Bohs secure deal to save club as wage row resolved

THE threat of a winding up order against Bohemians has been lifted.

The solicitor for Brian Shelley and Steven Gray – the two players who had initiated High Court proceedings over unpaid wages – announced yesterday that the High Court action would not now proceed as planned next month.

In a statement, Stuart Gilhooly said: “I am happy to confirm that all issues between Brian Shelley, Steven Gray and Bohemians Football Club have been resolved. The players have reached agreement for termination of their contracts and these details will remain confidential. The winding up petition will now be struck out. The players would like to record their disappointment at how the matter was handled by the board and the length of time that they were left without any payment. They are, however, pleased to put the matter behind them and would like to wish the fans of the club well for the future. They are both now seeking employment elsewhere.”
