I heard he on 250 euro's a week, all the fulltimers are on that who signed new contracts this summer. I say offer him a new four year deal and double it.
Jeez, i'd hope he's on more than that. He'd get more in McDonalds likeQuote:

To keep players like JO'F and GO'C here, they would want to be getting somewhere in the region of €500 to €750 a week, at the very least.
Then we have the chicken and egg syndrome.
To get the crowds to come in, you must have good players. To have good players, you must have the money to pay them. To have the money to pay players, you must be getting the crowds.
So, what comes first ?
We need someone to payout a lot of money for a while, until there is some return on it. Can Brian Lennox do this?
He's not a Berlusconi or a Moratti (AC and Inter Milan) who can shell out millions when ever he wants to.
Maybe we could try something like a group of fans "adopting" a player. For example, 100 fans sign up to pay €20 a month to pay a player €2000 a month each during the season.
Would there be any takers for that I wonder?.......;)
Theres no way O'flynn be on 250 yoyos a week but on the otherhand he probably not on a huge amount either as didn't really have an track record when joing city. Could be aon goal bonus too though?
The fulltimers should be paid decent wages & then shipped off to the schools around the city when the they start back. Fulltiemrs should be used for club PR in their spare time.
Bohs have setup an account for fans to donate to the club, all monies from this account goes directly to paying the players wages.Quote:

Did i hear right that Bohs fans are paying Kevin Hunts wages?
I think some of them offered to do so to get the club to extend his contract.Quote:

IMO theres a big difference between financially supporting a professional fulltime squad with a professional manager (e.g. Bohs) & the mickey mouse fulltimer status that city or most teams would have. Until city can provide a professional fulltime setup & career for the likes of O'Flynn players like him will always want to leave for the bright lights of england as soon as possible...
If city planned to provide something along the Bohs line i think most city supporters would pay anthing up to 15 euro a game if saw the money been used productively...
i read somewhere on the eircom league message board that uefa have given the natioanl league special dispensation from this transfer window until january 31 due to it being a transition season.Quote:

...don't know if it's been mentioned but no transfers can take place after next weekend until January.
It's a UEFA rule and it applies to our little old league too.
If O'Flynn is with us next week he'll be with us for the rest of the season at least.
The fear factors returns! he could go at any time! ;)Quote:

I don't ant to be accused of ending this discussion but probably just means inter-eL transfers allowed during september? If the rest of europe can't make an transfers likely they can't make any from the eL?Quote:

The debate rages on :)
I think it unlikely a transfer will take place after he's played just half a dozen or so senior matches. So were stuck with the useless git!
That, if true, does not give the right to clubs from other countries to buy players from National League of Ireland clubs!Quote:

John O'Flynn is NOT leaving Cork City FC!
Your people tell you that eh Peadar??
Question: Has he signed a 2 season contract or a 2 YEAR contract???
AFAIK, inter-el tranfers allowed until this Saturday at midnight.Quote:

The eL have some sort of dispensation. But non- eL clubs cannot buy players as their transfer season is over for the time being. An Irish club can at present buy a player from an Irish club.
I have no idea whether this is for the remainder of the season or just another few weeks. No one seems to know for def.
But considering where City are in the league why would he leave for another Irish club.
i read yesterday that the transfer season here remains open until october 31Quote:
