I thought Stewie Byrne had retired ,its his own perogative if he is going to bohs as player coach. I dont understand where is Pete Mahon is coming from as he is no longer a pats player!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
because - you should wait and see what these players are costing us and what the new wage structure the club has implemented is like. It is, with a couple of exceptions, part-time/amateur wages. As Rovers should know it is actually a clubs market at the moment. In other words, the wages that players have been paid across the league have reduced dramatically. The economic implosion has lead to a scenario where these wages have dropped even more. It is possible to sign players like Stu Byrne, Owen Heary and some of the others you listed on what are otherwise considered first div wages. They are no longer premier players and they realise that too.
Where you do possibly have a point is re Fenlon and i have been calling for him to be let go purely from a financial view point. However, he is under contract. It is a large contract. If we break it it is another settlement that has to be made. If we do retain PD status then who better than Fenlon to keep us up with our ragtag assortment of young fellas, a couple of decent players and experienced has beens. He also has sell-on/compensation value and cross-channel clubs have him on their radar. So there is a justification that can be made there too.
Another aspect is that the funds we have raised that are presently tied up are expected to finance the cost of resigning some of the 7 players who we are negotiating a settlement with (as well as the settlement itself) so they are, in essence, paid for and that is based on them re-signing on "drastically reduced terms" - the players words.
All im saying is it is not as black and white as you are painting it to be. Lets see what comes out of the wash over the next few week, thats all.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Pete was talking about Stuey Byrne at the Patron Saints meeting on Wednesday night, he said that Stuey told him he was retiring and he was surprised to see him go over to the thing in Norway, that was it. I reckon he is talking about more than one player tbh
I have no problem with what Fenlon is doing tho, yous will need players lined up for when all the messy stuff is over
Here on a technicality.
& Stuey was interviewed by The Star AFTER Norway, he said that he is retiring , as at 34 he needs to concentrate on his (non-football) work & that playing part-time hinders that. It would need to be a good offer to keep him from his business for another season & he hasn't had any such offer (by the time of the interview).

Trophy Manager - online football managment game - I like it - I think I'm getting obsessed with it though.

Fingal has a forum? Trust me, ive never been on it.

So the FAI are bailing out bohs.
You can take a loan of the "FAI's Model Club" tag for a month or so if youse like but we'll be needing it back once the season gets underway.
should we pre-empt things and start up a new thread entitled "deadly Zurich bank try to shut down our lovable rogue neighbours bohs" once 2012 comes around?
bohs are like eastenders!(dont watch fair city as its full o skobies)
will they/wont they...
as for pete mahon- shut your face you whingin ,begrudgin dubballin spanner.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
Its not fair its just not fair those chaps are not playing by the rules..
Would they be the players seeking compensation for Bohs not honouring their contracts next year ? Yes. Would the players be attending training to avoid any claim they are not honouring contracts ?Yes (and probobly to maintain fitness in case they get another club). Are any of them currently receiving pay ? No (with possible exception of Madden)
Your ongoing fixation with Bohs message board is no doubt flattering to those running it (personally I would never read the always-ultra site) but if you want to quote then do so in context.
By the way Jicked people on this site - foot.ie - (including shams supporters) commented on Pete Mahon whinging, is that OK or "incredible" ? opposition manager comments on Bohs results in comments on Bohs message board - WOW, what a shocker
As has been pointed, out Carton House is not costing Bohs anything so, again, whats the problem ?
No remote connection between the above points and Shelley/Grey issue so hardly likely to influence how Bohs fans feel about them anyway - presumably your position on the two would be the exact same if they were trying to wind up shams via court action ?
I am perfectly aware of their aims just as we all are of their actions - what does seeking a winding up order mean to you if not seeking to wind up the club ? its pretty striaghtforward really.
facts are (1) Shelley/Grey Objective = to get paid.(2) Shelley/Grey method = seek winding up order against club. No BS no ambiguity.
A winding up order means they're trying to force the club's hand to pay them, having gotten sick of listening to promises of when they'll get paid. It's really not rocket science, mb.
there were other options (Industrial relations,payment of wages Act etc) open to the players concerned other than seeking a winding up order (that IS what they have done whatever the reason(s)). The club has consistently said end January was its target date for agreement with all players (what promises of when they will get paid ?????). The fact is that these two players are emigrating and uped the ante to maximise the payoff they get for next seasons contract - currently seeking 26 weeks gross pay - before their position was weakened by not being available to fulfill the contract they are so eager for Bohs to honour.
I'm aware it IS what they've done. The point is that the reason they've done it isn't to wind the company up; it's merely to get paid what they're owed.
My point is that this -
- is nonsense.Originally Posted by marinobohs
As to promises of when they'll get paid, I'll direct you to the concept of "pay day" for starters.
