QuoteThe story was nice while it lasted
I'd like to know what you're basing any of that statement on. Who's this benefactor? We were 100k short at the end of last year so some debt was going to go unpaid (if that is indeed what happened). Makes sense to wait till January to pay the revenue.Originally Posted by Mr A

Neale Fenn on retiring: 'I think once you finish you might as well finish rather than making all sorts of comebacks.'
Despite all the bluster and critism of the Mail, there was a fire generating the smoke.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
What was the fire Macy????
Drogs cleared their tax bill completely (a relatively small one by LOI standards) two weeks before a journalist decided to tell anyone interested that we were facing a revenue winding up order unless we cleared all our outstanding tax by last Friday.
Do you know how much Longford owe the revenue? If its more than 1c then you could be facing a winding up order if its not cleared. Would that be a "smoke without fire" story - no it would be complete nonsense.
Keep on dreaming, we're still in business, fully tax compliant, no outstanding wages due and in a much much healthier position than this time last year, when we were still in examinership. Hey, we even have 15 players who have agreed to play with us this season. 11 months ago we had 0.
We are looking forward to the new season and this time we all have very large umbrellas to cope with people raining on our parade.

Right- I'm genuinely confused here- did Drogheda fall 50k behind or not? Was this cleared by Vincent Hoey? Is he still involved with the club or not?
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
citizen smith on the Drogheda forum mentioned that there was a bill of E50k, but that it was recently paid. That's all I've seen anyway.
No matter what line of business your in January is P35 time so even if you were paying a set sum on direct debit there would be either a balance payable or repayable. I know we settled up with the revenue ourselves this month so making a mountain of a molehill is what the Mail was doing.
I look after the accounts in our own business and laugh sometimes when I see some of the sanctimonious bull spouted on here by some posters. Ive said before 2/3rds of the businesses in the country are struggling big time with cashflow problems and things arent getting any better its actually worse with commercial activity at a standstill.

No, you said before that 1/3rd of businesses are struggling (post 54). You've provided no evidence whatsoever for that either, and now it looks like you're making stuff up.
Individuals have an option to pay tax by DD, and even then it must come to pretty damn close what the final balance for the year is. I don't think companies have that option; that's why they have to do monthly P30s. If (if) Drogheda had a tax bill of E50k built up after one year that interested the Revenue this much, that's very bad management regardless of what spin you'd like to put on it.
Also, probably worth noting that no winding up order issued in the end.
Are you not the one who claimed all this in the first placeSo we presume you just made it up for some strange reason ...Your confused allright , very confused
You have a looong way to go before your club meets Premier Licencing Criteria so i wouldnt be so smug .Lost interest in goings on down there a long time ago. Do cork still exist ?If you huddle together and hold them all up it'll look like a proper Stadiuuuuuu.....

The €100,000 needed to break even that was said by Sean above? I'm not clear whether it's that you are budgetting for raising an extra €100,000 to break even this coming season, or that's the hole in last seasons figures?

Ah diddums, it was a joke, untwist your knickers. I don't think Tommy No bobs has a hope of getting a Premier Division Licence [or any licence].
Cork still exists by the way, I'd say any map or atlas issued after 1850 would give a pretty good representation of where it is and it's size etc.,

I asked questions based on the newspaper and what was posted on your forum. None of this originated with me.Are you not the one who claimed all this in the first place
Oooooooooooo.K. Now can you answer the questions?So we presume you just made it up for some strange reason ...Your confused allright , very confused

100k is this years budget requirement for fundraising etc to breakeven. Once the C&B club, gates, sponsorship etc are taken into account they beleive that 100k is required through additional sources (mainly fundraising I would imagine) to breakeven.
Your point about just reducing the budget by 100k is moot but (I am only repeating what I have heard , no inside info bar being a C&B member) I assume that to run a team in the premier has a base cost (interesting thread if somone wants to start one - what is the none playing staff cos of running a club) and we are sailing close if not on it hence we cannot reduce the budget by 100k otherwise we might as well apply for the 1st div (IMO).
The challenge for us as a club and group of supporters is to stay in the top flight and the club believe we have the plan in place to do so with the judged most realistic budget to do so.
We have a challenge as does every team for the fothcoming season but I suppose the difference is that we are communicating our exact challenge (off field) and tackling it head on. Its a pleasent change TBH as it allows us all to pull in the same direction. i.e. no more carzy spending and realisitic goals (ie last season survival, this season breakeven and hopefully a few places higher in the table, next season a few baby steps more).
The aim is that after each season we will have put in place more structures to help finance the club (ie C&B club). I am sure there is plenty we arent doing correctly but its not for lack of honest effort.
I know other supporters would be spectical as we went into examinership but things have and will continue to change in UTD PARK, it will take time but we are getting there.
Drogheda United in this together
That dosent read like a question to me . You made a statement about a benefactor paying our debts , its not true . All payments to the revenue have been made and yes vincent is still involved in the club for whoever wants to know .
Amazing how some people (apart from Rovers fans, obviously) know the financial dealings of another club while not having a clue whats going on at their own club.
I wonder have Longford paid their back wages or tax?
I know we have....

As far as I'm aware we have paid it. We have a tax clearance cert and I think all players were paid it was the final week's wages as far as I know somewhere around 2.5k. They're not expecting any Licensing issues from what I've heard anyway.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Can you also link to the posts where I said that it was a non-story and tried to spin that everything was hunky dory?
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
You didn't - you said there were problems at our club but had to ask your own fans what was going on at Longford.
