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

I'd let him lay but just insist on prepayment in full. That would sort any issue.

We would have an away game every week :D

and Rushbrooke wouldn't be far enough away. :mad:
Run Tommy Run !

Invasion of the journeymen has started
Shoddy spotted in the Imperial Hotel in town with Bobby Ryan and Dave Rogers

probably a crazy idea but if TNB or whoever will be running CCFC moves to cobh, could FORAS get a licence and rent turners cross off the MFA, starting a new club in div1. Sure, the name as it stands may be lost, but it might be worth it to break out of the rotten ownership spiral there at present.

For the Cork fans - is the takeover rumours reported a good thing?
For your sakes I hope it's the chink of light at the end of this long, horrible, dark tunnel for you all. You deserve better.

I posted a while ago that your day would come if you hold fast. Maybe just maybe that day is getting nearer?

Lets hope it is.

Looks like he's yours to keep.

He appears on the home page of Bandon AFC as their new coach - so he must be moving south.

Bejaysus. The rumour mill is in overdrive with the City at St.Colman's Park thing. It's nothing more than just a rumour lads. The purpose of the meet on Sunday is an 'Information Meeting' on the future of Cobh Ramblers. Nothing more to it and as I type, the future of Cobh Ramblers does NOT include Cork City playing at St.Colman's Park for the 2010 season.

It's not a tunnel so much as a shaft.

Mr Coughlan also refused to conduct the hearing over the telephone.

Love it!

Such a tool. The FAI should win that case no bother. Hope they stiff TNB with costs as well.

Very strong rumours up here that Cork are relegated.

Also that fixture list is completed, with us at home to Cork in the first game of the season.

Think this counts as the official Cork rumour thread though?

I know. I find it hard to believe that the FAI have the fixtures sorted already too.

He gets his extension and tries to drive through to the licensing process, putting the pressure on the FAI to award the licence in the hope that he'll sell up allowing them to fudge the Quintas takeover in the Premier.
He then has a licence, doesn't sell and goes back to the high court with his new 'cloth cutting' budget and offers it as proof that he can generate enough income over the coming months to repay his debts.
He gets the ruling in his favour.

According to someone on the City Forum, deal agreed in principle with due diligence to perform.
