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

Best of luck to the new Cork City and congrats to FORAS on a job well done.

Cork would also have access to a decent pool of players though.

You would have to imagine that certain players who would have been playing for us in the Premier full time will have little choice but ti play part time/amatuer for us at least until June. They won't have a whole lot of options

Captain Killer I say!

The Premier League will be a Leinster / Connacht affair as there will be no clubs from Ulster or Munster in it. Shocking really.

Like the FAI's version of the Leinster Hurling championship.

Galway and Sligo are special invitees!

The Premier League will be a Leinster / Connacht affair as there will be no clubs from Ulster or Munster in it. Shocking really.

Why? The other clubs are either cheats or not good enough!

Best of luck to Foras. I think they have gotten a lucky escape as if they had of gone in with the consortium it would have ended very badly in a year or two with no plan b.

Where does this all leave Roddy Collins?

I assume that the club that'll be formed by FORAS will be a new entity and Collins won't necessarily be the new Manager. Is this correct?

[El-Pietro]

Roddy can take a running jump right behind his bum chum Tommy

[Longfordian]

Correct. Different company no
existing contracts need to be enforced.

[Mad Moose]

The great news is there is little chance Roddy will still have a job. There isn't a chance of anybody wanted him around in the first instance and secondly given he was reportedly on 500 Euro a week thats a quarter the planned weekly budget. Notwithstanding his contract wasn't binding. No doubt he'll leave a trail of debts and unpaid bills. No doubt he's a mouthpiece in influencing the seeking of a high court injunction. I wouldn't wish him on my worst enemy.

Roddy to go back to Malta?

[Doomofman]

Roddy to go back to Malta?

Isn't he still technically under contract with them?

[Hairy Bowsie]

Isn't he still technically under contract with them?

Until tomorrow when CCFC is wound up, which seems inevitable now.

[Doomofman]

Until tomorrow when CCFC is wound up, which seems inevitable now.

No I meant with Floriana...

[sligoman]

Isn't he still technically under contract with them?

Yep. Just suspended from what I remember.

[avvenalaf]

Laughing their ******es off in Floriana tonight. Roddy for Kilkenny Gaelic Football team. 'It's a big club etc. etc.'

[Scrufil]

Why is everyone so happy with the ILC? So far I cannot see any official statement stating which league Bray are playing in next year. Why was this not sorted tonight? They could decide to give this to any first Division club who has a Premier licence.
