Is that definitely the case? I had thought it was tomorrow that it would have to be done by. Another couple of weeks could be useful if worst were to come to the worst.Originally Posted by Battery Rover

The finacials have to be in by tomorrow so worst case scenario is that a club will be asked for the extra information when the first instance committee meet on the 16th.
It is like this thing with Bertie Ahern not having a tax clearance cert once you are in talks it is ok as that is the law of the land.
Our wage issue will be sorted fully tomorrow and from what I hear so will the tax bill. It was getting very worrying at one stage
I'd hope we'll be ok too. Fingers crossed for everyone to get through it, the league definitely doesnt need to lose any more clubs.

Cheers..We hate ye guys too!

The Jan 31st deadline is for audited accounts only as all other aspects of licensing had to be submitted back in Oct 07.
The last I heard was for a Feb 15th'ish date for the results!
The audited accounts would be for the 2007 season of course so depending on what you submitted already you may be in trouble anyway ??
In the case of clubs having large tax and wage debts, is it certain that the licensing committee will return with deadlines for these to be paid and no fines/points deductions.
When Shelbourne were found out last season we got punished but also got some deadlines for the 2007 season. Having lied in previous submissions they were left with no option but to punish us and did so by sending us to the First Division.
I'd imagine any club set a deadline to sort out their affiars for the 2008 season will also (or should?) get punished.

White smoke has issued from the pow wow today. We have all matters in hand now. Shouldn't be any licensing problems this year thankfully. Onwards and upwards.

i assumed our A league side would be our under 20s supplemented by whatever players aren't getting a run in the first team or who are coming back from injury.
surely the under 20s will train together and so will the first team. goughie and/or billy (or whoever takes u20 team) should take the A league team for games. there is no need to have a separate team / management structure for the non-entity that is the A league. The only reason for it is to allow fringe/injured/young players the opportunity to get games and results are not an issue.
if we spend anywhere near €100k on it then we need our heads examined. we should only be paying the travel costs in addition to our normal expenses.
there should be no player recruitment for this league in addition to normal squad for our first team and u20's.
if TC has a squad of 25 players and no more than 14 can play on any given weekend then it stands to reason that the other 11 will play in this A division. assuming approx. 3 to 4 players to be injured at any one time then the balance will come from the u20 squad.
i think the people who are spouting off about 30 players plus under 20 squad are talking sh1te. we don't give a fiddlers for this A league so it will only be a matter of giving the lads who are not playing regularly a run out at the weekend.
IN SHORT WHATEVER SQUAD TC FEELS ARE NEEDED FOR THE SEASON SHOULD BE SIGNED, U20 MANAGER DO THE SAME, THEN JUST FULFILL THE A-LEAGUE GAMES BECAUSE WE ARE TOLD WE NEED TO.
And what happens when your under 20s/A team are playing the same day.Do we slice players in half and managers/physios & Kit Man. Philip Coffey is the new A Team Manager by the way.
If players get injured playing for the A Team do we tell them go away and pay your own Medical expenses.

Never understood the point of having a Championship made up of reserve players from clubs who can ill-afford it, recipe for disaster in my book, I mean how are Cobh, UCD etc. paying for this?
