Derry City's contract with the league is gone. They are not demoted, they are just removed from this year's league. League Table will now adjust to positions 1-9. Results will still stand as the league has finished. The FAI board do not have the power to relegate Derry, only the licencing committee hold that power.
So what happens to the players regarding the League and the tax man ??
Very stupid of them to agree to under the table payments... They should also be banned for a period of time.

Comiserations to all the Derry fans out there by the way
Sad day for the loi - derry will be sorely missed next season. Hopefully the club and their brilliant fans will be back sooner rather than later.
The night rovers played the cup semi final in the brandywell 3 years ago on halloween night was the best atmosphere bar none i have heard in a irish soccer stadium - i thought the roof was going to come off the home stand.
See ye soon
It's not clear to me that they've not paid tax on these second contracts. They're in breach of licensing, of course. Not that it matters really - there's no point really in continuing with that company.Quote:

Think FAI need to check every clubs accounts now because derry arent the only team who have players on 2 different contracts i can tell you that now. Delaney can stick his FAI and LOI up the Liffey for I dont give a monkey, the pansy****
I thought they were bound to a ten team Premier next year anyway?Quote:

Cheats have no place in the league! No matter who their are.But it maybe gloating but the facts are there!
Totally shellshocked !
Thank God they put us out of our misery.
Time to start from scratch.
Wouldn't it have shown up in their accounts before now then if they had?. Their auditor would have to have seen contracts and P30s and reconciled the two unless he was aware of what was happening?. But as you say it doesn't really matter.Quote:

I cannot believe the powers that be in the club had the players on 2 contracts.
I also agree that the players should also be banned for agreeing to a second contract and where would this leave kenny? surely he would have been aware of said contracts.
Cant beleve this news, really, Who knows what the future holds at the moment. Hopefully we'll be back!
Soory but Im looking bigger picture "Mate".Sorry for the fans cos Derry Fans added color to the league but as a club I have no sympathy.They have cheated simple as that to have A STRONG TEAM ON THE PITCH.Quote:

Sickened for all those wonderful Derry fans
But glad that the cheats have been caught & turfed out.
& IF, as is being speculated a few posts above, similar cheating is going on in other clubs, then they all should be turffed out & we can start from scratch,
with clubs we can be proud to support:ball:
full FAI statement now available in that link
I don't really know what to do with myself for the rest of the evening following that news. :(
FAI Statement:
Quote:
The Board of Management of the Football Association of Ireland today (November 7) took the decision to terminate Derry City Football Club’s contract to participate in the League of Ireland.
The decision to terminate is based on the failure of Derry City FC to comply with the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement, in particular their breach of clauses 8.2, 8.3.1, 8.3.4, 8.3.5 and 8.3.6 of that contract.
The Board of Management of the FAI reached its decision following statements from FAI personnel that Derry City FC had admitted to them at a meeting of November 4 (held at the request of Derry City FC), to holding second unofficial contracts with its players. There is contractual evidence to substantiate this.
Subject to the ongoing cooperation of Derry City Football Club being forthcoming, the Board has agreed that an FAI delegation will, in the coming week, meet with Derry City FC and the various other stakeholders to consider how Derry City Football Club may participate in senior football in the League of Ireland next season, at some level other than in the Premier Division. This of course will be subject to the normal licensing process.
The forthcoming Setanta Sports Cup match on November 10 involving Derry City FC has now been postponed, pending discussions with the Irish Football Association, through the Setanta Sports Cup Committee.
On the basis of today’s decision Drogheda United will now play Bray Wanderers in the Premier Division play-off on Tuesday, November 10.
So out of all of this the First Division will be losing one team next season if Derry aren't allowed enter it. If Salthill don't accept the invitation which i presume they now have automatically that means two teams gone. Only 1 team relegated to first division if Shels or Fingal beat either Drogheda or Bray and no one up from A league to replace Kildare. So three teams leaving the first division and possible only 1 coming in. As Jebus says, i think its time to start from scratch, sooner rather than later.
If we can have a team in the first division next season with a totally new club run by fans then I will be ecstatic.
Our board and club seriously took us fans and fuc ked us big time.
Still hasn't sunk in yet.
So that certainly leaves the door open to Derry playing in the first division. I wonder what the likes of Tralee and Castlebar would have to say about that- seeing a club bypass the process they have to go through to get into the league.
Sad, sad day for the league and for Derry fans, but very positive that serious wrongdoing has been identified and punished. One would hope that the FAI now look at all the clubs much more closely.
All that has happened is you've been kicked out of the LOI... You still have a mountain of debt to deal with and no way at present to generate any income ??
What will happen now to the holding company ?
Directors and Players and even the Manager should also have individual bans in place from taking part in the LOI.
If Kildare do go too then two divisions of 10 teams make sense.
If Cork go and maybe another then surely it's time for one division of 18.
Sad for Derry fans but it's a positive step for the LOI, it's about time the FAI dealt with these issues.
Sweepstakes on how long it takes someone to start a new 'How to SAVE IRISH FOOTBALL' thread?
I say one hour
Is the play-off between Kildare and Salthill now cancelled as well then?
Sorry for my Ignorance!Quote:

This must spell the end for Wellvan. It's now a question of whether they can organise quickly enough to get a club together for next year.
Ya im pretty sure everyone here is aware of that but the way you put it across in your first post does come across as gloating when this is definitely not the time for it!!imagine if this was Rovers......Quote:
