Right, so we know everything is being done to let Cork get away with breaking the rules, they keep being given life lines one after another, BUT, there is still a chance that we will be playing Premier Division football next season if the FAI do what they are supposed to do according to their own rules.
At present we have a squad that IMO will hold their own in the 1st division, it is a very young squad but we will compete. I don’t think we have the experience top win the 1st division but as I said we will compete. Now, IF we do get a place back in the Premier, with the squad we have at present there is no way in hell that we will even compete, we just do not have the experience in the squad. That is not taking anything away from the squad or having ago at any of them but you just need players who have been there and done it all before to be able to compete to a certain level.
The way it stands at present is that we don’t have the funds to spend on bringing in these experienced players for the 1st division, our away gates will probably drop between 50-70% I’d reckon, if not more. If we do get a place in the Premier we will have this extra funding available to bring in a few experienced players, problem is that we will only find out on Monday which division we are playing in. The even bigger problem is that the transfer window shuts on Monday.
Once the transfer window shuts, I presume can we still sign players who are not attached to any club?
