Like it or not.
Shels are sitting on a lot of money and despite all that has been reported we are still in possession of a large enough asset for this joke to happen a good few more times.

I wish it didnt happen this way and we paid our tax on time but I don't see what rule Ollie is breaking by allowing revenue to call his bluff every few months.

Its no good for Shels and I don't enjoy it but I don't think there is much we can do.

Ollie may appear to be heading for the same crash as Rovers did but if you look at both cases it was ready made for the 400 club to take over after the mess that happened.

Rovers made the whole thing go bang. They got involved, asked awkward questions and ultimately ratted out the idiots in charge to the relevant authorities, clearing the way for them to take over.

You won't take over Shels with an attitude of "It won't happen" or "It's too difficult". And someone needs to take Shels off Ollie.

The developer is quite happy to sit on Tolka for 10 years. He has enough work, both here and abroad, to last for a while yet.
From what I've heard, Shels ( and Tolka ) are in real poo. I fear for Shels.

Incorrect - the 400 Club forced Branvard (trading as SRFC) into Examinership. The 400 Club informed the FAI about licencing irregularities. The 400 Club seized control of the football club before it was too late.

We made it go bang. You lot on the other hand are propping Ollie up. Instead of paying to print the programme you should be demanding answers.

Ollie is actually doing a Kilcoyne and a Maguire at the same time. Impressive stuff. As someone else pointed out if Ollie was at Rovers he'd have been strung up now.

The biggest mistake a fanbase can make is to confuse short term success with long term viabilty. A mistake that Shels fans are guilty of.

The man is a lot smarter than you all give him credit for.

Course he always covers himself. That's why he spent time in prison......

Course he's a regular rocket scientist. That's why he openly admitted in a national newspaper that he plays games with the Revenue and tells them anything to just fob them off.

A real regular Untouchable Einstein, good aul' teflon Olly.....

Jabba the Hutt was pretty smart too. Didn't mean he wasn't a sleazy slimeball that got his come-uppance in the end. How much would it cost to get Carrie Fisher over?
