What's this about licences being handed out on Monday?. Is it not February as usual?.
Wages need to be paid up to date by Monday to get a license. Obviously there are other considerations after that.Quote:

Surely six weeks would be ample time for Cork investors to prepare a rescue plan and mount a buy-out bid? Granted, Monday has to be hurdled first, but I don't see what would be gained by the FAI not granting a deferral.
He had arranged to go for a few pints with Sean Fitzpatrick, Bishop Donal Murray and Thierry Henry.Quote:

Limerick, Waterford, Derry, Shels and Cork in the first division - who needs premier division football? :D
And with only one club guaranteed to get out of the Division, it's going to make for an interesting Division One next year.Quote:

Following yesterday's finding by the FAI Disciplinary Committee that Tom Coughlan, owner and Chairman of Cork City Football club has brought "the game of football or the FAI into disrepute", FORAS joins the call of Fran Gavin, Director of the League of Ireland, on Mr.Coughlan to consider his position.
In the interests of the fans and the players, as well as the long term future of the club we ask Mr.Coughlan to step aside with immediate effect, so that there remains some opportunity to redeem the former standing of our great club.
Should Tom Coughlan remain in charge of Cork City FC, FORAS BoM will respond to the numerous recent requests from our members to take a vote on a boycott of home games and Club merchandise while the current Chairman remains in control. We will facilitate our members in making a decision on this issue by holding a General Meeting in January.

I suppose we'll have to wait a few weeks for Tom to go to Rome to see whether the Pope thinks he should go...
The Commandos 84 are going to boycott aswell.

Commandos 84 Statement 18/12/2009
As a supporters group of Cork City FC, we offer our full
support to the FAI on yesterdays decision to implement a 12
month ban on all footballing
activity, and also imposing a €5000 fine, on the owner of
Cork City FC, Tom Coughlan.
As supporters we feel that Mr Coughlan has, over
the past 12 months, damaged the name and reputation of this
once great
club and we are not alone in this belief as shown by the
recent action by the FAI. The past season has been one of
embarrassment for the
club's players, staff, and fans with incidents such as
unpaid wages, unpaid bus companies, court cases, unfair
dismissals and other episodes. Cork City FC, as with many
League of Ireland club's has always had it's fair share of
problems but Mr Coughlan's reign as chairman and owner has
seen the club endure more problems than it ever has before
and his reaction to these troubles has been one of utter
disrespect to all parties involved, be they the FAI,
supporters or creditors.
We are therefore wish to announce that if Mr Coughlan is in
charge
of Cork City FC for the 2010 season, we will be boycotting
all home
matches, where Mr Coughlan will benefit financially.
We call on Mr Coughlan to relinquish control and ownership
of the club as he has already had many opportunities to hand
ownership to other interested parties but has chosen not to
step aside despite his own personal statements. We fully
support FORAS and it's role in the guardianship of the club
and encourage all fans to join this organisation in order
for it to become stronger and to, in the future, run a
successful football club using the Shamrock Rovers model
which clearly works.

He is some plank.

The players were devastated that the first they heard was in a Maltese newspaper that he'd left for "personal reasons" and then the Irish media say he's going to Cork for sure, after him swearing he would never take the Cork job on Saturday evening! It's too hard to believe, and I defended the man before. Silly me :):ball:

Carlisle United: Attacks the owner of the club in the media and says he will leave if the owner doesn't sell the club to his mate John Courtney. Gets sacked. John Courtney buys club. Re-instates Roddy. Loses record number of games in a row. Gets sacked again.
Dublin City: With three weeks to go until the end of the season and fighting it out with Shamrock Rovers against relegation, he walks out on Dublin to leave them managerless to become Rovers new manager. Dublin subsequently relegated.
Shamrock Rovers: His contract was terminated by Rovers the following year and the club were relegated after a playoff, ironically with his old employers Dublin City. Had a case of unfair dismissal settled out of court.
Floriana (Malta): He suddenly leaves Floriana FC, to join Cork City. Floriana FC claimed that Cork City FC never requested permission from them to speak to their coach and refused to respond to any phonecalls, faxes or emails requesting information regarding about such meetings.
Cork City: Before it can even be announced that he is the new manager, the owner is banned from football for a year by the FAI. Looks extremely doubtful now if Roddy will get the role.
First piece of luck that Cork have had in a while that TNB and this piece of **** will not be in power next season. No integrity, no honour and little knowledge about the game. He shouldn't be let within spitting distance of any club. Hopefully we'll see the last of now as he won't be getting his contract renewed with MNS either...
Theres a piece on Rte.ie football pages that Roddy can't go to Cork because TNB is banned from football for a year and therefore he is not allowed appoint anyone.I had thought of this on Friday that how could TNB make the appointment if he is indeed banned??

Appearently Collins had a pop at the City supporters in the star !
Yeah. See Joe Strummer's post above.Quote:

It's not clear to me that any restrictions imposed on Coughlan by the FAI would actually prevent Cork City appointing anyone as manager or to any other position for that matterQuote:
The question now remains over whether Coughlan has the authority to appoint the controversial manager.
Cork reportedly have not yet handed the final part of wages they promised to their players and if the debts are not paid by Monday, the club are in breach of the FAI licensing agreement and could be thrown out of the league.
Roddy Collins is a self-serving money grabbing shyster who should be chased out of the game with the upmost vigour.
Coughlan strikes me as being a somewhat similar odious individual.
It appears to my eyes that the FAI are beginninng to clean up this league- not before time obviously.
there is many more twists and turns to come but hopefully after all these labour pains , a new vibrant league will be born into the world.
we can but hope.
KOH
It says it all when the majority of our online fans, our forum and facebook, are hpoing we DONT fulfil the requirements to get a license tomorrow.Must be a first
Take a bow Tom.
Oh and the clown that is Mr. Collins can take a long walk off a short pier. I'm sure he'll change his tune fast enough when he signs his contract and the first paycheque bounces. He deserves Tom.
Maybe he'll take a percentage of the gates?Quote:

If so then he's even thicker than I thought. Did he think insulting the fans was the best way to improve the gate?Quote:

And who would calculate these gate figures? Cos theres a big difference between Toms gate figures and the amount of people at the game.Quote:

Not sure if it's been posted here yet but the latest rumour, as per our forum, is that the FAi's favourite Danny Drew is now involved.
A company of his is gonna be the shirt sponsor next season and he'll pay the money up front to sort licensing issues.
Also rumours that he will be made the new chairman in return.
Just when people thought it couldnt get any crazier...
Coughlan, Drew and Collins, and unstoppable force.
We're just short one person, four horses and an Apocalypse.Quote:

Having a pop off the players is worse, calling them overpaid when many of them are owed wages heading into Christmas only shows how easily his opinion can be bought.
As for Drew as Chairman, Delaney et al. will love that.
Looney Tunes beyond what we've seen already.
Who would have thought that possible?
