What's Roddy's role these days?

Commercial Manager or Chief Executive, have seen references to both. Hasn't been Chairman for at least 2 years.
Is anybody else getting sick and tired of reading about Oily?
I got no lips I got no bones where there
were eyes there's only space
He's spent the last fortnight in a whirlwind tour of any media outlet that will have him, trying to drum up any interest in Shels plight that might persuade some newly enriched guillible son of the Celtic Tiger to write him a blank cheque. Even his admissions of guilt were straight out of the "any publicity is good publicity" approach to PR.
Unfortunately/fortunately it would appear nobody really cares.
I'd say that was probably his plan alright, but it's backfired badly.
Shels is a badly wounded animal amongst what is considered an endangered species (Eircom League clubs). Looking for investors when you're on a high and have a positive story to sell is one thing. Going out with the begging bowl when you're on your last legs and your reputation is shot to pieces is just too little too late. No right minded investor would put anything into the mess that Shels are at the moment. And any that did would do it at a ridiculously low fire-sale price. Either way, Ollie's desperation is pungent and will see Shels being sold short.
The question is, why didn't he make such a concerted effort when the club was on a high and he'd good news to sell, rather than bad...?
Would be interesting to see how bad Shels attendances would be if the DID NOT WIN the league...I see Ollie's up to the old antics of blaming Summer football for something that didn't actually happen....
"Last year was a disaster for the Eircom League as regards attendances".
If he still had two cents left over with all his debts paid he'd be solvent !
You'll find out this season.Would be interesting to see how bad Shels attendances would be if the DID NOT WIN the league...
Just go into the transfer thread and look at the amount of players that have left and who they are. Basically they have no squad left.
On another note stu, well spotted that the bookies were asleep the other day regarding the setanta cup group betting. got cork 6/4 on boyles.. they have changed now allright..
nice one man.. i dont even have to buy you a pint! glory be to the internet!
Excuse my ignorance, but the best way to dispel it is to ask the question: what is Ossie Kilkenny's interest in Shels and/or Tolka?
Ollie sold him first option (I think that's the phrase) on Tolka. Kilkenny will buy the lease off Ollie when the land is rezoned and Shels are in Morton (or wherever) and build on it. He's forwarded some of the money that will be due to Shels, funding Ollie's recent spending, but has stopped recently causing the current money woes.
That's my understanding of the situation anyway, no doubt other posters are better informed.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
The love of the game.............
Oy! Where'd you get that from?!
If mentioning something once or twice on an internet site constituted an obsession, the men in white coats would have taken you away a long time ago.PS - If you're going to lie awake at night tossing and turning under the weight of a feeble little grudge, at least make it an up-to-date one......Originally Posted by Poor Student
I've found myself saying the same thing about your own chairman.
Only in good ol' Eire could the chairman of the nationa sports council own
the principal football stadium in the country and plan to "develop" it

Once or twice on an internet site ?? Once or twice a month maybe....!
They rang ahead to say they were still frantically looking for you in the Dublin area.......
The ongoing UCD obsession with Jim Roddy - who hasn't even been our Chairman for years now....
