The first port of call for any club who hits financial difficulty while playing in Europe is to tap up the FAI for an advance on the UEFA Cash. A good few clubs have gone down this road successfully before, Cork City certainly have. It's completely different to the FAI handing over €100k of their own money, people should be questioning why something simple that happened months ago is only coming out now.
This goes on every year, the mock outrage is laughable.
