    AFAIK you can loan as many players as you want but can have no more than 4 in your squad for matches. There is alot of free agents still unsigned and it looks as if they have a keeper sorted in Dean Delaney as he left derry after failing to agree terms. Derry signin Ola a Danish keeper (oops that aint official yet) Is Mick O'Donnell signed for any1 yet. he supposed to be keen on stayin in Dublin 'cause o work/study (not sure which).
    either way with a weekly wage budget of 9k in Dublin you can attract a side capable of competin in 1st Div. especially under keely's own brand of "sexy football"

    If Shels are allowed enter the league with debts outstanding and put together a budget of 9k a week for the First Division it's the fcukin disgrace to end all disgraces

    I agree. They should be able to survive on half that.

    Keely to manage current League Champions in the First Division?

    Looks like the standard of football just dropped a hell of a lot lower in the First
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Anyone know what the 1st Division average is? If they start living beyond their menas again they should be kicked out. The FAI should warn them now to declare their intent.
    TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    I know operate at a lower level than most after paying up debts, but I'd imagine the average is around 5 or so?

    I mean, just think of the crowds Division One gets.

    And if they're not living beyond their means on E9k?

    There were figures up from the Star a couple of years ago. UCD were second in the Premier on turnover of about E350k, or about E9k a week, given a 39-week season. That had to cover travel, match-day costs, the various other teams we put out, etc. I think that was about mid-table turnover-wise for the division.

    I think Harps budget is usually 5-7k the last couple of seasons and our debt aint near the same as Shels and we will prob attract more support than Shels this season

    Their outgoing chairman - Brown - said that the would have a wage budget bigger than two-thirds of the Premier Division this year. Media speculates their budget will be 9-11k per week.

    For a club with huge debts that is pretty shocking in all fairness. Even when you take away the money owed to Revenue and players, there are still many outstanding debts and Shels will still be living off whatever OK wants to throw at them, until he decides that he has waited around long enough.

    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.

    I have no idea which ones are loan deals apart from the first three which afaik we have signed -> Tony O'Dowd, Jim Crawford, James Chambers, Mark O'Brien, Davitt Walsh, Conor Rafferty, Brian Gartland, Ciarán Ryan, Wayne Byrne, Kieran Harte, John Brophy, Aaron McEniff, James Hussey. I'm not too sure if these are even confirmed (apart from the frist 3) but what are being mentioned on various club websites!

    RULE 38. REGISTRATION AS PER AGREEMENT

    (a) The registration of Professionals shall be binding in accordance with the provision of Rule 36 and the termination of the agreement between Clubs and players.

    A Professional may at any stage be registered for the following or subsequent seasons for his own Club, but shall not enter into any engagement with another Club in membership of this or any other National Association until 6 months before his existing engagement is terminated.

    A Club or a member of a Club or any person shall not induce or attempt to induce a registered Professional player to leave the Club for which he is registered until the period of his registration has expired.

    (b) No player either Amateur or Professional shall play for two Clubs during the same season without first obtaining a transfer from his original Club and League. Original shall mean the Club which the player has signed a form and first registered with a League during any one season.

    But as O'Dowd (according to the papers) is still signed on with Malahide United - is exempt from that rule - as he is still active with a club.

    As I read it - Rule 38 - iirc - deals with those who are "unattached"

    What?!?

    Only seeing this thread now. That is an absolute disgrace if the FAI let Shels go ahead with a budget like that and €12 million or whatever it is in debt.

    Disgusting if true. Harps board and supporters have been working their balls off fundraising throughout the close season to put a good squad together capable of challenging. They are going to have a budget, effectively twice ours HANDED to them while they owe half the country money!!

    I'm quickly losing whatever sympathy I had for them. Like someone else pointed out, it is as if no one has learned anything.

    Still, two of our ex-players they have signed, Walsh and Harte would not have made our team this year. Been lucky to make the squad to be honest.

    Shelbourne's budget is to be underwritten by Ossie Kilkenny.

    There's also the fact that Shels are exempt to the rules,or so we've been told by so many people on here for the past 5 years.

    Which makes it all the worse for Division One club fans.

    Alot of them have cleaned up their act and sorted their finances in the past few seasons. Now Shels are thrown into the mix - a club beinh handed 9-11k p/week in wages by some businessman and who are massively in debt. It is very frustrating, I think KCFC will do the talking on the pitch on the 9th.

    As far as I am concerned one does not sign a Premier squad for a small club and then run off where more money is at the first opportunity. He let the club down big time. He is the sort that convinces boards he has what it takes to deliver if they make the resources available (just look at Dublin City). We as a club fell for it.

    He is undoubtadly a cheque book manager.

    Thankfully we are now pretty much debt free and have all the tax paid up. A fresh start for us from this season forth. Lets hope we don't appoint a journey man like him ever again - a lesson learnt.
    That's one way of looking at it, or you could say that he put a squad and a team in place that should have went up only for Hannigan to come in and and mess it up.

    I'd gladly settle for a "journey man" to come in and put a squad together that could challenge for promotion because John Ryan certainly won't, especially on the budget that he has.
