Bohs: 'not subject of winding-up order'
Credit:
Bohemian FC have announced through their website that they are not subject to a winding-up order from the High Court despite a hearing yesterday.
They do, however , confirm that the two parties involved in ‘possible action’ are Brian Shelley and Stephen Gray.
The good news for fans at Dalymount Park is that the club said they are in a position to ‘vehemently defend any potential action.’
The statement in full read:
Bohemian FC wishes to clarify that it is not the subject of an order of the High Court winding up the club.
Media reports have today (14th January) disclosed the identity of the parties in a possible action against Bohemian FC. The club can similarly confirm that the parties concerned are Mr Steven Gray and Mr Brian Shelley.
We can also confirm that we are in a position to vehemently defend any potential action to place the club into liquidation. Both the PFAI and the parties' legal representative have been informed of this.
Bohemian FC has taken legal advice from Warren Parkes Solicitors on this matter. For obvious reasons, it would be imprudent for the club to make any further comment at this juncture. We would also appeal to our supporters to exercise similar restraint in their comments.
Bohemian FC expresses its sincere thanks to all members and supporters who have 'dug deep' to help the club at this difficult time. The recently marketed loan scheme was formed to assist the club and we are very optimistic that your continued support will address those difficulties and help us to build a solid foundation for the future of the club.
As you may be aware, in the interests of both the lenders and the club, loans given by members and supporters are being paid directly into a solicitor's client account. These funds will become available to the club if and when the preconditions, as set out in the terms and conditions of the loan scheme agreement, are met.
