Yeah, the journo's all came up with the same line, independently without any spinning from anyone...

Hard to argue with Fenlons record, however, he has always done it with money and has never done it, or shown any desire to do it, on a limited budget. That will always be attached to what he's done in the LoI, imho.

Smashing piece of journalism that

(Damn your realism...)

Do you actually know anything?

Fine example of a rhetorical question there

I asked the question on another thread and I 'll ask it again. Why didn't Bohs members ask for an EGM when Stevie Wonder could see how things were panning out?

... not sure but maybe
(a) Fenlon has not gone yet so bit early for an EGM to discuss it.
(b) AGM was last Monday night so some may have thought it a bit soon for an EGM (given rules it would have had to be sought before the AGM took place.Weird)

Amusing seeing you ramble on about something you appear to know so little about but suggest you may be ruining the image of shams "knowing everything about Bohs" that some on here like to imagine.

No no, just wondering if you know anything about why we haven't done what you lot have done and as you say 'start again'

Clearly you don't.

On Fenlon going, hopefully we don't have to pay him to much!!

If you took the blinkers off I actually meant why wasn't an EGM called for a few weeks ago when everyone knew the budget figures were a fairytale?

I'd hazard a guess and say things would've been done differently at Bohs if our club wasn't as well run and in the great situation it is now. There's rivalry and then there's stupidity.

Right, im lost. How can we do what you have done and 'start over again' as you say when we own Dalymount?

Amazing how you knew they were a "fairytale" but people who saw them like FAI and licencing people accepted the budget So lets see, sham "we know all about Bohs" speculating on guesstimatesversus experienced football/financial administrators that have actually seen the figures ? Wow, that a tough one to call. again why would members call an EGM when the AGM was scheduled for last Monday night anyway ? Are you really silly enough to believe Fenlon is leaving because Bohs are spending too much ?

**pineapple stu** · 29/03/2011, 10:03 AM

Cos no club who's had their budget accepted by the FAI has ever then completely ignored it.

Maybe its because due to Dalymount we cant just stiff our creditors (including players) like shams did. Maybe its because we want to do our best to honour our commitments and not walk away from them like shams did. Maybe we do not see misapprpriating public funding as a business option. Maybe we are still not in as bad a position as shams were in 2005 (have not noticed any orders for Tippex at Dalymount yet). Maybe a combination of several/all of these

Presumably you are only supporting shams since 2006 as otherwise you would be aware how appallingly badly they were run up until that. Presumably you forget that after twenty odd years of renting (and various promises of "permanent homes") you are still renting on an insecure basis. The fact that you can "fold the club" at any time because you have little in the way of assets is not quite the same as "well run" or indeed constitute a "great situation".

Huh? You can, and you did just a few short weeks ago. When the 400 Club originally took over Rovers we were only in a position to pay 4% of the debts racked up by the old board, it was that or they got nothing. About 2 months ago Bohemians paid their players a percentage of the money they owed them for next season, it was that or they got nothing. Obviously there's bigger payments to be made in the future, but I hardly think Bohs are above trying to renegotiate their debt when they did just that about 8 weeks ago.

The fact that you can "fold the club" at any time because you have little in the way of assets is not quite the same as "well run" or indeed constitute a "great situation".

Shamrock Rovers have been well run for many years now, no matter how it galls you to admit it. Presumably the hundreds of clubs around Europe who don't own their grounds can never be as well run as Bohemians, I'm sure European Champions Internazionale are worried about their far from great situation.

REALLY!!!!!

And you think that racking up even more debt by signing up some of the best players in the league when as per usual you can't afford them will help you to honour your commitments????
