TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Peadar, it's clear you're not from D7, and you never will be if you buy it from the Liffey to the Bogies.
It must be miserable living in a place which you despise. I'm sure your neighbours would be equally charmed.
at the end of the day" the eircom league is only a feeder league for england and scotland and thats all it will ever be, any half decent player coming through will be snapped up for a few pence as it showed in the past, daryl murphy from waterford to sunderland for 120.000 asn kevin doyle from cork to reading for 100,000. we will never win when we sell our best players for half nothing.
Eh, I live in D7. Do I win a prize?
Yours faithfully,

You do indeed.
Here it is, available in a range of colours...
Have Boot Disk, will travel
How can Drogs be a model of 'doing things correctly'. I will accept that not quiet in the Shels mold & they do have some serious plans however there hasn't been improvements to United park in the last 20 years & I have only noticed a modest improvements in crowds.
So far the stadium plans for Drogs are just plans (i do not believe planning permission has been granted yet?) & AFAIK the sale of United Park cannot in itself pay for the new stadium & will be considerable shortfall - the longer it takes to start I suppose costs will rise.
Drogs are the new Shels - buying up the best available players in the Dublin area. Bohs will be the new Drogs soon enough. Almost no 'home grown underage' players in the drogs squad.
Its easy to do things correct in the 1st division. The real challenge is to restrain spending when in touching distance of success. In this respect surely Derry City & Cork City are the models for the league. Aside from a small tax bill we have had no negative publicity & we lost double the tax bill in sponsorship feck up last season.
A small tax bill - the revenue issued a winding up order ffs.![]()
Lennox announced a "heads of agreement" or something like that in early December. Now, 10 weeks later do you not find it weird that nothing has been announced. Has the bank loan not come through?
And no the stadium will not be completed in November. It will probably only start in Aug/Sep and will be tight to be ready for the 2008 season. Mosney is the name of an area, not just the old holiday camp. There are changing rooms, gym, video room, dining room, managers office, physio room etc etc as well as the pitches there. Thia was all built three years ago. Look at the 2006 Drogs dvd if you do not believe me.
Still we'll be bust in a year or two![]()
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
people invest in a club, first step stablise the team, bring in a winning manager and players - bring the first cup to the club. Then prepare the building of an ew stadium to guarantee the long term future of the club as the stadium has a number of commercial elements attached. And yet some call these sugar daddies.
Difference with Drogs and Shels we spend money we have. Check the accounts (I sure the UCD heads will help).
It wasn't us with a winding up order last season now was it?
