FAI claim Bohemians contract wrangle is ‘very close’ to being resolved

The FAI last night insisted the ongoing pay and contract wrangle at Bohemians was close to being resolved and denied categorically the club had received any financial help from Abbotstown.

Despite suggestions earlier in the week that the situation in which contracted players, who have not been paid in eight weeks, at Bohemians were close to reaching severance agreement with the club, the dispute remains unresolved. “(It’s) very close to agreement,” said Fran Gavin, Director of the Airtricity League.

“We just came from a meeting with the two parties and it’s very close to an agreement and I think it will be sorted in the next few days.’’
