Sorry the Shels Spokesmans statement in the papers at the weekend. From reading the shelsweb forum there is a huge amount of ambiguity in Ollies comments to the meeting on friday.
Nor I Dodge, I was thinking I had completely missed the boat. Cheers for confirming Dodge.

The Star on Saturday and the Indo were the two I saw the spokesman wasnt named Gareth.
I know the spokesman wasn't gareth , because that would render my question a bit odd. I was wondering who put their name to it,, is all. Do you have one?

Shels have no spokesperson other than Ollie. When papers like the Star use the word spokesperson they usually mean rumour or something we made up
Todays Sun says Geoghegan is having second thoughts and names Olllie as claiming he was getting the job.The more worrying thing is they also say shels upto yesterday evening had not paid the outstanding wages they owe and the PFAI are looking for a transfer embargo to be applied to Shels.
An excerpt from Emmet Malone's piece in todays Times.
The whole thing - subscription neededShelbourne were still on course last night to confirm the appointment of Stephen Geoghegan as their new manager with chief executive Ollie Byrne remarking there were "only one or two minor details remaining to be sorted out".
Geoghegan has himself suggested there are issues outstanding in relation to the club's finances but both parties appear confident the situation will be resolved in the next few days.
The club has been seeking to replace Pat Fenlon for several weeks and a degree of urgency surrounds the situation given the number of players that have left Tolka Park since the end of last season.
Byrne has dismissed suggestions that Geoghegan, a hugely successful striker during his nine seasons with Shelbourne, is too inexperienced, insisting Fenlon was in a similar situation when he made the transition from player to manager four years ago.
The fact, however, that Geoghegan lacks the Uefa B coaching badge required by managers of clubs entering the qualifying stages of the Champions League has created difficulties for Byrne who will attempt to sidestep the rule by ostensibly handing Jason Donoghue, a coach who has been working with Geoghegan at AUL outfit WFTA (West Finglas Tenants' Association), responsibility for picking the team.
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.
West Finglas Tenants' Association manager picks team for Champions League!
Shels look like they are haeding towards a brick wall very fast im afraid.I feel sorry for genuine Shels supporters but they should have stood up to Ollie a long time ago.
We had the exact same situation at Galway over 6 years ago but we have come back a better and stronger club somehow i dont think shels will recover from the latest blow.
