I hope bohs don't go bust because thats the last thing this league needs at the moment but i do hope they go down to the first division and get themselves sorted out plus we get europe.
Depends how strictly the rules are enforced- bohs kept below the 65% rule last year by getting 800k from Albion just before year end even though licensing has 30th nov as year end.
If they manage to mortgage off a plot of land in the next few weeks, they could hang on- though it's unlikely th revenue will back off(because bohs have assets) and th FAI won't hand over the league prize money because examinership will mean they will lose their money.
If fai follow the rules we're 90% in Europe, if bohs are given more time & let off the hook it's less
likely.
Ironic thing is that it's likely bohs will be forced by an examiner to sell dalier so they could end up renting tolka from Shels!
Fold me now , were shite , we've got no money :P is that the song that'll get played at HT when there in the 1st Division . They like Johnny Logan in those parts . Hope we get into europe . Wouldnt like to see them goin bust , just a Shel's job is all
WATRA
Could this mean we become the only club to be ever-present in the Premier Division? We'll have to get a shiny new Never Relegated banner!!!
Did'nt they have to pay 50 grand by tonight.
I see Bohs having to sell of Dalymount to a speculator at a knock down price just to stay in existence. The have nobody but themselves to blame.
I would imagine its more likely that fairies complete a takeover at Bohs than they sell Dalymount for any decent price in the current financial climate I still think some people aren't grasping the sheer financial black hole the country is in at the minute.I see Bohs having to sell of Dalymount to a speculator at a knock down price just to stay in existence.

Lads I know I'm always prattling on about teams not being relegated or shels coming back up etc but put it this way.
Bohs and shels v Bray and mons.
Each bohs or shels game would boost our attendence by 1000 as opposed to Bray and mons.
1000x15 is E15,000. Now multiply that by 4 (2 home games from each club). That's 60 grand lads. 3 super players on part time contracts.
Honestly can't see how them being down benefits Pats. Slap transfer bans, let them start -15 points for three seasons, whatever but we are not even getting the chance to hammer them at this stage.
Yeah I agree to an extent. Although we'd get europe which would soften the financial blow. Also we'll have one less team challenging next season but I do agree with you
The premier division really needs its strongest teams in it to thrive.
they will be all back up next season anyway least this season we would get europe
True but were in the same boat as most others so its no major disadvantage. The change to a 12/16 team league will do nothing to help attendances. Less dublin derbies means less gates.
All ireland league I'd the only hope imo. I know your views on that btw alan so not starting a row
anyone else think bhos will get away with this again?
And Brian Kerr is in tears.
