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

[weecountyman]

Cork supporters should have a read of Today’s Star ( Before you have your breakfast) Oul Shoddy is basically begging for the job in his column.

He says Coughlin is an honest man, supporters should keep quiet and support the club and best of all …the Overpaid Cork players should shout their mouths and be lucky that they are not on the dole (at least they would get paid on the dole).

He is some plank.

Seems both Roddy and TNB have been caught on their lies. Roddy won't be going without a lump from TNB's pocket. Seems like we've seen this all before, and the sad thing is, he actually DID do good things in Malta. The players were devastated that the first they heard was in a Maltese newspaper that he'd left for "personal reasons" and then the Irish media say he's going to Cork for sure, after him swearing he would never take the Cork job on Saturday evening! It's too hard to believe, and I defended the man before. Silly me

Is there any truth in Roddy's contention that Floriana had already broken his contract in October when they (and I'm paraphrasing the Rod) took away the house and car?

[cheech]

Collins is disgusting piece of work. He brings nothing positive whatsoever to the league. It is very apt that once again he leaves a club in a cloud of controversy of his own making.

Bohs: Attacks the Bohs board in the national media after winning the league title in a foolish attempt to get a much larger budget for the following season. Gets sacked.

Carlisle United: Attacks the owner of the club in the media and says he will leave if the owner doesn't sell the club to his mate John Courtney. Gets sacked. John Courtney buys club. Re-instates Roddy. Loses record number of games in a row. Gets sacked again.

Dublin City: With three weeks to go until the end of the season and fighting it out with Shamrock Rovers against relegation, he walks out on Dublin to leave them managerless to become Rovers new manager. Dublin subsequently relegated.

Shamrock Rovers: His contract was terminated by Rovers the following year and the club were relegated after a playoff, ironically with his old employers Dublin City. Had a case of unfair dismissal settled out of court.

Floriana (Malta): He suddenly leaves Floriana FC, to join Cork City. Floriana FC claimed that Cork City FC never requested permission from them to speak to their coach and refused to respond to any phonecalls, faxes or emails requesting information regarding about such meetings.

Cork City: Before it can even be announced that he is the new manager, the owner is banned from football for a year by the FAI. Looks extremely doubtful now if Roddy will get the role.

First piece of luck that Cork have had in a while that TNB and this piece of **** will not be in power next season. No integrity, no honour and little knowledge about the game. He shouldn't be let within spitting distance of any club. Hopefully we'll see the last of now as he won't be getting his contract renewed with MNS either...

Rte.ie

Theres a piece on Rte.ie football pages that Roddy can't go to Cork because TNB is banned from football for a year and therefore he is not allowed appoint anyone.I had thought of this on Friday that how could TNB make the appointment if he is indeed banned??

Don't think it actually says that!

However, the 12-month ban imposed by the FAI on club owner Tom Coughlan has hampered the move.

The question now remains over whether Coughlan has the authority to appoint the controversial manager.
Cork reportedly have not yet handed the final part of wages they promised to their players and if the debts are not paid by Monday, the club are in breach of the FAI licensing agreement and could be thrown out of the league.

It's not clear to me that any restrictions imposed on Coughlan by the FAI would actually prevent Cork City appointing anyone as manager or to any other position for that matter

[placid casual]

Roddy Collins is a self-serving money grabbing shyster who should be chased out of the game with the upmost vigour.
Coughlan strikes me as being a somewhat similar odious individual.

It appears to my eyes that the FAI are beginninng to clean up this league- not before time obviously.
there is many more twists and turns to come but hopefully after all these labour pains , a new vibrant league will be born into the world.
we can but hope.

It says it all when the majority of our online fans, our forum and facebook, are hpoing we DONT fulfil the requirements to get a license tomorrow.Must be a first

Take a bow Tom.

[micls]

Oh and the clown that is Mr. Collins can take a long walk off a short pier. I'm sure he'll change his tune fast enough when he signs his contract and the first paycheque bounces. He deserves Tom.

Maybe he'll take a percentage of the gates?

Of course, that'd make for the most popular boycott of a club since Wimbledon put the "MK" in "life-long fans".

If so then he's even thicker than I thought. Did he think insulting the fans was the best way to improve the gate?

Also, having a contract that says you get a share of the gate and actually getting a share of the gate are 2 very different things in the world of Mr. Coughlan.

And who would calculate these gate figures? Cos theres a big difference between Toms gate figures and the amount of people at the game.
