7 grand a week?! What? Holy jesus that's a lot of money..
Following on from this interview what's the story up here at the moment??
Also standout quote for me:
I've seen Dundalks squad.Originally Posted by Gerry Malone LMFM
What in the name of Jebus are they spending over SEVEN GRAND a week on??
When I heard they were making cut backs and then saw the signings I assumed we were talking more two to three grand a week!!

I said it at the time of the "sale" and was shouted down by his cheerleaders, it's all a game, and a dangerous one. How on earth they're spending 7k a week on wages yet have a team of kids. Greatly fearing for Dundalk FC right now.
What makes it all look worse is the Trust statement. http://www.dundalkfc.com/dfc-trust-statement-2

Holy ****. The numbers I heard in Limerick were similarly shocking though!
Sporting F*ck All!
From reports and statements, Limerick can sustain it (they've an oligarch owner), plus they've got backing to move to a new ground etc. Instead GM is looking, still, to offload the football club and hang onto "Oriel Active" or GM's FunPalace. Really depressing.
I think Oligarch might be going a bit far! But yeah, the indications so far are that Limerick should be ok I think.
I think the point here is what are Dundalk spending their money on? At least at Limerick they've assembled a good squad.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
i dont know if any other teams had to do this but the FAI for a few seasons has demanded limerick fc put up a huge sum of money before they were allowed kick a ball 250,000 was asked up front last season i dont know about this season prob the same.
The LOI really is like the neverending story. There should be a concerted effort to rid clubs of the various "philanthropists", spoofers and shysters that have been killing the game for decades.
I just came in to confirm for everyone that Limericks' playing budget is nowhere near 7000 a week.
Thanks.
Add on at least a couple of zeros.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Clubs not in a good way at all now.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
You know a club is f*cked when Ian Foster leaves and they get WORSE.
Here on a technicality.
God, 7k really!!! At the start of the season we were told it was going to be 2-3k per week, i thought the team was doing ok,just ok for 2-3k per week,but seeing that its actually 7k, it just goes to show McCaffrey doesnt have a clue how much a player should be getting paid in this league, or maybe he doesnt care and is just looking after the players who played for him at internation level before...
