Organisational Changes at Shamrock Rovers F.C.
As we continue to position Shamrock Rovers for future growth and development, we are pleased to announce we are appointing CiarĂĄn Medlar as the new independent Chairperson who will assume responsibility from Jonathan Roche from the end of the season. This is an agreed follow up item to the recent investment by Mr. Dermot Desmond in the company.
At this point, we would like to put on record our gratitude to Jonathan who has been at helm of the club from Examinership in 2005 through to the opening of Tallaght Stadium in 2009 and the transformative development of the Academy. Jonathan remains a director of the company and Chair of the Members Club and will continue his active involvement in the continued development of the academy and facilities at Roadstone.
Following a recruitment process managed by Amrop, the board was delighted to select CiarĂĄn from a very strong panel of interested candidates. CiarĂĄn, a season ticket holder with the club, is a Partner and Head of Taxation Services in BDO Ireland. CiarĂĄn leads the dedicated BDO Sports Advisory Unit which he established in 2005, while he also contributes regularly to print & broadcast media on sports business matters. We would like to extend a warm welcome to CiarĂĄn from all at Shamrock Rovers.
In addition, we would like to advise that our CEO, Brendan Murray has decided to step down from his role at the club from 30 October 2020.
The board of Shamrock Rovers would like to place on record its gratitude and appreciation to Brendan for the role he has played at Shamrock Rovers during his almost five years at the club. In this time we have significantly strengthened both the clubâs on and off field operations and invested in our training and academy facilities at Roadstone. Brendan played a key role in arranging Mr. Desmondâs investment in the club in 2019, which has allowed for the continuation of the clubâs strategic priorities into the future. Everybody at Shamrock Rovers would like to wish Brendan all the very best for his future. A process to recruit Brendanâs successor will commence shortly.
Still guaranteed group games whatever happens. Hopefully its at least 1m
we can do the maths lads
you get +/- 800k for playing a first qualifying round of CL, 1.2 million to progress, then 1.6, etc
to qualify for europa league you get 240k to play the first round like rovers did this season , 260k to progress âŚ
for this new third tier, clubs will be luck to get 25k per round id imagine
The importance of seeding in the CL is huge, youâre seeded , you have a great of winning your first qualifier, you loose your second qualifiier you still go into the europa league playoffs on the champions route
you loose your first CL qualifying round - now you go to the conference, if we are going in there unseeded this means clubs will get draws like Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic , etc and all the other seeded sides at that stage.
Our league coefficient also will determine if we can get europa places, we were headed to the preliminaries you know but this dundalk boost is bigâŚ
You loose the qualifier you go into the actual league
Pats lead Cork 2-1 at half time.
Pats dominated first 30 mins and should have 3 or 4 up
Cork made 2 subs after 30 mins and improved and scored with last kick of the half
Pats will be seething they only lead by a goal
Oh dear.
Foad
Whatâs the debt I wonder? Theyâll be buying a first division club by the time it goes through so itâs hardly got much value

Another defeat for Cark. Four games to save their premier division status
Thereâs a vote in a few weeks to sell the club to Trevor Hemmings for 1 euro but he will take on all debts the club have.
Hemmings Way.
