I'll take your word on that MK, but I can tell you, as of right now, no monies have been received.

Fed up with this Linfield carry on a club who gets £400k + from the IFA annually and also had to rerarrange the fixture last year against Derry because Norn ireland had a game against sweden two nights later. Im fed up listening to Linfield club moaning about this and that, yous rule the Irish league with your mickey mouse tactics now your trying to rule the setanta cup. LOI clubs had to commence the competion last yr before the their season started to facilitate them, DJ of Linfield always moaning about fatigue here fatigue their, why dont they give up the meaningless county antrim shield and play in a bigger competiton and stop their whinging.
I can tell you now DCFC the new club have tried to contact Linfield on 4 occassions to pay the amount owing not once after voicemail messages has a member of Linfield got back to the club. It is a publicity stunt again by the blues to make them look the good guys

Sorry, but until someone pays LFC the money they are owed, they are quite entitled to do whatever the Hell they like, including declining to accept their Invitation [sic] to compete from Setanta.
What you simply cannot get away from is that if the new guys at the Brandywell want to benefit from their predecessors' Invitation to the Setanta Ball, then they (new guys) need to pay for the predecessors' ticket. Literally.[/QUOTE]
Again you're spot on but surely you can see that Linfield are using two contradicting arguments for not wanting to play us.
On one hand they say they won't play Derry City as they owe Linfield money. Which is fair play. And then on top of that they refuse to play Derry City anyway because we're a new club. So in other words they won't play Derry City whether they get paid or not.
My own opinion is that we should not only be turfed from the Setanta but also the league. But as a Derry fan I'll take every break we're given.
If that's the case, then why did Linfield report in the Cliftonvile programme that they had been approached by the Friends of Derry City and were making progress on the issue ? Why didn't they just refuse to speak with FODC and deal with the Administrators instead ? :?
It's a different story for Linfield every time the issue gets mentioned. They clearly weant everything their own way - you'd be forgiven for thinking they'd be happy without the money if it meant they could have something else to cry about.... :o
Or could it be - Henry the Janitor....?
Do you know the answer to your own question heren, cuz I sure as hell don't ? If not, then it's just pointless conjecture.
The point stands though. You can't cry about being owed money by someone you're in contact with about that money, and then when they point out that they've been trying to contact you over it state 'oh but we'll only deal with the Administrators' over it.
Linfield trying to have everything their own way. Just another excuse for a good cry.
As I'm sure you well know, a forum for football fans of numerous/competing clubs is often the last place worth visiting to establish facts. :)
If you want to know the facts, don't come on here demanding answers from ordinary fans. Contact the clubs concerned, or better still - just hold your water and see what comes out in the wash. 'All good thanks', and all that...
That is completely and wholly within the control of Linfield as to whether they have lodged their claim as creditor with the administrator.
They won't be "settling" any debt, as that's not really kosher under company law. Any payment would be an ex gratia amount by an
unconnected THIRD party.
As for what you'll get from the official liquidation, the square root of sfa I would imagine.
