Well the season they won the league and last played in the Premier Division, they only needed to get a draw to win the league in The Showgrounds. A scappy 100-120 fans were in the Showgrounds that night to see them win the league. Take of that what you will.

Distinct lack of action on this thread from the inchichore mob since we hammered them off the pitch in the swamp last mon in the cup, c'mon lads don't bottle up your bitterness. Although a good few pats folk in the main stand waited to applaud the shels lads off the pitch which was decent of them while the other thicks went out onto the road looking for trouble which the gardai sorted.

Joey that wasn't even nearly funny. Your lot couldn't put us to bed with a man advantage and couldn't do it with your second chance in your own bleedin' ground. Shels will be up next season and you can expect us to be on your heels for the whole thing. We're not gonna be top but we'll be mid table and I say that without an ounce of hesitation.

Joey you're not seeing my point. Your lot couldn't beat us when we were a man down and you couldn't beat us in your own ground - does that not mean that we are a better side? The better side isn't always the one that's ranked higher. For example, Would you consider Galway to be better than Shels? Mongs? Cork? I certainly wouldn't and I'm far from alone in having that opinion.
Shels are a mid table Premier Division side - right now that's theory, this time next season it will be fact.

Some great signings pre-season (Conan Byrne and Oscar Brennan) and great re-signings (Dean Delaney, James English, Derek Predergast, Lorcan Fitz etc). Will be interesting to see how Morris gets on as manager, it's a huge gamble but I'm hoping the calibre of players that have signed and re-signed signal that he's highly thought of.
Club is now debt free with investors on board and we seem to be going in the right direction. Feel good factor definitely seems to be back at the moment. Hopefully a big push for promotion this season

What price are Shels to win the first division?
|
Posted By: Gaz
Date Posted: 10 Jan 2019 at 10:51am
Not sure what price but Bray spending big too so I don't think it's a 1 horse race
The win or bust (or both) comments I don't think are true tbh. Shels are debt free for the 1st time since Ollie's years, new board there, new investor etc. Shels have been extremely frugal since 2006 and I'd be fairly surprised if we were spending above our means all of a sudden

What price are Shels to win the first division?

Market not up but I expect shels to be red hot favourites. They've a team that would stay up in the Premier

Not sure what price but Bray spending big too so I don't think it's a 1 horse race
The win or bust (or both) comments I don't think are true tbh. Shels are debt free for the 1st time since Ollie's years, new board there, new investor etc. Shels have been extremely frugal since 2006 and I'd be fairly surprised if we were spending above our means all of a sudden

Isint it the lad who left rovers? Wanted in there as he’s a fan but the love was unrequited so he upped and left for rovers lite. Apparently he’s fairly ruthless too, by all accounts was talking to heary about extending his deal a day before giving him the old heave ho I think I like him.

Yeah Andrew Doyle (ex Rovers) is the investor. The figure thrown around earlier this year was €500k investment, but not sure how accurate that is. I honestly don't know the ins and outs of our finances. Here is a link to an article earlier in the year, don't think there has been much in the press since:

Also, Kilduff and Conan Byrne are part time. They signed as it suits them professionally (both teachers). So I don't think Shels are 'throwing around money' to the extent you might think

Kilduff was hardly teaching when he was at Rovers, Dundalk and in the US and would have been playing full time?

There's part time clubs in the top division who would have taken them players too. Add in the likes of brennan and likely luke.byrne on the way its clear they are spending a right few quid. No point playing it down if yer man can afford it so what but they have to go up imo

Using Bohs as an example of another debt free club, averaging over 2k attendance & 3 match day bars jammed. Shels with 600 and 1 small bar. The spending certainly looks unsustainable and seems no one has learned anything over the past 10 years. Finances aside it’s ve a very exciting time as a fan, I’m sure Morris will turn out to be a very astute signing
