    Angry O'Flynn for Notts County?

    eleven-a-side

    I remember he said a while back that it'd take at least a decent first division team to get him to move.

    Was that bullsh!t or does he think that he's got a better chance of being involved in the Irish set-up at a third rate english outfit than he does playing LOI.

    Won't be happy if he ends up leaving on a bosman to a nothing club

    Couldn't agree more. It would show a distinct lack of ambition on JO'F's part were he to join County or any team at a similar level. That said, if he does move back to England and that's the level to which he moves, it would knock quite a hole in the arguments of those pushing for him to win a senior cap, no?

    Absolutely shocked with the news. The EL is better then the third division! And JOF is much better than thethird division!

    Don't know Kev, I'd say there'd be plenty of takers for a talent like that regardless of what kinda season he has this year.

    he is way to good for the 3rd div in england.with the irish U21s last year he shone with the likes of andy reid who is now being tipped for a big money move to the premiership.in my opinion it is a big step bag for him if he leaves

    I'd say there's about as much truth in this story as there was in the 'Liam Kerney to Fulham' story a few months ago.
    Flynny aint going nowhere, least of all to a second or third division club where he'd earn less money and play at a far inferior level.

    I'd say the same .... all up in the air ... if it sells papers then fair enough !!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    City should extend his contract before a free transfer becomes an issue.......

    And if he doesn't extend it ... put him on the bench and play a player who will stay with City. Simple as !!

    Fairly harsh A Face, but tbh, probably the best thing to do.

    We've all heard these rumours before, and they've never been for real. What's the difference with this one? Why would JOF join a small club, who are going nowhere, whn he's at the biggest club in his country, being watched by Brian Kerr, and getting a good wage?

    I'd be suprised if it happens.

    hope that this is all a load of ball ox, but does anyone know the rules for compensation when a player leaves on a bosman? is jof too old for city to get anything for him that way?

    Thumbs down

    AFAIK, correct me if i'm wrong, the age for compo is 21. With any Bosmans over that age, no money will change hands at all. If anyone sees him over the next few days (the $h€l$ game?) ask him about it. He must have an answer...

    Twould be a ****** if he left...

    To be honest - and I know I'm setting myself up here - Notts County are a bigger club than Cork City. They play in a 20,000 all-seater stadium and attract an average following of around 8,000. If what you all, as regular eL followers, claim is true (I have no reason to disbelieve you), the standard of football Cork play is higher. That, apart from the possibility of preliminary-round European competition, is all.

    I'm playing devil's advocate here, but they are pretty compelling statistics for him to consider if he is bent on a move back to England.

    to be honest if jof hadn't done his knee last year i don't think he'd be here now. provided he gets back to the levels he was at before that injury, he's capable of playing at the very top.
    city signed him on a free and he's always given everything for us so if he does go, even for nothing, best of luck to him. hope he hangs around another while tho!

    I too have heard that he is very interested in a move back to England, though QPR were the team I had heard. I know a guy who is in regular contact with him.

    There is never smoke without fire. Hope its not true. Time will tell.
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    Sad but true, I don't think there is any EL player who would turn down a move to England, at whatever level. You can make all the arguments you want about the standard of EL vs lower English leagues, but the bottom line is that that is where players want to be. Remember Colin Hawkins going to Doncaster, a non league club, from Pats. (And before anyone is tempted to make any smart remarks, remember Pats had just won the league twice on the trot)
