Coughlan told to pay up or face Cork player strike

[SMorgan]

I believe Derry City are in Court at the end of the month over the transfer of McGinn to Celtic. They are to have to pay up.

[Mr A]

I see that FORAS have gone on the offensive again TNB. Fair play, overdue if anything.

Thank God that's over.

Like the way he managed to get a dig in at some badly-run clubs too.

It's the TNB way.

Lie, sling mud, deflect, sling mud etc.

[Longfordian]

It's all sorted until he can't pay what he's agreed to pay.

In a nutshell ..... next time it will be an immediate strike, no hanging about.


5 home games left, one of those in Sept ..... so any day now, expect a headline.

Does he have an account on here as well then?

I know that the players seriously considered strike action this week so if there were to be any further "problems".......
What would be the outcime if a team refused to play a match due to industrial action ? Deferral ? awarded to opposition? Would there be pickets ? would fans seek autographs as they passed the players on picket duty ? Anyone know if there was any precedents for strike action ?

I think he has hood winked the players and staff once again. TC knows the players haven't much choice now since the transfer window is closed. He is living in fantasy land if he thinks they will get 5000 per game, there allready down about 1500 from last season. There is very little in the way of advertising and if you werent an follower of LOI then where are the extra fans coming from. All this crap has led to even more negative opinions of TC. Like I have said it's the players and staff who should get huge credit for putting up with this.

Can players not move outside the window if they are out of contract ? As the club are unable to make payments then they would be in breach of contract and the players free to move. i think this happened at Shels (did heary take a legal action ?) and something similar happened with a certain striker that bufggered off to Belguim.
This is of course predicated on the belief that there is somewhere to move to.

Only if they are out of contract BEFORE the window closed.

Our players are now stuck

Any indication what TNB's plans are for when the season ends? Will he stay and try and heroically turn things around, or will he walk a hero for having tried in the face of adversity?

I expect he is just concentrating on seeing out this season. Would be surprised if he is thinking about next season at this point (if he is it has to be "how the f%*k do I get out of here").

Long term planning (IE beyond next week) is not a strong point in the LOI

TNB probably doesn't even know, apart from the fact that he wont walk without a payout and no one will give him a cent

[pineapple stu]

A stand-off. Just what Cork need.

Has he a contract? I assume he can just offer himself one anyway?

Does he own the club (as in the shares)?

Yes, he owns the company
