Coughlan has cashed in our 10% sell on for Doyler for €200K
Seriously? And does that 200k go to creditorsQuote:

Slightly nauseous at the moment but if the money was needed then it was needed, players need paying up.Quote:

That seems mad. Still a decent chance he'll be sold in January and with him just signing a new contract it'd be a minimum of £8 million. I suppose if the money was needed urgently to ensure players were fully paid up by November 31st in order to secure a premier division license for next season.
I don't know but at the fans forum the other night Coughlan said that the 10% wasn't exactly 10%. that it was only 10% of the first payment.Quote:

Sounds crazy to me, can't believe Lennox would have agreed to this.

Last week, Thursday I think, Coughlan apparently got a call (from you know who) to be told Doyle was signing a new contract with Reading and would not be leaving Reading anytime soon. Coughlan is rumoured to have gone over to Reading and Reading bought out the 10% clause for a fee (200k or 300k depending on the currency I think).
Cork wouldn't be the first club to do this. Southampton let appearance clauses and future monies go to get cash in hand for Bale and Walcott.
I'm guessing Coughlan decided to cash in after Doyle signed his new contract last week.
Seems to most logical reason alright; no money to pay back wages, which means no licence for next year, so get some cash in urgently to ensure you don't get relegated.Quote:

Does this break any agreement you had with the creditors after examinership ?
Deals with players on repayments are all you require.
How could you be that stuck for 100K after only a few weeks of clearing 90% of your debts!

Why? You instigated it, it seems. And it's certainly your own fault.
It was instigated by a phone call to Tom Coughlan from a fast food loving ex manager/advisor after Doyle signed a new contract the other week.Quote:
