continued to pay our players, we continue to pay our bills. We are in trouble, granted, but I believe we can turn the ship around slowly but surely.

But please dont expect the majority of us foot.ie posters to get too worked up over the schadenfreude of a few Rovers fans.

**pete** · 01/04/2009, 3:53 PM

I definitely feel the FAI (also the government indirectly) want a 2 stadium north/south situation in Dublin.

You owe nearly ten times what Drogheda did. Ten times.

Can you outline a plan you could use to survive this?

Like it makes a blind f*ckin bit of difference, if i could, what use would this be of to you?

I'll say it again "please dont expect the majority of us foot.ie posters to get too worked up over the schadenfreude of a few Rovers fans".

Now run off to your forum and tell everyone how deluded the Bohs fans are which seems to be the way these things work around here.

You owe nearly 8 times what Drogheda did.

OK as this is becoming tedious for all. To end matters I will make the following proposal at the Bohs AGM "given the expert analysis of D24 Hoop & Assos accountants Ltd this club should wind up, give away the worthless ground and seek a rental agreement with South Dublin County council"

thanks for all your assistance is resolving our problems (and there was me thinking it was only taxi drivers who had all the answers).

NEXT ITEM - save the economy the shams way

**RoversHead** · 01/04/2009, 4:39 PM

They dont have a ground to sell they have sold it twice already and the guy who promised to build them a home in meath is waiting for his turn in court as soon as the original carpet bagger gets his day in court as for the were still paying bills and players thing thats with a 4million loan against the carpark from the zurich bank for christ sake.you should hang that board from your floodlights actually im not sure they are your floodlights anymore i really do hope there are at least a few bohs fans left with their heads above the sand.
