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

[Ezeikial]

Who'd have thought that last year's candidate of Billy Morgan would end up looking a good option.

I hear that Steven Spielberg, who has bought up the movie rights, is insisting on Sean Connor with Dave Rogers as assistant manager. Billy Morgan as kitman.

Ezekial,

I heard Andrew Lloyd Webber is in advanced discussions with TV3 for a new show called "How do you solve a problem like Roddy?"

[dcfc1928]

Anybody else think that Roddy wont get to be in charge for one single game?

[Mr A]

Yep!! Certainly not a premier one anyway.

Here's hoping....

"Suspended skipper Julien Briffa refused to comment on the current head Coach situation, only that the club committee and executive were working hard to solve the problem. Asked if the players feel betrayed by Collins he would only say "He didn't regard too many of us highly as players and at times tried to get us to leave the club. He told Orosco that none of us would be good enough to get our game with Longford Town, I heard this and asked why not. But didn't get an answer. But out club is bigger than one person."

Now I can overlook most things he's done, but this time he's gone just too far!

If I lay my hands on that mobster Collins.. just because we were brave enough to reject him..

[Martinho II]

Yeah he made an approach with some mates of his almost two years ago. They weren't able to come up with proof that they had any money though and he was pretty much left in little doubt by the supporters he wasn't wanted. It obviously hurt him more deeply than he was letting on!.

It was in april 2008 when it happened not long after the season started...

It is in another thread, but Roddy according to today's star wnats to bring Glen Crowe and Liam Kearney to City .

Got this overnight from Malta, seems a bit confusing but probably makes sense to someone in the FAI.

Yesterday morning, Monday 28th December, Floriana began official proceedings to ensure their case for compensation is heard in the highest quarters. The MFA have stated that Collins, Roderick is still coach of Premier League side Floriana F.C. and this has been transmitted to the Football Association of Ireland (FAI)and UEFA. The FAI were unavailable for comment this afternoon as they are currently closed until after the New Year. Cork City F.C. are likewise closed until the New Year, as told by a club supporter by phone from Dublin. Floriana F.C. released a statement to the Maltese media this morning that laid out the claim for compensation and evidentially refuted the "facts" put forward by Collins in the Irish media. A senior club official who for procedural reasons cannot be named offered "Mr. Collins is facing a very serious case of slander. He deliberately and with extreme malice did set out to drag Floriana F.C. down into the dirt with him and this behaviour has been his undoing. He already faces a warrant for failure to pay outstanding bills here in Malta and this will be enforced should he return and will be pursued through the Irish system. He cannot simply run away on debts and obligations in such a manner."

I've asked if this "warrant" is up to much but was told that it's over not paying parking fines and domestic bills. Apparently a couple of plastic bags of Louis Copelands finest is sitting in a garage belonging to Roddy's former landlord in Malta!

[Longfordian]

I don't see a European Arrest Warrant being issued for not paying his parking fines somehow but I'd love if it was.

Can we get a Floriana avatar or forum or something? Definitely my Maltese team now.

That's what I thought as soon as I saw it, I think it's just a case that if he steps back into the country he'll be in the clink What price would anyone give on Cork being drawn with a Maltese side in the summer ???
