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

Coughlan claiming...

I stopped reading at that stage.

Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.

Your signature has never seemed so apt, tiktok...

And Coughlan might be tolerated/believed if he hadn't skipped two hearings previous to this...

Marty Morrissey was on the radio exclaiming over how "harsh" his punishment is. (Incidentally, who authorised Marty Morrissey to talk about LOI? He knows nothing.) He was asked by one of the news anchors if Cork could afford to hire a new manager (i.e. Roddy), and hemmed and hawed about how "yeah, they're in a lot of trouble. So are Derry." In other words, he doesn't know...

Coughlan couldn't be that desparate to go and get some red lemonade and a hang sangwedge from the local Centra?

Statement on Cork site

Well, at training and a supporters rally tonight in Malta one of the players confirmed the statement was valid and read out. Roddy's been calling non-stop trying to backtrack and bully (even calling players). He's in big trouble! Him and TNB are well suited!

Confirmed which statement? the city one or the Fliorina one?

Floriana. I love the "personal and hurtful remarks" and doubting "the integrity" of the statement, I don't know how they can get that out of it. That TNB went to ground and refused to answer calls or that Floriana backed the FAI calls for him to treat the fans better. My mate at HSBC has become a fan of the club and figured Roddy would go in the New Year, he was telling some people that he was offered Brighton and Tranmere jobs, but wanted to spend a few years in Malta!

Monday will be a vital day for City. After today's events it will be interesting to see weather City get a leicence or not Monday when the leicence's are handed out. It seems after today the communication between Coughlan and the FAI has broken down.

[HammerNThongs]

I still dunno what to make of everything. Obviously the fact that the FAI took action is good, but giving him a hole to wriggle through with the whole "I didnt get a chance to defend myself" ******** has left this open somewhat. Also, his brother and goon of a GM are already in place, so Coughlan doesnt really need to be about to get things done his way.

License next for **** sake...do the right thing and deny him one.

[pineapple stu]

Mr. Coughlan is extremely disappointed that he did not get his personal hearing, despite the fact that he was present at the correct time for the hearing and also waited for over an hour in an attempt to facilitate the meeting going ahead.

What about the second meeting you didn't turn up for, you mong?

[HammerNThongs]

What about the second meeting you didn't turn up for, you mong?

He had other business to attend to dont ya know.

Sure these meetings been brought in front of a disciplinary commission facing 8 charges of disrepute would all be done in half an hour dont ya know

I have so much anger right now I cant even associate LoI football with anything other then this scum right now. It taints the whole league and association in this country.

As in:

Do you have a leicence for your Mionky?

Do you have a leicence for your Mionky?

is that secret code?
Cos i'm quite sure we don't speak like that in Cork

Mr. Riordan gave the Receptionist his mobile number and asked her to have Mr. O’Flaherty contact him as soon as possible to re schedule the hearing. In the absence of anything further, Mr. Coughlan and I then left the building to attend to other business.

Other business? what clap trap.
I'd like that so called solicitor to come out and state what this other business was.

Mr. Coughlan is now questioning this decision and has serious reservations about the FAI's attitude to him, based not alone on today's events, but also recent comments made in the national media by Fran Gavin FAI League Director and FAI Chief Executive John Delaney.

Maybe he's finally getting the message.

He has 4 days to appeal, I really hope this gets sorted and doesnt drag into the new year.

What's this about licences being handed out on Monday?. Is it not February as usual?.
