Players have been paid: Waterford United
10/06/2005 - 12:23:36

Waterford United player-manager Alan Reynolds has denied reports that his players have not been paid.

It was thought that the club was struggling to come up with the players' wages but Reynolds has dismissed the reports. “There are always cash flow problems, but everyone has been paid,” he said.

The sale of Daryl Murphy to Sunderland earned the club close to €150,000, butt here are various creditors needing to be paid off.

Reynolds admitted that there is unlikely to be any cash available for transfers.

“I have to get over that and wee what happens when we get to the transfer window,” he said.

don't know where these reports came from - think it's because of the recent run of bad performances. As far as I know everyone has been paid and there's no more of a cash crisis than usual. I'd guess that most teams are in the same boat as regards cash reserves.

Who hasn't

[fosterdollar]

Tell me about it

[blue til i die]

if the manager says that the players have been payed, then they have been payed, not that they deserve it after their recent performances!!!

Difficulty keeping them out aswell

Except against Rovers!!

Waterford have just played 3 home games. That should ease worries about players not getting paid.

Just got one of them eL texts:

Reports indicate that Crisi hit Waterford could be forced to make their entire squad, inc. Alan Reynolds available for transfer as investment runs dry.

[blue til i die]

ye, i read it in the Daily mirror yesterday. They said we have 2 weeks to get some investers or all of the players will be for sale with reasonable offers being accepted.

From the clubs official site:
Close Shave for the Blues
16 June 2005

Waterford United is to benefit from a unique fundraising effort where two dedicated fans will have their heads shaved in order to raise much needed funds for the Blues.

Eoghan Sinnott and Conor Nolan will lose their locks at half time during the Blues' next home game against champions Shelbourne on Friday June 24th.

Director Martin Colbert has appealed to the people of Waterford to get behind the venture and to support the Blues at what is a difficult time for the club.

"I don't want to gloss over the fact that the club is in trouble," said Colbert. "We are going through a bad time both on and off the pitch and money is running out. We need the support of the town or there will not be senior football here. I would appeal to every sports fan to get behind the Blues over the next few weeks. Sponsor the head shave and buy a ticket for the game against Shelbourne. Even if you can't go, buy a ground ticket and support the club."

How have Waterford got in this situation? Their squad doesn't look too expensive as all best & i assume highest earners have left.

I think i heard that former Chairman getting all thr cash from Daryl Murphy sale. How is that possible? Seems liem a conflict of interest for a chairman personally to loan money to himself as chairman of the club...

Exactly, how were they let get into this mess? There must have been some absolutley woeful financial mismanagement going on over there as the squad really shouldn't be that expensive.

Ithought the chairman resigned so why does he get the money.

[Schumi]

Think he'd lent money to the club so was getting it back.
