Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

[luka]

Bejaysus. The rumour mill is in overdrive with the City at St.Colman's Park thing. It's nothing more than just a rumour lads. The purpose of the meet on Sunday is an 'Information Meeting' on the future of Cobh Ramblers. Nothing more to it and as I type, the future of Cobh Ramblers does NOT include Cork City playing at St.Colman's Park for the 2010 season.

For your sakes I hope it's the chink of light at the end of this long, horrible, dark tunnel for you all. You deserve better.

It's not a tunnel so much as a shaft.

Mr Coughlan also refused to conduct the hearing over the telephone.

Love it!

Such a tool. The FAI should win that case no bother. Hope they stiff TNB with costs as well.

Very strong rumours up here that Cork are relegated.

Also that fixture list is completed, with us at home to Cork in the first game of the season.

Where do you people get this s***?

Think this counts as the official Cork rumour thread though?

I know. I find it hard to believe that the FAI have the fixtures sorted already too.

Or......

Coughlan asks for an extension to the Winding Up order based on his reviewing an offer that has been placed for the club which would cover the revenue bill.
He gets his extension and tries to drive through to the licensing process, putting the pressure on the FAI to award the licence in the hope that he'll sell up allowing them to fudge the Quintas takeover in the Premier.
He then has a licence, doesn't sell and goes back to the high court with his new 'cloth cutting' budget and offers it as proof that he can generate enough income over the coming months to repay his debts.
He gets the ruling in his favour.

According to someone on the City Forum, deal agreed in principle with due diligence to perform.

Step 1 of Operation Brinkmanship is Go, I repeat Brinkmanship is Go!

I'd be surprised if the FAI even realised there was a new season coming up....

Sure don't they have the Brazil match and European qualifiers to worry about!

[Sam_Heggy]

Fixtures have been made out afaik but, can't be released until Licencing has been completed.

[D.24saint]

I know their PR machine must be in overdrive promoting the new season, seriously they should have got all the licenses sorted early in January then release the fixtures at the end of the month to allow clubs to have a full month of build up for the new campaign.

They must have had to make half a dozen sets of them so if they already have them done...............
