a little birdy told me

that things are not just frosty between the staff and employer at CCFC. Lennox would walk past the coaching staff on the street without a salute, and his condemnation of the coaching staff having to go back to basics, in the club programme, came without warning or consultation with anyone else.

I dont know what to think of the situation. Lennox has thusfar been good for the club; the healthy situation we are in is pretty much down to him. Dolan and Noel O'C oversaw the changeover to professionalism extremely well, and as Dolan once told me, being disappointed with a victory (in context, the narrow win against longford, out of context, finishing 2nd when we looked like coming mid table), is a good sign of ambition.

However something has annoyed Lennox, clearly, and the reprocussions are that there was an unhealthy atmosphere in the club. As much as the coaches probably made a good move career wise in taking charge of other clubs themselves, obviously the situation at cork city hardly persuaded them to stay.

Such are the implications of scrutinising a professional club (an oxymoron in itself), the open heart of the club is hidden for the sake of the money making business. However as supporters and therefore one of the driving forces behind the club, arent we entitled to know whats going on?

-What did Dolan do to annoy Lennox so much?
-How else has Lennox contributed to the bad atmosphere?
-Have things changed for the better?
-Are the rifts between chairman and manager, and manager and players connected?

As a fan, I'd like to know

- that with some many "little birdies", "moles" and "flys on the wall" in the club, should CCFC be turned into a zoo rather than a football club?
- Must every unsubstansiated rumour, unproveable hearsay and bit of tittle-tattle about Cork City be dis-sected endlessly?

:rolleyes:

Not trying to wws this, honestly, but surely someone is leaking/spinning all these tales?

I suppose there must be, but its getting extremely tiresome at this stage. I've never heard such bitching, moaning, whinging and downright bullsh*t about ANY club EVER.
You'd swear we had been relegated or something......:rolleyes:

i was about to jump in but thought better of it..... :D

[if there is a row or a disagreement over direction than im guessing its something along the lines of dolan wanting cash to add to the squad and lennox refusing to break the bank and preferring to steer a prudent sensible financial path - fair balls to him if thats the case!]

Then the question is who and why. Not trying to comment on the validity of any of the arguments, but something ain't right with someone that this is going on....

ok, i'll give you a hint. he recently left the club, is glad to get away from it, and feels the chairman let everyone down in his programme notes.

I like most others are sick of the rumours.

Either reveal your source, or this thread will be closed.

BS

Lennox was dead right to say what he said. It was the kick up the arse they needed. Seemed to work too

If its fact, then there should be no problem. There is just so many people who seem to know things as "facts", yet wont divulge their sources, its unreal. It certainly doesnt give any of these rumours any merit, and they will remain rumours until a source is given.

Its very easy to start rumours (and some would say fun too), but these rumours are doing nothing but creating problems.

exactly. Lennox is the boss, and sometimes the boss needs to give people a boot up the hole.

there is definitely a vendetta against Lennox going on. people are not just criticising him on specific issues (which is fair game) but making wild accusations and personal attacks.I'd love to know who's behind this.

because sometimes things are told in confidence Gary, and a journalist like myself ( ;) ) has to then take morality into account. theres more i could say but i wont because i have an obligation to someone.

and does a journalist like yourself have an obligation to do a thorough investigation of a 'story' and report the full facts from both sides?
