Hull City owners to take majority stake in Dundalk?

**Longfordian** · 22/09/2024, 9:26 AM

If the new owner, despite the legal bluster, has been brought to court by the bank to repossess a property he hasn't paid the mortgage on then I'm not sure where he's going to get the money to keep Dundalk going. And the other members of his consortium were already part of the previous regime. I don't think Dundalk are out of danger at all.

There have been a few red flags alredy, what impact they will have only time will tell. But this sure isnt a Whight Night coming in, paying creditors and carry on as you were. There has been some things said that I wouldnt post here tbh, cant be verified, could be disgruntled former people involved not happy they were not brough back in to the fold. But there are definitely things to be cocerned about - they may have no impact but could be a type of insight to the character of Temple....or not. To repeat myself I think the key to sorting this out will be the involvement of Donal Greene and people (some might be familiar Americans) he has with him to restore some stability. Weekend results show that we are odds on to be relegated on the pitch which could make SCRP a no brainers as much as it goes against the grain to burn local creditors.

If they are they could take a page from Bohs book and do some Game of Thrones inspired kits. That should pay a few weeks wages.

A Dundalk owner always pays his debts.

**Nesta99** · 23/09/2024, 5:25 PM

That was an odd typo, brain frazzled!

What rumours are flying about now?

Strange statement especially the day that's in it, only rumour that was fairly widely circulating was players hadn't been paid which appears to be false thankfully

**Nesta99** · 03/10/2024, 11:06 PM

It was in one of the local papers this week that players werent paid up fully, ie most recent payment out of the takings from last weekends home game but not payment fully up to date, not so much rumours circulated on local media. Statement is kind of odd, bit all over the place, typos and even the way Maxi's name is put, the tribute to his memory today was irrespective of meetings at the club, internal or external!? Not a statement put together by the usual media people by the sound of it. What have the owners 'not indicated otherwise going forward'....strangely worded indeed!

Beyond bizarre, I didn't even bother posting it online yesterday given the day that was in it. I'd strongly suspect like yourself that the usual media people weren't involved.

I agree, it stinks of a statement written by the new ownership group. Pretty distasteful throwing Maxi into the middle of it, particularly given they day they, again, tone deafly released the statement on

**2 Year Contract** · 04/10/2024, 10:36 PM

LMFM reporting tonight that the Dundalk players haven�t been paid this week. You�d have to assume they wouldn�t have just thrown that out there without being sure of it, considering Dundalk's statement yesterday on the matter.

SPORT: LMFM understands that Dundalk FC players have not been paid this week.

Looks like that LMFM tweet has been deleted...

It has indeed. Maybe their source wasn�t as watertight as they thought. Either that or the solicitor owner had a few words. Or both!

**Nesta99** · 05/10/2024, 11:14 AM

Or that there are still plenty of agendas on the go. Players not paid, probable, some people breaking their necks to let eveyone know, definitely!

The combination of these ideas should be the blueprint for any fan owned club in Ireland, especially those in bigger towns like Dundalk, also being the biggest sporting body in the area.

But it shouldn't have come to this, and is there any guarantee he will pay next months wages if there is no takeover by then?

The new owner has a tweet up saying he hopes LMFM have good lawyers

The wages have been paid.
