The exact figures were released, as with all examinerships

you cant go on using "when" kevin doyle is sold as a part of your accountancy practices.

He may stay at reading for 3-5 years or maybe even the rest of his career.

not wishing bad on the kid but he may get a serious injury or suffer a severe loss of form.

its time cork started talking about real cash.

As Dodge said, the E1.3m is the figure given to the court. This would have been very shortly after going into examinership, so wages would have been a very minimal amount in that.

Revenue 350k or so & Hummel 90k were the biggest creditors outside wages. Others included 10-20k creditors across MFA, Security, Pubs, Travel etc... The only conclusion is that wages (not just players) is the biggest debt.

What other wages were overdue? Surely the admin staff (etc) were just let go? I didn't think Cork owed any wages before applying for examinership? Have you see the exact list of creditors pete?

Don't know about the creditors, but i'm friends with one of the cork players & they are still owed about 1/3 of their wages since they agreed to a reduction

CEO (recently let go) & other admin & management staff that remained were I believe on 30%+ wages also. Probably did not owe wages prior to Examinership. Don't have list of creditors so just process of elimination. Forthnightly bill was supposed to something like 80k. Probably 3 months from start of Examinership to end of season. 350k seems conservative sum.

But the E1.3m was at the start of examinership.

Which would leave us to belive that the only other possible "large" creditor would be Arkaga?

Actually, you could be right there. Think I remember something about them charging a management charge?

I can't find anywhere official but the examiners' website has plenty of newspaper articles mentioning €1.3m so I assume that figure is correct.

Edit: that's the examiners who dealt with Cork's case, not the newspaper!

Can we get back on topic & discuss why Drogs think they are a special case?

;)

Drogs aren't a special case. End of story.

You may get a breakdown on CRO.ie of Cork's liabilities.

---

Shels paid their players wages at the end of the season after agreeing deals with all players.

You'll have to update your theory on why shels were demoted!

Drogheda's fans are sleep-walking into oblivion. Any fans asking difficult questions are being shouted down by other fans that believe Hoey and others, under no circumstances, should be questioned. I believe the meeting held last Thursday evening was a circus.

AFAIK 1.3m included running costs of the club up until the end of the seasona nd we actually only owed (at that point) 800k

Arkaga gave over their stake and forfeited any money owed. They got nothing

That sounds probable alright. Examiner would be looking at what it would cost to keep it running, rather than just clearing debts. Thanks for settling it (in my head anyway)
