    If the club goes bust, the honchos lose any hold on the lease.

    That can't be the plan surely?

    Presumably, the FAI must do everything necessary - including rule changes if required, to prevent such an appalling scenario developing.
    Its an interesting and perhaps unique conundrum as if the away team dont take to the pitch the picket is essentially null and void but do you then cross the picket and hope bray cant muster 11 together in order to make the picket valid. Im sure the PFAI will give the cork players all the information regarding what crossing or not crossing it would mean to help them make a decision.

    So Limerick are in the Irn-Bru Cup - until they too have sanctions against them, I guess.

    I think that's reasonable from the FAI. What else could they do? There's no money for a fine, a points deduction is irrelevant, as is automatic relegation. The FAI's hands are tied to an extend by how ****ed up the league is.

    Leaves scope for additional sanctions as and when required.

    The owners don't care about any sporting sanctions, and the FAI can't impose any non-sporting ones. I suppose the only benefit is that it serves as an example to those owners who might actually care about their clubs as opposed to the land the stadium is built on.

    It is difficult to know how to punish the club. You could kick them out of the FAI cup but then there’s a chance they could get a bit of gate money and it could help the players and staff. Maybe the FAI can withhold any gate receipts they do get to ensure it goes to those that need it.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    "Bray has been removed also from participating in the 2018-19 IRN-BRU Scottish Challenge Cup."

    The irony, of course, is that if the FAI invested in the league (as they need to), and gave proper prize money, then it'd be very easy to penalise the club.

    €100k prize money for finishing last? Your fine is €25k. A sizeable slap on the wrist, but the club still has some cash coming in.

    But the FAI give the clubs nothing, so they've nothing to take away.

    Top two sides in the previous league season who didn't get into Europe and who have managed to pay their players since.

    Slightly off topic, but I see there's two English Conference teams being invited to the Irn Bru Cup this year.

    Starting to be a very interesting competition.

    My personal view would be for Bray to remain in the league and see out the season with youth players or whatever it takes, then they should be removed from LOI for at least 5 years until they have their house in order and new owners / admin group who have an interest in football can be trusted to start again from the FD.

    If this was any other league, they would probably be expelled immediately and all points expunged, this would increase Dundalk's lead over Cork from 4 to 6 points, but as I indicated at the start, this is not something I would like to see happen.

    If that ever came to play, the FAI should pick up the tab and pay their wages from the period it was unpaid from, I don't put up with this argument thats it all the FAI's fault, clubs also have a role to play, but the FAI are behind the licensing committee, so they should take the hit in this case.

    The statement the FAI released though would imply they are happy to let this situation limp along for weeks.
    #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).

    I think it indicates that they have no choice but to let it limp along.

    I don't know what the protocol is on points being expunged etc, but that would be no way for a league to be won or lost. I would expect that any outcome that gives extra points that should be resisted by the club, and I would expect that supporters should encourage and support this attitude if it came to it - although that might be naive on my part!

    Remaining games will probably be given as walkovers rather then all results expunged.
