Not fully paid by Cork, being discussed here.
FAI response
Main points. Cork owe Farrelly money. As he went down the legal route, it couldn't count as money owed under liecensing. Cork's lawyers are worse than the FAI's
Is how you read it and for the Courts to decide.Quote:

The Examiner let him go, I don't think CCFC have any case to answer here.
They don't to me anyway. It was definitely my reading of the FAI piece (I didn't read farrley's piece)
There's nothing Farrelly said that can be argued!!....hats off to him for being so honest and blunt!
I dont understand, he had a contract with cork, cork reneged on it and the examiner tried to force him to sign a different deal, and he refused (as he is entitled to).Quote:

In order to guarantee the short term future of the business through examinership, the High Court appointed Examiner has to take certain action, among these are cost cutting measures and unfortunately, the sacking of some staff. What staff are chosen to have contracts terminated is purely the decision of the examiner.
Those staff are no longer employees of the business, in order to recoup the money owed, they have to apply to the examiner as a creditor [as former employees they are named as preferential creditors]. If they don't apply to the examiner as a creditor they will see no money, because the money to bring the business out of examinership is entirely divided up between creditors who have applied to the examiner.
On coming out of examinership, the new owner has no responsibility to cover any debts not claimed for and agreed during examinership.
It doesn't matter whether the business is Cork City, Sasha, Thomas Read's or any of the 71 other businesses that went into examinership last year, despite the smartarse comments.
Cork City really are a horrible football club. Whatever Shels have been through in the past, they've never treated their players in such a horrible manner. Why anyone is going to play for them is a mystery to me.
:D Fantastic. And Ollie Byrne was such a nice chap.Quote:

The examiner was saying: ‘you’re not being paid so you can’t come back’. When they went back to the High Court to come out of examinership, the examiner appeared to state that my case should be held and heard under the terms of the FAI, which resorted back to the licensing issue.
“Within the High Court, I was classified as a contingent creditor and that, I believe, should be looked upon and covered under the rules of the FAI. But the FAI have not acted on that. As far as I am aware, Cork have ignored all correspondence — they haven’t acknowledged it at all.”
I'm no barrister, but I can see why both sides feel they have a case here
That is the only logical legal situation otherwise historical debt would haunt companies for years.Quote:
