Strange, since everyone else is being told that it's independent licencing committee who award the licence and not the FAI?Quote:

Would be wary of taking aything Roddy says at face value. Would be shocking (if not surprising) if FAI were in a position to tell him, or indeed any club, in such definite terms the outcome of an "independent" process unless Cork have already had their face to face with the FAI ?Quote:

Statement Regarding Club Website
Cork City Football Club regrets to advise that our website is currently unavailable. This is as a result of correspondence sent to the club’s webmaster requesting his VAT number and inviting him to tender for the 2010 season. This correspondence is consistent with that sent to all service providers to the football club, and underlines our efforts to reduce costs and increase efficiencies for the coming season.
We would like to thank our former webmaster for his contribution to the club over the years, however in the interests of transparency such arrangements as may have existed in the past can no longer do so into the future.
The club hopes to launch a new official website shortly.
Looks like they're trying to avoid an old bill. I wonder if this means a new re-constituted CCFC in the league?
Bill was paid I believe after the last time it was down
Classic stuff! Trying to make out like the webmaster is the unprofessional one rather than CCFC. Is there no low they won't stoop to?Quote:

They've really shot themselves in the foot this time with their petty, knee jerk reaction.
No website, which they need for licencing. I wouldn't mind but it's an award winning website, the webmaster won young designer of the year at the golden spiders this year.
No official email addresses, great for the commercial manager trying to contact and chase sponsors.
I can't wait to see the new website!
It's not gonna be the same on here when this saga ends...
wasn't paid by the club or by anyone at the club. the bill was paid by danny drew.Quote:

Still have our license application in and all, so so far, yes, I would imagine it does. Though the sooner we know that CCFCILtd is bust, the better obviously.Quote:

That, ladies and Gentlemen, is ****ing Karma!
The order is the day after the licences are announced too. It'd be hilarious if Cork got a licence and were wound up the next day.
Player-wise, Drogheda managed it last season.Quote:

Yeah, but FORAS are presumably new to the whole running a club thing, sorting money, etc. I know they've been preparing for it, but starting from scratch is a lot more difficult to what Drogs did this year.Quote:

Or am I making an incorrect assumption again?

I'm 100% certain that Feb 1st, the date of the Court appt. will be before Cork City's licence decision is made. Of course, given past circumstances, I'm sure Coughlan will seek an adjounement in the hope of getting a licence and will use this and the tight new budget as evidence of his ability to repay the tax bill owed. That might work in his favour.
What will almost certainly work against him is that, unlike the last time, people like Gareth farrelly, the mystery benefactor who bailed Coughlan out last time might well row in behind the revenue and join the petition, in the slim hope that they'll get a few quid back as a result of this. If he's wound up, they'll get pennies, at least if they join the petition, the liquidator would be working on thier behalf too.
By the time Feb 1st comes around, Coughlan could be looking at a bill to be repayed far in excess of what if owed to the revenue. Mystery benefactor is owed at least €150k.
Don't think the Licences are announced that day that's just the deadline for the submission of the financials. The meeting wouldn't be until a week or so later Id say.Quote:
