A splendid example of how not to run a football club. Utter stupidity from Seery. He has certainly reaped what he has sown. While I (obviously) have no problems with small clubs in our league, it's hard to feel any sympathy for a club which goes under after such blatantly reckless trading.
I have to agree with Billy Lord that it is an utter disgrace too that a club can get a Premier Division licence and cease to trade half way through the season. The FAI wil have us believe that a super-duper hand-picked league is the way forward - maybe they might be better advised to start implementing their own licencing rules? There is no reason to believe that the new league will do anything to stop a further recurrence (e.g. Shels). DC were giving two fingers up at all the clubs who run their affairs properly, and the FAI did nothing to stop it. I would love to see a creditor sue the FAI for failure to implement licencing!(I accept that' not going to happen...)
What's going to happen with the league points then? I assume DC's points will get stripped from the record? Three extra points for us then!
Any preferences for a new club to enter the league? Presumably a club from Mayo or Kerry would be at the fore given they've been in the League Cup and U-21 league in the last couple of seasons.
