in regards to updating the website- its high quality considering its size relative to other such websites. updating it is something you can do when the money situation is comfortable.nothing is more impressionable about a club than its grounds- ours have improved ten fold in recent years, but if the porta johns need addressing (which they do) FIXTHEM, thats what i say!!

Mate, if you knew anything at all you'd lnow thats theres no chance of Devo being driven out of Bray as hes the little hitler up there and they all lick his ass clean so forget baout that happening. As regards the financial investment i still say he should pump the money in instead of asking others to do so then maybe he thinks like the others hes not going to pump money for no return just being honest anyway we should be taking a leaf out of Longfords book as no one can dispute that they were years behind us an dnow look their well ahead of us both on and off the pitch.

Nah your very wrong here ! if he owned the club he WOULD have to pump money into it but he doesnt own the club, he is 1st team manager and director of football, this does not mean he should put his own money that he has earned through years of hard work into the club.

Anyway, if you really knew the club that well, you would know that devo has financed several signings for the club !

So do you really think that Stephen Kenny or Alan Matthews have put their own money into making Longford one of the biggest clubs in Ireland ? get ral rafa

Sorry just after following Wanderers since 1985 i find it disappointing that we have the same manager same style of play so its just frustration i mean he can't live off two cups forever. I never mentioned Kenny or Matthews putting money in but thats who the club and team need someone like one of them two also Kenny/Matthews don't go on about loving the club etc all the time and looking for investment i just think its a bit rich considering whos asking also there has to be something wrong when 20 years on its still the same lets be honest Longford are an example to clubs like us. We need to look to the future and nothing personal but Devo is not the future for the team maybe another role in the club but not the team. As regards saying he owned the club i was joking but hes the hitler up there and everyone bows to him just take it from me its true i am sure your cousin Robbie could tell you.

roo69, not even a fan and i know this could not have put it better meself, fair play.

I wonder if rafa B was asked to put a bit of money into hiring new staff in his job would pay for the advertising and so on!!! I think not

**KK77** · 23/11/2004, 3:29 PM

If i had it i would unlike some who have but won't. Anyway as fan of the club i am entitled to my opinion just like you have yours i am all for the future of Wanderers and i just think the team would be better served with a new manager

exactly!!!!! if a film runs over budget threatening its completion do you see the director funding the rest of it??NO, he sits on his a5s for a few years and tries to sell his product to investors!if he invests his own money he runs the gauntlet of serious losses- Devo does not want a WaterWorld situation on his hands

but you see there is no money coming into the club full stop. So devo cant sit on his ass for a few years. He has being doing that for years as it is and still nothing there.

Roo69 - A question for you!

How much investment would it take to buy everyone out at the club? Also, would it be possible for a future investor to get a hold of accounts for the club for the last few years?

not much i hope to get them out, we could all chip in.

until local business get involved in the club, Bray's financial crisis will remain. i think the business are waiting on bray to win the league before they get involved. that means they'll never get involved

Emm, this contra deal...

What's in it for the design company? Bit of advertising from Wanderers? Surely web design\ hosting costs a fortune? No such thing as a free lunch etc? I don't get it...
