Two ****ing years ago and still to pay, serious questions need to be asked of the board wtf is going on. No programmes (last few games last year due to bill to printers) building materials not paid for for over two years, players unpaid. Things need to be seriously addressed and some communication to the fans would be nice but that doesn't usually happen.

the printing thing was the most obvious sign of problems - rumour was that a number local printers were owed money therefore, a programme could'nt be arranged.. didnt know bout this though.. hard to know if this is isolated but your have to say thats unlikely

How much of it for Rico's Door? ;-)

**Peadar** · 09/03/2007, 1:07 PM

Rico is a part-time repo man and he was trying to recover some of the building supplies.

**Maz** · 09/03/2007, 1:12 PM

Its only a small amount of what is owed out to people I'd say.

**Dricky** · 09/03/2007, 1:15 PM

He's going to try to fit a few windows instead

He was only trying to escape, they were riding him rock solid at the time

Your equivalent to Rovers' dry cleaners and Shels' everything

Lads, I'm confused. Longford have the UEFA license so their wages must have been up to date last November?

Did Paisley not just get released?

**Dodge** · 09/03/2007, 2:13 PM

He did. Longford are saying that all moneys have been paid to players. Paisley said that they had missed enough consecutive payments for him to be released. I don't think it matters that he was subsequently paid. He's expected to sign for Pats and may face them tomorrow evening

Cool, thanks.

Good player to get, especially for free.

There were some foolish decisions made, no doubt about it.There's debts going back to the building of Flancare Park.People jumped the gun and built the thing without having all the money in place. It's all being dealt with, at the detriment of our playing budget as it should be. There's a Supporters Trust formed for this purpose,and to date there's 106 members paying €25 a month. Plus sponsorship has increased. That judgement isn't being enforced as a schedule has been agreed as it has with other creditors including the printers, there's a programme tomorrow night, such as it is anyway. We had budgets for players in the last couple of years that were too optimistic and now we've had to scale back. It's going to be a tough year but we'll definitey be the better for it in the long run if people stick with it.

As for Paisley,there's questions to be asked about the make up of the tribunal panel given one particular person's role in the start of the situation.
