Taken from another site but the League Managers Association has apparently lodged a complaint with the licensing committee on behalf of Alan Matthews. City may have to deal with it before or risk not being granted a licence.

Interesting. Would also have implications for any manager if he was to take the job
Didn't the PFAI also advise the British LMA that Cork had issues with payments to players and the former manager? Or did I just imagine that? It looks like Coughlan is digging a bit of a hole for himself.
I think it was the league managers association here that informed their UK counterparts
Mathews is getting his revenge in much earlier than Dolan did :D
That's OK then I knew I heard something along those lines. With Healy and Gamble signing new contracts it'd be some disaster fro Cork if they don't get a license now. It's hard to see how they'll get one if Mathews hasn't been appeased, unless they have some very good legal advise that their position is sound (and not very good legal advise in the Bohs sense of the word ;)).
Strangely enough, I have no recollection of this LMA outfit lodging any complaints about CCFC's treatment of Rico this time last year.
Even his greatest detractors will admit that the man was shabbily treated, having been allowed to twist in the wind for several weeks.
maybe he wasn't a member of the LMA>
I didn't even know there was an LMA in Ireland until that report
I had a vague notion that Irish managers were all in the English LMA because there wasn't one here?
If it's in the papers though...
If I remember correctly the Association was set up by Dermot Keely and Alan Mathews (I think it's actually called the football managers association of Ireland). Mathews was also the contact the people drafting the gensis report used for the LMA as stated in their consultation list at the rear of the document.
I always got the impression he was the person driving it to be honest. Maybe that's why their taking more of an interest now than they have when other managers have parted compnay with their clubs.
No doubt, like Stephen mcGuinness' role at the PFAI, they're all out to get Cork
That's not what I was saying. I was just trying to get across that since Mathews was one of the people who set up the association and who has been most active in it since it's inception he is probably more willing to use it (and more aware of it's powers) than rico might have been last season.
...that and he wants his revenge.
I wasn't having a pop at you tiktok, just having a general pop at Cork fans ;)
I remeber a former Drogs manager Harry ?? going on about it a few years ago. Very hard to know what to make of it. If you are a manager are you in it and what if your no longer a manager are you in it, ie Dolan, Rico, Mathews, etc. If Mathews is owed money, he would be entitled to object in his own right to the license as an employee, wouldn't need a Managers group to do it for him.
