I liked this part I read in the Indo recently

In its company accounts, Bohemian directors state that they are confident the club can return to profitability within one to two years and that if its financial health further deteriorates, assets could be revalued to reflect a higher value than that currently on the club's balance sheet.



Isn't that fraud?

They've finally found a way to clone Deegan. The fiends.

Apparently we've signed Dean Marshall , probably last seen in Bohs A team , any opinions?

He's a previous Irish underage international and looked good for us when he was on trial last season and should have been signed. Certainly has talent but obviously can't comment on his application.

Can't see Byrne going to Rovers tbh, unless Twigg goes back to Scotland.

Stranger things have happened, and I think it's only a matter of time before bohs stop paying wages and he'll have to take a drop in wages and move elsewhere in order to get paid.

Would rovers want him? They could do worse...

Have you sources for this sh1t or are you pulling it out of your arse?

Barring a miracle against Red Bull I can see Byrne and several others go at the end of the season but I cant see any of the starting 11 go to another LOI side in the transfer window. Im sure we'll accept any offers for players from the UK though.

Can yous really afford to be picky at the moment?

stovelid

If he doesn't get an offer from abroad, a player like JB could certainly end up with a club like Rovers. I'd have him in a heartbeat, if the wages were right.

Remember that for the first time in years, there will be no profligate Shels/Drogs/Bohs to hoover up players in the premier.

Consider the current top four, excluding Bohs: Cork are an obvious no-no. Derry are supposed to pretty strapped after losing sponsors. Only Rovers are in relatively reasonable financial shape, but will still not offer those kind of wages.

Just for fun really, how much is part timer Darragh Maguire on at Rovers?

Gavin "shels"

Mark Hughes from Bohs is signing on loan supposely (was sitting in Tolka tonight). Andrei Georgescu was sitting next to Hughes, was talking to Georgie at the bus stop and he said he needs to decide by next week what he's doing with his career - either LSL teams who are looking at him or Shels if Keely offers. Then Ray Scully is in talks with us aswell, I know he is Pats nephew, thats about it. Keely also talked with one other player today, but his name is a mystery.

You're just annoyed because I didn't mention you in the top four clubs.

The point isn't what particular players are on. It's whether you can pay them on what you generate in income, and not with the help of a benefactor or overdraft.

Well you seem to sh1t out your mouth. This is what I quoted "JASON BYRNE the only other league of ire club i will sign for is shamrock rovers." No question marks there. If you're going to make statements like that, you should provide a source.

The source as i said was jason byrne .And there is no point talking to people like you who seem to want to start a row over the slightest little thing . i asked a question gave a quote from the player himself and you start a row over it god you must have a lot of rows wit people if your having one wit me over something like this.

It's a common enough occurrence on boards for people to ask for a source when someone posts info, there's no need for anyone to get their knickers in a twist because they're asked to back up a statement...but if they can't, they shouldn't expect people to take their word as gospel either.

Along with the 3 above, Anthony Costigan from St.Pats is training with us, Rob Douglas from Crumlin Utd and then some Lativan is coming over on trial soon aswell.

@TheBigLebowski.

IIRC, one of the lads on another forum reckons that JB has said that only other club he'd play for is Rovers. His (JB's) old man or another family member ( I think) is supposed to have quoted him on it. Vaguely remember reading it, anyway.

How true it is, who knows?

He lives around the corner from me. Hopefully I'll bump into him one of these days and collar him about it.

Ahh nuts one of the few players who looks like he wants to play for us. Looks like a decent prospect. Can play left wing or left back, done very well in pre season games. Scored vs Limerick in his 1st real game for us hasnt been in the squad since. Jeff Kenna is a master at motivation:mad:.

I'd say it would be only on loan tbh, Mark Hughes and Anthony Costigan would be loan deals and the rest permanent signings.

Good to see Georgie back, hopefully he gets a game or two and prove he can score. Sound lad aswell, remember last season we were fixing the oul Tifo flags up before a match and he came up and started chatting to us, and then at the bus stop after the Mervue game talking to him aswell.

