    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    A million percent this!!

    Exactly how I would have described him.

    But I'd add zero concentration, almost completely one legged and a coward (in a footballing sense don't want to knock the guy personally I don't know him.)

    "Go on Stevo hit the diag" was the sarcastic shout from the terrace any time he got the ball during the dark last 40 or so games of Stuart Taylor's 50 or so game reign.




    In other news what's the story down in cork?

    I get that they're terrible and have no money.

    But the last few days have seen a few newspaper articles where the manager and what I assume is the chairman are basically reduced to hiding behind the young squad. (That the manager signed with a budget the board signed off on)

    "Hit me now with the child in my arms" isn't a good look when you're trying to get people to support you.

    Neither is replying to fans questions with various answers along the theme of "Nah nah nah nah nah you're not in foras."

    Chairmen of the league, stay off social media. Please, I can't stress that enough!

    What ever happened with Daryl Murphy to Waterford? Is he signing still or does he not want to get his round in anymore?

    Aye, and he's had all the shots but the legs just keep going on him - he's an awful whiner too especially when he hits the Crossbar and fails to score. Maybe time to move on and try other clubs.........

    Yup Im bored!

    if Doherty goes to Spurs for GBP 15m, would Bohs' 10 per cent cut be (in a sense) the biggest ever transfer fee received by an LOI club?

    Probably. It's rare that such clauses pay off so handsomely. Most of them are bought out at some point when clubs are stuck for money I'd say.

    After looking at Dundalk trying to burn through 7m as quick as possible, can Bohs use this money on infrastructure as opposed to players? Dalymount future kind of a mess so maybe reluctant to spend to much money there

    There's zero possibility Bohs will use any significant portion of that money for the playing budget

    European money feels like they can increase their playing budget & keep improving but this is bonus money that can do something more lasting for the club

    Any future players signing for them will know they have money( not a huge amount, but not to be sneezed at) and will negotiate accordingly.

    Bohs will be clever not to repeat past mistakes. They'll naturally set aside some money to push the first team on a bit, but they'd be crazy not to invest in a proper training facility or academy structure somewhere. Half a million would go a long way towards a greenfield training site.

    I would also wager they'll not receive anything near €1.5m, probably something closer to 600k or 700k and promise of loan players or some nonsense.

    They don't have to accept that. Without knowing the ins and outs of how the clause was written, you would think that they are entitled to 10% of the guaranteed fee which should be fairly easily ascertainable from the transfer documents.

    For a player that never made a 1st team appearance for Bohs its some deal if MD goes to Spurs. But MD was only a year with Bohs U19s think the club he was originally at St Kevins(I think!) should be getting the majority of the money as he was with them a long time. Think his first club must feel hard done by!
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    You should be awarding that prize to yourself. Bohs have learned their lessons. They are not following the Rovers/Dundalk approach of big budget squads and the board have no intention of changing that approach now either. The days of running the club on unsustainable large losses on annual basis are over.

    Bohs are looking to get their own training facilities as part of their long term plans so expect the majority of the transfer money to be spent there.

    That's brilliant. There's no response to idiocy like that. Bravo sir!
