Perfect analysis of the gypos delusions. Anyone who calls themselves "The Big Club" is in dire need of some lessons in self-awareness. Even if it did start as a joke among some of their more ironic fans.
In ways they're a bit like Man City in the seventies - for the first time in their not-very illustrious history they (briefly) over-shadowed their far more successful neighbours and got delusions of grandeur for their troubles.
Man City - The Massive Club and Bohs - The Big Club. Both names are ridiculous in the extreme.

It would be fairer to wonder how such a high wage bill has come about, given the fact that the club is in debt and you don't have that many players who would get into either the Shels or City team, or into the Drogs team for that matter- i.e. you're paying out over the odds in wages.Is it not fair to expect that for the 2nd or 3rd highest wage bill in the country, we score more than one goal in 5 games or are higher than 2nd last?
Also, it is fair enough to expect a better return than that, but it IS only 5 games- you need patience
Is this a new, post-post-modern take on irony, where you first acknowledge it and then take it on the level?
I don't think any Bohs fans have delusions about this season. Heck, we even managed to draw with your pub team: how bad is that? And then we're slagged off for being cross with our manager!
We'd be worried about going down if it wasnt' for the knowledge that there's always you lot and a couple of others almost as rubbish as you are.
Another hoop living in the past, taking any opportunity not to have to think about your less than illustrious present.
If you want to talk about size, the bottom line is Shams= minnows.

Ha! That's some laugh coming from a rovers fan. The biggest delusion I've heard in years was 'rovers going pro' during the winter break. Try keeping yer heads above water first lads. By the way, ye're also indebted to the 'big club' this season. Otherwise given the financial situation at rovers you could have the sight of a first team in green & white hoops, some fellow in a flash trench coat along with 297 people that consist of the '400' club hitching on the side of the M1 in order to play 'home' games in Drogheda.
Business as usual
Incorrect, the gypos are indebted to us this season - to the tune of a few grand every fortnight. Money they desperately need. Which is why we're trying to move to Santry. Cheaper for us and we won't be subsidising Bohs in their hour of need.
And BTW none of us believed the going full-time rubbish from Roddy and if the thoughts of the fans taking over in the guise of the 400 Club upsets you that much then I'm sorry for you.

Looks like ye'll be subsidising Bohs in yer own hour of need. Handing over whatever bit of money ye've left to yer bitter enemies. Must be hard to take.
BTW hope the fans take over the club and get the thing sorted out. Whatever about yer past success it's always entertainment slagging with the hoops.
Business as usual
Club A
Debt - 2.3 million euro approx
Assets - One rather flashy trench coat.
Club B
Debt - 1 million euro approx
Assets - Large area of rather valuable propery in Dublin 7.
Fan from Club A reckons if they can manage not to pay Club B 60 odd grand and keep it for themselves they will be saved and Club B will face untold consequences in their hour of need.
Now that's what I call wishful thinking.
Business as usual
spot on... but im wondering is amnesia already affecting some limerick fansyer not exactly a fine example of how a club shud be run
arent we all just magic little monkeys...
Fitzknows - I'm under zero delusions about the state of my club, this is a thread about Bohs current predicament - the national media has been full of stuff about our mess and that's not what I'm talking about here.
Rovers is in serious state, a fact I've been aware of for a long time and we as a group of supporters are trying to change it. We've had no ground for 18 years, have been run by incompetants and are up the proverbial creek. No Rovers fan would claim otherwise.
Bohs on the other hand have their own ground, 3 bars and 500 members. Yet they are still in big debt and are as deluded about their current status as they are about their place in Irish sport.
Best of luck to Limerick, hopefully our two famous clubs, along with Dundalk, can turn things around.

Great wind-up drummerboy.
For the record it is well known in certain circles she is the reason that they are back in Ireland .
And nobody wants to sack Farrelly kids.
That doesn't seem to be the general opinion on gypoweb, most seem to want rid of him. Why you thought an average footballer 30 years old with no management experience ever would be a good choice to take over Bohs is beyond me anyway.Great wind-up drummerboy.

Erm... what was Pat Fenlon when he took over at Shels other than a thirty-something y/o average footballer with no managerial experience? Or Keely at Rovers?
While in recent years Cork have appointed both Dave Barry and Liam Murphy, Pat's have appointed Dolan, Derry have appointed Mahon and Healy - none have had previous managerial experience in management.
Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. Only time will tell with Farrelly. I have to say his body language and his apparent casual approach to the job does bother me. Bohs should have done what Shels did with Fenlon; give him a season-long contract to prove he is up to the job.
Well that's what I meant, you gave gim a 3 year contract and thought he'd turn things around, base on no evidence at all, it made no sense with with financial decisions like that that's why you're in the position you're in.Sometimes it works out, sometimes not.
