Depends, but you'll be paying by the hour that's for sure. Not many Europa destinations are 18 -30 spots so unlikley to have back load while waiting for the match to be played!.Quote:

Read Yiddos comment again ...previous takeover/consortiums pulled out because all they got was TNB's version of due diligence,not actual due diligence.This time we are getting the books ,notes on beer mats,empty B&H boxes and scribbles on unused bookie slips too so more stuff is appearing.Quote:

It's probably me not knowing much about European games, but given how many flights to how many places there are these days, can you not just book 30 seats on Aer Lingus?Quote:

For that reason Derry chartered to Sofia - and the plane wasnt big enough to do it in one go - hence a stopover in Amsterdam or germany - which adds to the cost as well. It's a lottery and I'm sure Irish Chairman pray for a Northern club or Scotland / Wales.Quote:

This was on the evening echo's twitter page!

News Flash: There is a new twist to the Cork City FC financial saga. Tom Coughlan will be on Live Line @ 1.45pm to explain.
any ideas sheao?
EDIT: started listening to live line (oh dear god....... - a woman has a major problem she can;t use her "zapper" to open her garage door or get into her car)
She should try using it on the telly.
On europe...
While its complicated by the Europa draw now not being regionalised, there is still very few places Irish teams could get drawn where there'd be a need for a charter. pats flew to malta (via UK) and Samara (via London and Moscow) on commercial flights. Expensive, but still do-able
Add in extra sponsorship opportunities, an extra gate, and of course a decent amount of goodwill and press if you do OK and there's no reason not to get involved in europe IMO
Looks like its not coming on , no mention
A lad on our forum said that he contacted Liveline and that Tom WON'T be on the programme today!Quote:

ok so updates now needed.
Cork were given 48 hours to pay revenue on monday.
Did TNB hand over the cash today or did the gimp miss another deadline?
question on the AIB account...
It had been reported that it was 60k overdrawn so that would mean that the 158k due into there account would immediately be whittled down to 98k and then they would have to pay the revenue 107k which would cause the account to be overdrawn to the sum of 9k.
would AIB allow that or would they have immediately cancelled the overdraft facility once the 158k hit the account.
Has there been any news on the takeover actually progressing? coz the last figures being bandied about was debt of 800k (107k to the revenue).
That would leave 693k divided up with other creditors of which the 2 boys in the consortium makes up about 280k which would leave the balance of debt roughly at 413k which is roughly 213k more than what the consrtium seemed to be prepared to go with.
Just trying to get it all straight in my head atm.
Seeing as the new consortium seem to only want to take over if Cork are in the premier league next season what will happen to them if they get relegated at the end of the season? Will they suddenly decide to jump ship?