PDN

Drogs have signed Brendan McGill and (for a second time) Guy Bates. Thiongs are getting better. Let's hope we can afford to pay them this time round!

I’d be surprised if he’s being released – Kenna spoke quite highly of him after the Limerick game. It wouldn’t make much sense to bring him into the first team squad and then release him a few weeks later.

Couple of decent signings there – makes for an interesting relegation battle!

What bets Drogs finish above CCFC this season? Spirits seem to be high for Drogs where as morale is said to be at an all time low at CCFC.

Cork City have missed paying wages on at least three occasions this season.

Of course Drogs should finish on more points than them.

Gypsies need to win league and beat Red Bull to avoid relegation

By Neil Ahern
Friday July 10 2009

BOHEMIANS will be facing almost certain relegation at the end of the season unless they pull off a massive double.
Bohs will be teetering over the trapdoor into the First Division if they fail to retain the League of Ireland championship and miss out on progression into the second qualification round of the Champions League, it was claimed at a club information meeting last Tuesday night.
Club members were informed by finance director, Chris Brien, that failure to win the league title and beat Red Bull Salzburg in the first qualifying round of the Champions League, would leave them 15pc above the FAI's 65pc Salary Cost Protocol.
EXPULSION
That would mean having to raise over €250,000 of extra funds in order to conform with the maximum percentage of income clubs are allowed to spend on players' wages.
According to the figures released at the meeting, Bohs are currently at a level of roughly 68pc.
If they end the season above the cut-off point, they will face relegation, expulsion from any European competition for which they qualify and will also relinquish any trophies they win this season.
According to the club's finance committee, the prize money earned from a second successive League of Ireland title and progression in the Champions League, along with the extra finances that would bring, is the only way in which they can avoid relegation.
And even that might not be enough as they would still be spending 67pc of their income on players' salaries and in need of an estimated €140,000 to edge below the 65pc mark, it was stated.
The members were told that the club had budgeted to spend €1.4m on players' wages this season, but that figure had to be increased to €1.6m to take into account bonuses still due to the players for their league win last season.
Their players' wage bill in 2008 was in excess of €1.9m. The players accepted a wage cut at the start of the season but they are still earning an average of €70,000 per year.
Bohs' general secretary, Gerry Conway, has suggested that some figures with regard to gate receipts for July may have been underestimated in the finance committee's address to the members and expressed confidence that the club would comply with the FAI's Salary Cost Protocol this season.
"I have 100pc faith that we will not be in breach of the Protocol on November 30 (the FAI deadline)," he said.
"There are other income sources which may not have been factored into these figures because that money is not yet at hand."
The FAI declined to comment on Bohs' current situation, but in an interview with the Irish Independent in May, Internal Compliance Officer Padraig Smith outlined the association's concerns over the club's wage-bill.
"The Salary Cost Protocol is a big issue for them this year," said Smith. "When you have salaries that are so high and the other side of the business is not generating sufficient income to match that expenditure, it's obviously worrying.
"We've met with the club and they (are) well aware of their obligations and the sanctions for breaching those rules.
"It is something that we will be monitoring throughout the season and we'll know by the end of the year if they've breached the Salary Cost Protocol. If they do breach it, they will be sanctioned."
Some members are already privately resigned to the club reverting to a part-time set-up next year, possibly in the First Division.

1.9 million on wages last year. That's 500k more than our entire turnover.

As for relegation, I'll believe it when I see it.

When Sligo played Bray a few weeks ago, they only had two or three subs on the bench and one was keeper. Think they did something similar in the matches around it too.

Almost, it was the fact that Sligo Rovers fans were fine with the weakened teams being put out due to the situation we were in financially/injuries/suspensions wise at the times whereas Bohs heads seemed to think it was a disgrace/joke/? that we dont have a squad of 20 odd pros on the books:eek: (joke was that the bohs away game was a shopping trip:o:p)

I like bohs, hope they survive but they are ovedue a slap off the FAI
