Money, Dublin and the GAA

[CJ2017]

I see Kerry are set follow Dublin, Wexford and Limerick in appointing a full time Commercial Manager

I believe Donegal advertised for a position a while back, Tipperary report recently recommends one. Its seems to be the way things are going. Would be interesting to see how teams with differ with from those without in terms of results.

Mayo were going to have a commercial manager. Nothing happened about it though.

Sure the Dubs have loads of money, but are they happy?

Very.

It's not even amateur at club level.

the county board says they could not afford to hire one.

That's unfortunate with Mayo's all of Ireland fan base.

Money arrives in different ways for different purposes, Mayo received an additional €5 million grant from Croke Park for the redevelopment of McHale Park. Nice money if you can get it.

And yet Tony McEntee and Buckley are there for the love of the game..

That's unfortunate ( Stupid, narrow-minded, paranoid, fear of delegating power)would describe it better with Mayo's all of Ireland fan base.

It's all about submitting plans that are good enough.

Mayo should have had one for the last 5 years, baffling decision not to take advantage of this team and that you've a huge diaspora around the world. It's a far more difficult job when the team isn't reaching All Ireland Finals.

Galway did have one but he left to join Connacht Rugby and hasn't been directly replaced from what I can gather.

[CJ2017]

Mayo seem to be going alright.

Total Income 2017 : €3,333,824

Total Expenditure 2017 : €3,130,549

Surplus for the year : €203,275

Great detail and breakdown of costs etc, if only every county board published accounts available to the public.

There was no grant. We're just making the repayments to croke park instead of the bank. It's still costing us over 30k per month.

[CJ2017]

there is some mention/figure of McHale park and interest to Croke Park in their report.

According to the Independent - 19/12/2017 article by Colm Keys

Dublin's overall income was €4,481,063 with expenditure of €4,364,154.

Looks as if Mayo are only a million behind in terms of income! wow!
