wonder if the dog will eat TNB homework in order for him to cancel the meeting ;)

In fairness the FAI can't liquidate anything. They can only take footballing sanctions.
The dual contract issue wasn't particularly relevant to Wellvan liquidating, given the size of the debt that came to light we wouldn't have survived the year anyway.
Unless TNB walks away, the FAI can only apply footballing sanctions, which boil down to a refusal for a license application next year unless they can pin a rule breach on him for the season past.
You'd be amazed at the amount of Hibs & Celtic fans of old that won't ever support City.
I think yiddos point is in relation to the fanbase the current club has and the damage a new name would do to that.
Why take the risk in losing fans if theres no need at this point in time?
Any truth in the rumour about Roddy and the Cork job?

Apparently he's using the "I'll bring in millions" refrain :-)
Once Roddy takes over.. This will be the new Cork City headquarters....

Meeting seems to now be taking place on Wednesday or Thursday.
It also seems there have been more rubber pay cheques in the meantime.
It said in a paper there is payments due to some players and staff today,they must be those rubber pay cheques you mentioned.
you could'nt write this stuff.
Lol, this is just turning into garbage at this stage, be rid of them! Lets get Foras!
Silly Season has never been sillier. We have a very very interesting week ahead of us!
I'm currently in the Anger stage and believe me, Thierry Henry has nothing on Coughlan.
Tom Coughlan and Roddy Collins are meeting in Cork as I write.
I am in urgent need of a Hand Grenade, anyone?
Said it before, we've the greatest league in the world
This stuff should have its own TV show, forget the football...
He is in the room disguised as a clock.
Roddy's the man for Cork City......he won't take Tom Coughlan's crap.

Remember, you must count to five, that thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.
According to todays Independant Coughlan has postponed another meeting until Thursday evening/Friday morning and the FAI are going to fine him now for bringing the game into disrepute.
It's just been on the RTE sports news that the future of the club looks uncertain as the players may not get the wages which they are now due.
Will the FAI do all Cork fans a big favour and push this club over the edge.
You just gotta love the headline

Cork's future still uncertain
Tuesday, 15 December 2009 07:31
Cork City's future in the League of Ireland Premier Division will be decided in the coming week.
The final instalment of unpaid wages is due to the players on Tuesday, but there are reports that they have been told they once again may not receive the money, as the club try to make new agreements with their creditors by Monday.
If the debts aren't paid by Monday, the club are in breach of the licensing agreement and could be thrown out of the league.
NOT for the first time in his controversial career Roddy Collins has upset his employers, although his latest stunt could prove to be his undoing.
The outspoken Dubliner, who made headlines for all the wrong reasons last month when he made a crass joke about wife-beating on RTÉ's Monday Night Soccer, has angered the board of Floriana after flirting with the vacancy at Cork City.
It is believed that Collins met with Cork officials last week to discuss the possibility of taking over at Turner's Cross, although he chose not to tell Floriana and the Maltese club might be ready to end his tenure because of the breach of contract.
If that happens it will be horrible timing for the former Bohemians manager as RTÉ are unlikely to offer him a new deal for MNS in 2010 due to his outburst in the season finale, and not many clubs will be eager to take a gamble on him due to his unpopular status in the League of Ireland.
To rub it in, the Leesiders have already moved on with other managers replacing 48-year-old Collins at the top of their wish list.
That was in the Daily Mail
Was mentioned on 96Fm on the sports news on the drive home from work there that Roddy met Coughlan today and that Coughlan has had his meeting with the FAI deferred as he expects to have a manager in place by the deferred date of Thursday/Friday!
Somehow he is managing to make a bad (understatement I know, but I have run out of other words for the term) PR situation even worse.
Its the best league in the world because you just could not make this stuff up but i seriously dont know whether to laugh or cry. I cannot believe this is actually happening. People are asking me in work in disbelief 'is this actually going ahead?' .... Definitely panto season alright :(:mad:
Rumour on Cork forum is that the players have been asked to wait until January for their outstanding money. All things considered, a license for TNB appears to be completely out of the question.
Although I wouldn't be in the least surprised if he got one.
They have to be paid, or have agreements in place on Monday next week. If not a license should not be issued.
