2009 Licensing - Where the clubs stand (from Indo)

[Black and White]

:confused:Is anyone else sceptical or wondering where the indo got its info from...do you really believe the licencing committee went out and released this sort of info before they've decided on licences and before the application deadline!or even do you believe each individual club came out and said they owed this to x and that to y!!

I don't know about the first division, but I'd be very surprised if all 10 premier clubs didn't get licenses to compete in the division.

[Black and White]

But you have to ask...where did the Indo get its info??All Dudnalk supporters are dumbfounded to this outstanding wages melarky owed to a former player!!news to everyone!!

[adamd164]

Don't read too much into it I'd say.

We'll see in a couple of weeks.

All the huffing and puffing about matthews is destracting from the real joke of the report which is Bohs entry

Bohemians
Recently expressed concern that they may not be able to sign any players for the 2009 season after a rejected budget from the Licensing department. However, Bohemians have exploded back onto the market after the contracted staff, led by manager Pat Fenlon, took a wage cut, while new signings will increase the potential of extra revenue through trophy success and gate receipts and further ease budgetary concerns.


Apparently Bohs are trying to convince the league that last year's double winning side wasn't exciting enough, and this years newly bolstered team will be increasing gate receipts. The bizarre thing is that the Licensing committee may well belive them.

That was Roddy Collins' argument anyway.

I take it the rest of the First Divsion are on course to recieve Licenses as they have only mentioned 3 clubs in possible trouble.

Story in today's Irish Sun that Cork City backroom staff who were owed money. last week received cheques from the club shop account which subsequently bounced?

Also, some players who were also due money, received cheques on Friday afternoon - too late to lodge/cash in the banks?


Any truth in this?

Haven't read it myself so don't know what's said in it.

That was my thought as well Dodge.

However I now believe that Ahern has a tenuous grasp of the licensind and therefore tried to expalin it with the ****** above.It is obvious from the rest of the summaries he doesn't have a clue.

[Dodge]

yeah, he's a **** poor journo with a dredful knowledge of our game.

par for the course with that rag unfortunately (the exception being McDonnell)

Surely City's situation with Mathews is the same as Bohs this time last year with Connor, unless the licencing rules have changed.
Don't remember any question about Bohs licence last year.
Am I right?

I think you're right on that.

[Dunny]

Agree on that.

Absolutely, which is the point I was trynna make at the start of this thread: the courts, and not the licensing committee, will decide if that money is owed.

[Mr A]

I don't think it's quite the same. Bohs claimed to have reason to dismiss Connor for gross misconduct, and even if that later proved to be utter BS, Cork don't seem to have any reason for sacking Matthews other than plain not wanting to pay him.

I'm sure Tom Coughlan (and his solicitor) will strongly disagree with you that. The point is the courts will decide that, not the LC

Yeah we do, we didn't win the league ;)

As much as id love to see harps stay up (purely selfishly for the derby matches), there isnt a leg to stand on as regards cork, only hope is Drogheda.
