Bohemians are a financial monster in League of Ireland and will only get stronger
EVEN BEFORE A ball has been kicked in anger in tonight's Dublin derby with St Patrick's Athletic some might say it's been a supersonic week for Bohemians. Yeah, we're really not good at puns. Goodbye I'm going home. Once again the League of Ireland club broke the internet with the unveiling of their FAI Cup jersey for this season. In collaboration with Oasis – whose famous logo will adorn the front – Bohs will hope to wear the blue kit all the way to glory in the Aviva Stadium showpiece. 'All profits from the shirt will be split between Bohemian FC and two charities,' the press release said, detailing how 50% will be split evenly between Music Generation Ireland and Irish Community Care Manchester (ICCM). The promotional video feature Paul Weller, current Bohs player Jordan Flores and former teammate Paddy Kirk was filmed at the CrossGuns Snooker Hall at the top of Whitworth Road. Plenty will be wearing the jersey as they head down from that direction to see Oasis in Croke Park next month. Naturally, some rival supporters took the opportunity to deride the collaboration and wonder about what possible link Oasis have to Bohs to warrant such a jersey. Advertisement That completely misses the point. The question should be how have Bohs managed to get Oasis to even consider such a crossover? It's because the League of Ireland club have successfully promoted their message of compassion, inclusivity, community and respect across the globe. And in the process they have also been able to completely transform their own finances. In an interview with in May, chief operating officer Daniel Lambert detailed the following; a 2,000% increase in merchandise revenue since 2015 €2 million of their €4.5m turnover last year came from merchandise, compared to €100,000 in sales back in 2014. the club previously sold an estimated 100 away jerseys per year, they now sell up to 30,000 shirts per year with ambitions to double that figure Lambert concluded by insisting that once the fan-owned club eventually move into a redeveloped Dalymount Park – they will remain in situ for an undefined period of time in 2026 – the expectation is to sell out the 8,000-capacity ground every home game, doubling current ticket income levels. 'And if we do, we'll have a higher average attendance than anyone else in the division,' Lambert said. Now on Sale: Our 2025 FAI Cup Shirt, a very special partnership with @oasis , designed by BFC and produced by @oneillssportswear All profits from the shirt will be split between Bohemian FC and two charities. Fifty percent (50%) of the profits from the shirt will be used by… — Bohemian Football Club (@bfcdublin) July 1, 2025 'I think we would be in the best financial position in the league by a distance. We should be [able] to put out a top three budget every year, and break even or make a profit.' As the current rise in commercial income suggests, Bohs are already becoming a financial monster in the League of Ireland and they way things are now going on the pitch it looks as though they are only going to get stronger from here. The day before the Oasis news, the signing of striker Douglas James-Taylor was confirmed by the club. The 42 understands Derry City were also pushing hard after they missed out on Moses Dyer from Galway United. On Wednesday, it was then announced that Lys Mousset has departed by mutual consent. The former Sheffield United forward was the highest profile arrival into the league during the winter when it emerged that he had been recommended to Bohs by Ruaidhrí Higgins via his old Blades teammate and Republic of Ireland international John Egan. The Mousset signing was a worthwhile gamble on a player beset by injury and fitness issues. Crucially, it wasn't a move out of desperation in an attempt to try and entice crowds or create the kind of vacuous excitement that dissipates after the first few bad results. It definitely wasn't done to try and shift shirts. What Bohs are doing is built on much stronger foundations and the progress off the pitch has also allowed for the finances required to put structures in place to support greater cohesion on the pitch. Take the last couple of weeks. Maybe if Bohs weren't in such a healthy financial state then players could be picked off by rivals. James Clarke is wanted by English League Two side Grimsby Town but Bohs have been able to reject a bit deemed insufficient.

As it stands, that inquiry was knocked back out of hand by the club as they do not want to sell their skipper. Indeed, no bid is understood to have yet been made and even though there are others monitoring how the midfielder's situation develops it is not believed that any move is imminent. That is because Bohs are in rude financial health and can't be pressured or panicked into accepting an offer that doesn't meet their value. Would that be the case if commercial activities weren't providing such a support? A win away to St Pat's tonight – Bohs will actually be wearing the Oasis kit – would also see them go nine points clear of the Saints with two games in hand, and depending on Derry City's result at home to Waterford Alan Reynolds' side could end the night in second place. European qualification will be vital for the progress of this team, with the prize money that flows adding to a strength that none of their rivals can match off the pitch.

Jordan Flores hits back at criticism of Bohemians' collaborations following Oasis FAI Cup jersey launch
AS someone who fancies his chances at free-kicks, Jordan Flores is always happy to see Walls Come Tumbling Down. And the honour of appearing in 2 The 29-year-old modelled the jersey in the announcement video alongside former teammate Paddy Kirk and musician Paul Weller Credit: 2 The Wigan academy product has started 19 of Bohs 22 games so far this season Although it was launched as the club's FAI Cup jersey, Bohs will wear their 'Oasis' shirt for the first time for tonight's league game against Along with club captain Keith Buckley and former player Paddy Kirk, Flores appeared alongside the former frontman for The Jam and The Style Council. And, despite being only 29, the Wigan man knew all about him. He said: 'I was a fan and my family would have been big Jam fans back in the day. I was brought up on that music so it was good to meet them. 'I'm not sure if my parents were ever at one of their gigs but my uncle José definitely was. They were all buzzing and 100 per cent jealous.' Read more on League of Ireland Not that he could let anyone know about the video in advance of its release as he was sworn to silence by the club's chief operating officer Daniel Lambert. He said: 'A couple of the players knew from doing the shoot but we did well to keep it quiet.' There was some interaction with Weller, with Flores also revealing he had secured a ticket to see Oasis in Manchester. Flores said: 'He was kind of in and out. He was a sound fella, asking how we were doing.' Most read in Football Bohs have been 'And the exposure they're getting, Oasis are massive all over the world. I'm sure the club are happy about that and don't care what anyone else thinks.' RTE pundit offers optimistic view on growth of women's football amid Euros kick-off Boss Alan Reynolds reckons the club has to be innovative to maximise its revenue streams because 'there's no sugar daddy there to keep funding'. He added: 'How much it will help remains to be seen when you go and knock on the door looking for players.' Douglas James-Taylor may have to wait for a start following his He said: 'I remember marking him on set-pieces in Drogheda and couldn't get near him. 'It's just the pure strength of him. We've seen already in the gym that he's a strong boy. He's only had two days of training and he's sharp. Hopefully he scores goals for fun.' THE MOOSE ON THE LOOSE There was no great surprise or upset that Flores commented: 'It didn't really work out but we wish him well.' But Clarke — who scored a stoppage-time equaliser against Sligo Rovers last week — is expected to try his luck cross-channel but the club insist there have been no offers made for him to leave in this window. Rennie said: 'He's a Bohs player and he will be unless things change, and I haven't heard any differently. At the start of the season, he wasn't in the team and he had to work and be patient. 'Now he's in the team, there's interest in him. I'd love to keep him but he's a 24-year-old lad who probably has ambitions of going and playing across the water.' Rennie dismissed a link with Pat Hickey of Galway United but was more coy on whether St Pat's left-back Anto Breslin would return to Dalymount. The gaffer added: 'There's nothing close but I wouldn't mind maybe one more. If one became available, we'd look at it.'
