Have to agree with the various comments, the current situation in Cork does nothing for sport in the city, so it probably is best to let CCFC die, either through the courts or by the FAI, and let the FORAS club bring both hope and crowds back to Turner's Cross.

whether FORAS are involved or not a club in Cork thats not called Cork City FC won't work. People won't support it. Why should we start again with a new name just because of Arkaga and Coughlan? Get rid of the clown once and for all!

Am I right that TNB is in with Frank and Irene today?
Meeting postponed at TNB's request.

There is no problem with a newly formed club applying to the FAI except that they would (presumably) have to start in the A championship. The only way Cork can maintain a team in the Premier (or 1st) Division is through the current entity. If Tom Coughlan were to transfer the club to FORAS (or someone else) they could continue as a Premier side presuming, of course, a way could be found to deal with monies currently owed.
Given the current mess the only options appear to be a new Cork City, hopefully facilitated in the 1st Division (SEE Derry City) or another League restructure allowing the FAI "invite" clubs into a new or revamped Premier Division / first Division

I'm curious why Delaney doesn't stride into Cork, liquidate the company and start them afresh with a new board, like in Derry.
What's the difference?
Because the dual contracts gave Delaney a chance to do that in Derry, but the rules of the LOI are so full of holes that CCFC haven't broken anything major.In fairness the FAI can't liquidate anything. They can only take footballing sanctions.
The dual contract issue wasn't particularly relevant to Wellvan liquidating, given the size of the debt that came to light we wouldn't have survived the year anyway.
Unless TNB walks away, the FAI can only apply footballing sanctions, which boil down to a refusal for a license application next year unless they can pin a rule breach on him for the season past.

If Cork City Investments FC Limited were to owe the FAI money for any reason, then Delaney could follow the example of others and apply for a winding up order.
That'll never happen though, nor should it in fairness.

Did you forget the smiley in this post ?
A new name for a Cork football team just won't work, eh ?!? :eek:
LMFAO. Cork football clubs have had more names than The Jackal.....:o
You're currently on name number 12 I believe......
:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:You'd be amazed at the amount of Hibs & Celtic fans of old that won't ever support City.
I think yiddos point is in relation to the fanbase the current club has and the damage a new name would do to that.
Why take the risk in losing fans if theres no need at this point in time?

In fairness Ciro Blazevic is going to Malta to take over as Director or somethign (Maltese press) and I don't know if Roddy would be so keen!
Meeting seems to now be taking place on Wednesday or Thursday.
It also seems there have been more rubber pay cheques in the meantime.

It's just been on the RTE sports news that the future of the club looks uncertain as the players may not get the wages which they are now due.
Will the FAI do all Cork fans a big favour and push this club over the edge.

Cork's future still uncertain
Tuesday, 15 December 2009 07:31
Cork City's future in the League of Ireland Premier Division will be decided in the coming week.
The final instalment of unpaid wages is due to the players on Tuesday, but there are reports that they have been told they once again may not receive the money, as the club try to make new agreements with their creditors by Monday.
If the debts aren't paid by Monday, the club are in breach of the licensing agreement and could be thrown out of the league.

NOT for the first time in his controversial career Roddy Collins has upset his employers, although his latest stunt could prove to be his undoing.
The outspoken Dubliner, who made headlines for all the wrong reasons last month when he made a crass joke about wife-beating on RTÉ's Monday Night Soccer, has angered the board of Floriana after flirting with the vacancy at Cork City.
It is believed that Collins met with Cork officials last week to discuss the possibility of taking over at Turner's Cross, although he chose not to tell Floriana and the Maltese club might be ready to end his tenure because of the breach of contract.
If that happens it will be horrible timing for the former Bohemians manager as RTÉ are unlikely to offer him a new deal for MNS in 2010 due to his outburst in the season finale, and not many clubs will be eager to take a gamble on him due to his unpopular status in the League of Ireland.
To rub it in, the Leesiders have already moved on with other managers replacing 48-year-old Collins at the top of their wish list.
That was in the Daily Mail

well it is the panto season ! just about the only thing that could make the Cork City situation even crazier is the arrival of the Rodmeister on the circus by the Lee

Was mentioned on 96Fm on the sports news on the drive home from work there that Roddy met Coughlan today and that Coughlan has had his meeting with the FAI deferred as he expects to have a manager in place by the deferred date of Thursday/Friday!
Somehow he is managing to make a bad (understatement I know, but I have run out of other words for the term) PR situation even worse.

Its the best league in the world because you just could not make this stuff up but i seriously dont know whether to laugh or cry. I cannot believe this is actually happening. People are asking me in work in disbelief 'is this actually going ahead?' .... Definitely panto season alright :(:mad:
Rumour on Cork forum is that the players have been asked to wait until January for their outstanding money. All things considered, a license for TNB appears to be completely out of the question.
Although I wouldn't be in the least surprised if he got one.

If the players, staff and any other creditors are still owed money in January, then a licence must surely be out of the question. How many lives has Coughlan had this year?!
They have to be paid, or have agreements in place on Monday next week. If not a license should not be issued.
