Looking slightly up in Drogheda
Credit:
Today Drogheda United released mildly better news than yesterday, although that is like saying you're a midget, but you are quite tall in midget terms...
In a brief respite from horror news, they have even paid credit to John Delaney. 'Indebted' to him in these financially frigid times, however, means very little. Anyway, enough about us, here's their press release:
'Statement 7th Jan 2009
'At a Meeting at the FAI in Abbotestown today chaired by FAI CEO John Delaney a useful exchange of views took place and significant progress was made in our efforts to reach a settlement with the PFAI.
'A new offer has been made to the players and at the request of the PFAI the deadine has been extended to allow consultation wih all the players to consider the new offer. The Club was represented at the meeting by Vincent Hoey and Dermot Mc Kenna while the PFAI delegation was headed up by Stephen Mc Guinness.
'In further news Vincent Hoey stated "I have just received communication from the high court that the hearing has now been listed for the 22nd January which gives us more time to sort all issues out". He added "We are indebted to FAI CEO John Delaney for his efforts over the last few days and for facilitating this meeting".
