This is my feeling aswell. Transparency and accesibility are used as a stick to beat organisations.

Doubt it was anything like that especially when the people named were legitimate people who've been involved with a pro club and doubt any club would come public if they hadn't already met these people, Limerick owner Pat O'Sullivan has held talks with people about taking the club off his hands but because he owns the club and doesn't need a vote from members means he doesn't have to go public with the news.

The story as I heard it is ridiculous. Apparently an individuals son goes to college with some Saudi lad and the Saudi lad said his dad would buy the club. Even though they met the Saudis it just stank of bullsh*t. When it first broke I assumed the Saudis approached the club. This makes it sound like it was on the promise of a child in the schoolyard.

Johnny Ward broke the story and he's a Galway fan. They hardly rang Bryan Dobson and asked him break the story on the Six One news.

Because people within the club sought publicity over the takeover and told RTE etc.

Embarresimg how? The vote was only to vote on whether or not the trust should talk with the Saudis about potential investment, not a yes or no on whether they should sell up. The trust had nothing to lose by talking with them and its probably better now for a deal to fall through rather than after someone takes majority control of the club which would have been embarrassing.

Wasn't the very reason the trust talking to these guys the fact that they could not get enough support to continue and grow the club. If the Galway public supported the club in enough numbers the trust would not have needed to look at other options. |

Someone slip sheikh Mohammed whatever his name is Pat O'Sullivans phone number. Galway already have a trust going who run the club, they'll probably always be upper first Divison being fan owend. So let the Saudis do whatever with the possibility of success and keep the trust going in the background for when they'll need to step back in.
