2008 Licences

[Battery Rover]

Can anyone tell me where I can read a copy of the actual requirements in order to secure/maintain the EL Licence? I know a lot of it is financial stability but I'm curious about the 'football' side of things

Think this is what you are looking for http://www.fai.ie/pdf/FAI_Club_Licen...anual_2008.pdf all 220 pages of it

Cheers Battery Rover. A long read ahead

I'm not sure the 'A' Championship is going to increase the wage bill all that much. Unless you have a squad like Drogheda or Shels 2004-2006 I think it'll be mainly inexperienced young players getting a shot or injured players returning and senior fringe players who didn't figure the previous game. Clubs aren't going to go out and sign players to field in the division.

Premier Clubs will have to have squads of 30 plus their u20 players to field 3 teams this season and we have budgeted the A Team to cost us in excess of €100K .

[Mr A]

we have budgeted the A Team to cost us in excess of €100K

Seriously? That seems a bit excessive! I'd say the majority of our A side will be first team squad players who'd be getting paid anyway and then other guys not getting paid.

You are going to have a full Management team structure for the A team and depending on First/U20'S Fixtures you are going to need 8/12 Players to fill the gaps. You will also have travel/medical/affiliation and ancillary costs.

Budget for the A League alone is 150k thats probably twice limericks budget
with a 3 year plan to get that to 450k...

Once again with the Limerick obsession.

Factually rubbish mind.

You know about as much about Limerick's budgets as a cat knows about his father.

[geezer]

must be zilch at this stage and why are your fans asking us for info on the gufc forum. zilch money,zilch manager, zilch information flow, and yet yee go out of your way to spurn offers of help from other supporters groups. Its true your sc worked hard last year and achieved a lot and well done. The only interst I have is Lims could provide a decent derby opportunity if the house was in order. Lims and Athlone were always 2 places a fair scattering of utd support travelled to in the past. I will stay away from your forum if thats ok as well

Why don't you ask them??

zilch money

zilch manager

You know about as much about Limerick's managerial situation as a cat knows about his father.

zilch information flow

I know exactly what's going on.

Thank you for your concern.

Its true your sc worked hard last year and achieved a lot and well done.

Thanks, how very patronising of you.

The only interst I have is Lims could provide a decent derby opportunity if the house was in order.

If our house was in order Galway would probably be fifth or sixth in our list of games to look forward to.

But thank you so very much for your interest.

and yet yee go out of your way to spurn offers of help from other supporters groups. I will stay away from your forum if thats ok as well

Well if you go on to our forum one last time you will see 4tothefloor explaining the stuff we are doing and why your constant bleating about your precious trust is frankly a bit gay.

If we want you we'll call you.

I pwomise

Without labouring a point :

You know about as much about Limerick supporters activities as a cat knows about his father.

[Maz]

I'm hearing that ours could be looking bad with the tax thing hanging over us. Watch this space I suppose

[Buile Shuibhne]

I know that accounts info from all clubs has to be submitted by tomorrow Thursaday 31st - but how long will it take to assess that and when will the clubs be notified about the licences and then the results made public?

Maybe next week?

[gufct]

The way things are going id say the week before the season starts. There are questions over Limerick,Athlone and now Longford along with one other club I have heard of myself.

Until clubs take responsibility for their actions and live within their Budgets this is going to keep on happening. The 65% Rule has to be introduced completely with no fudging or derogations.

Licencing committeee meets on the 16th or 18th February can't remember which. We have a tax bill to pay but should be able to manage it, hopefully anyway.

[gufct]

I thought any debts had to be settled by tomorrow. Hope ye pull through though.

How did you find out about L37Ultra's multiple personalities?? And how's the all mighty GUST's search for Maddie and the WMD's going??

[Battery Rover]

Once a club is in talks with the revenue it covers your accounts but agreement must be met by the time of the first instance committee on the 16th February

[gufct]

cheers same goes for Athlone and Limerick despite their 2 no 1 fans insulting anyone who shows any kind of Interest in their clubs fortunes.

A large proportion of that has to be paid from Cup final prizemoney it was only 140 grand which is nothing compared to what Shels and Cork were faced with!!
