Big money in the V- League. It's full of African and Brazilian players. Seriously corrupt though, half the country's referees have been jailed. A fair few players have been done for match fixing too. An ex Pat's player should fit right in!Quote:

Wouldn't be the first player to go from Pat's to Vietnam.
Or the first to go from UCD to Vietnam!
Be very wary of youtube footage - when we signed goalkeeper Dimitri Brinias, someone found clips of him on Youtube which made him look like a genius. He wasn't.Quote:

At the moment Cork players have received about two thirds of what it owed.Quote:

All our backroom staff got the same afaik, same as other creditors. A lot of them are happy to write off the money(or were a while back when I spoke to them) as most are city fans(in the office anyway).
Its unfortunate but the same happened to the other creditors. They got screwed.
Players will get their money cos they have to for us to get a license.
Bialek with Pats :DQuote:

A Longford fan was telling me Freimanis is class. Mathews sent him up there when we went into examinership, knowing he could bring him back down once we were out.
Apparently he's down here now anyway. And I know its a dangerous game to judge him on a YouTube video but looks promising. Certainly better than playing Darren Murphy right wing, he's a centre mid through and through.

Was actually OK for a couple of seasons with us too (in farness) but never lived up to his pre-season displays
I always knew he sucked.Quote:

And your fine with the fact the people who sell you tickets are not getting paid so the club can sign the guy who set up a goal vs bohs.Quote:

The people who sell us our tickets(Ticketscan) agreed to the 7.5% along with other creditors.
NO city fan, is happy we went into examinership, or that our creditors, most of them City fans got screwed. but it happened, theres nothing we could do about it(as fans) and forgive me for being happy that the club came out of it.
We are starting afresh, with a new owner, and he is putting in place structures to guarantee we dont spend more than we bring in, from now on.
The whole point of examinership is to sort out the debt owed, generally paying a percentage of it, and move on with a clean slate. Its unfortunate for those who lost money(my sister was one of the staff who did) but we must move on.
Most City staff are happy with the arrangement at present, anyone who leaves(or has left) because of the money they didnt get, I wish them nothing but the best in the future.
We are signing Fremanis because within our new sustainable budget, with our new owner, we will have 16full time players and he will be one of them, not because Arkaga managed to screw money out of my sister and others.
