It's a non-story, won't be happening. I'd be angry enough if I was a Dundalk fan and the FAI were trying to shovel their sh*t downstream, even angrier that clubs can waste years upon years of euro money and then come looking to leech off our hard work.
This isn't a serious proposal. The FAI will get the league restarted, as time goes on UEFA will be looking at the situation and we'll get into the question again of whether we should be allowed to field a national team without a functioning league. They tried to dump the league before and realised that UEFA won't let them do it without sacrificing their cash cow national side. The money will eventually turn up from the Mick and Robbie fund. What's happening now is they're trying to paint a picture of a poor damsel in distress league, in the hope that someone in Leinster House will pick up the tab.

Just say no. Cork City are in debt because numptys elected their buddies. The other clubs should not have to give them money.

Not paying a cent to teams who had several times our budget and failed to spend their way to the top. We've earned our euro money by living within our means. The money will always be found for the national team.

and the FAI think the 4 euro clubs should bail out the league?
Bohs should hand over money to the likes of pats and Derry to pay players wages , full time players, while we continue to be part time and live within our means?? f**k off.

Players were getting laid off 2/3 weeks into the virus (along with most staff at some clubs).....the writing was on the wall weeks ago.

most clubs will lose a large chunk of sponsors due to businesses closing and not having any spare money due to the pandemic and they need this in normal times to keep them going never mind now when their expected to play with no match revenue.

I think all players are going to be laid off. The league could struggle to have any full time professional players next season.

Years of LOI internal mismanagement combined with an administering governing body led by a Kleptocrat was never going to work out well. Looks like we need a wealthy benefactor, or a few of them, to bail the league out. Someone ask the multinational companies to sponsor a team each. We might even pick up a few new supporters along the way. |

Could some kind of allowance be given to the clubs from the FAI to come up with some sort of business plan to get out of this?

Can't simply point the finger of blame at the current board for the majority of clubs in the country being appallingly run, it comes from years of neglect. It needed a huge amount of work before Covid, let alone now. I see a number going to the wall unfortunately. The European money clubs were due has been used to plug holes for years in an undercover manner as Dundalk can vouch for. That's what started all this unravelling with the €100k loan. I don't know the details of what was suggested last night. What was the comeback on it? What if it was a loan to be repaid with interest when things level out? Clubs are going to have to take a hit somewhere and there's little appetite to.

I don't know where it comes from, thats the FAI's job to figure out. So far they have come up with the idea of taking money of clubs!! it's laughable Quin also suggested the idea in his meeting with the PFAI that maybe players will have to take pay cuts, yet half the players in the league are currently not even being paid!!

I'm not suggesting that's the solution. I don't know what is. There was €4.3m of UEFA emergency money from the hat-trick fund supposed to be coming in only it was discovered JD had already cashed it in. That's the root of the problem here. I wish there was a money tree we could shake. There was due to be an injection of cash into the association once the Euros happened whether we qualified or not. That's gone for a year. There were supposed to be a number of internationals from Sept through autumn. Gone as well. Where do you suggest the money comes from? I'm out of ideas. Only 5 clubs want to play, that's down to the clubs. It's a perfect storm and very worrying.

What would you do if you were in Quinns shoes now in regard a financial plan? The Fai needed a bail out before he even got the job it is hardly afloat with cash atm that he can magically throw at clubs to get the league underway. It’s current state is down to years of negligence under Delaney and we are still seeing the full effects of his reign. If the 4.5 million wasn’t already drawn down by Delaney previously then the league would be back up and running.

None of which is the fault of the European clubs. How can they even give 100k when there is no time line for next season qualifiers? When will the clubs be receive the money for next seasons qualifiers? Has your Bohs got 100k lying around to give away?

Good honest post Drumcondra69er and it's a reality. I would have a fair idea of what's going on and for now fai at absolute rock bottom finance wise with no funds coming in.
Niall Quinn means well and ye he is bluffing a bit hoping fifa give funds soon but it's only a gloss over. COVID couldn't have came at a worse time for fai or LOI. Just as season starts ! And dont be under any illusion that the top four clubs are financially safe either. My feeling is that a government loan will be made available to LOI but if the FAI old guard hang in then ????

If the LOI does not start back up then its finished, many clubs will never return. Say goodbye to a National Team for a while The FAI are still a shambles from top to bottom
