The implication is that we offered 'big wages' more than '1k per week', which I dispute.
Chances are he just didn't want to play for Connor and was using the money as an excuse when Doolin came in, or that he was haggling and chancing his arm. We may have offered more than you [I don't know what you offered] but just because he asked you for €X per week doesn't mean we agreed to pay it.

And again, 'word from Oriel Park' is, IMO, Sean Connor trying to look like the only reason someone wouldn't want to play for him is because of money, not neccessarily the case.

Oh and word from Turners Cross is that you wanted to pay Stephen in motivational notes from Steve Bruce, which apparently isn't legal tender if you live outside Sean Connor's head.

Seriously what does it take for people in this league to learn? This time if Cork start going down the tube again we can all just sit back and laugh at the muppets.

What's that got to do with fighting relegation this season? I don't think ye will be but it's still a pointless question.

Is dat rite. Corkonians needn't be too offended, I'm fairly misanthropic after a couple of Bushmills, I would have liked O'Donnell to have signed for us.

Heard the exact same thing from a man in the know. I didn't really believe it at first but now i've seen it somewhere else i'm thinking it has more credibility. The rent thing is a way of getting around the 65% rule, not that Cork are going to exceed that but it very cute hoorish

Our turnover was 1.5million last year apparently but budgeted to be a fair bit lower this season

No offense lads but unless you've seen the contract then I dont think Il be taking your word for it.

Tom coughlan is not the type, to be throwing away money, and he doesnt have it to throw away. Doolin has a budget and once he sticks within it he can sign who he likes Id imagine.

O'Donnell has signed for us according to Doolin on the radio just now. 2 year contract.

He also said we'll be making 1 more signing before monday and that it's not George O'Callaghan.

He will want to play centre mid. I'd like to see the following as our starting XI now.

Connor
Horgan Murray Mezeckis Murphy
Healy Gamble O'Donnell
O'Neill Dennehy
Faz

with O'Neill and Dennehy given license to roam.

O'Donnell Signs For City

Cork City FC are delighted to announce the signing of Stephen O'Donnell. The Galway born midfielder, 23, has signed a two year contract and joins the Rebel Army having played for Bohemians, Falkirk and Arsenal.
Speaking at the club's training ground at Bishopstown shortly after O'Donnell put pen to paper, City boss Paul Doolin said: "Stephen is a quality player, and he is young as well. He's had good experience, he did well with Bohs last year and I think he is a good addition to the squad, as it gives us a bit of competition for places as well."

Oh I think Paul Doolin said he was going to sign him but Dundalk came in and offered him 70% more than his contract down here so now he is signing for Dundalk.

Where are Dundalk getting all this money ? :rolleyes:

By following the Cork example of racking up debts, and then going to the High Court to negotiate paying a fraction of that debt...sure tis a sound business model used regularly in the peoples republic:rolleyes:

No players are on ridiculous wages its a buyers market and tom coughlan doesn't just give money away.

Relegation - I doubt it
George O'Cal - Quite possibly!..however the only source still linking us is the Sun and to be quite honest i wouldnt lower myself to believeing that drivelling excuse for a tabloid...

If he does sign hes a good player, but has no loyalty other than to his pocket and will probably be gone by the summer, but i challenge him to prove me wrong....
