    The club can operate with Power. The club quite clearly cannot operate with Dunphy running things locally. Get Dunphy out and the club has some club

    Whos this Dunphy bloke never heard of him before?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Martin Dunphy. I don't know him at all but going by social media people don't have much time for him. He somehow ended up in a position of power at the club after Lee Power's son Jack headed back to the UK.Jack had been general manager. A local journalist and a club volunteer were banned from the RSC for comments on social media so have been issues building over the last year.
    I couldn't see Alan Reynolds coming back under Lee Power especially with the mess at the club now.

    Well 60 k was bet on that match tonight., for comparative purposes 500 euro was bet on the Bohs match.
    Waterford stinks to high heaven, sorry for the fans and all but....

    How much was put on after the news got out?
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    It seems the word was out locally well before the club statement so it's entirely possible that people piled on but yeah you'd wonder why the bookies didn't call a halt.

    The 60k is what was matched on Betfair exchange I would imagine as that is generally only place where people can see amount placed. Most Bookies did stop taking bets on the game.

    Harps seemed to struggle with the bigger pitch, gaps everywhere in their defence, Bohs didn't play particularly well other than finishing 4/8 good chances

    The change in formation screwed us. For some reason we reverted to 5-3-2, and we were all over the place. Probably one of the worst 45 minutes I've seen under Horgan.

    Your two full backs got hammered in the first half, tucked in rather than stayed wide for some reason.There also looked to be a focus on closing down Devoy, worked quite well with two players on him when he got posession, and he got turned over a couple of times.Meant though that Coote and Buckley had acres of space and they Burt, Tierney and Feely did the damage..

    Goodness knows what any implications might be for Waterford, but they surely cannot be positi
    Swindon are going for the Quadruple:

    "Swindon Town FC, its Owner and Chairman, Lee Power, First Touch Pro Management and its Company Director, Michael Standing, have been charged in relation to breaches of The FA’s Regulations on Working with Intermediaries [i.e. Agents].
    It is alleged that Swindon Town FC, Lee Power, First Touch Pro Management and Michael Standing breached Intermediary Regulations in relation to the ownership and/or funding of Swindon Town FC."

    https://www.thefa.com/news/2021/apr/...reaches-070421

    Considering Power was an Agent himself and Standing still is(?), you'd think they knew the rules by now.

    Meanwhile, though it's dragging this further away from Waterford, it's interesting to see that Gareth Barry, a client of Standing, is embroiled in this mess:
