Now that Cork have sold off their best players over the last year or two and are playing for european places rather than league titles...
What good has it done ?
Is the money going towards debts that were built up having those players in the first place or where is it going ??
He said both players went to Premiership first team squads. That's clearly not the casew ith Bennett.Quote:

Bennet did transfer to the 1st team squad as opposed to the youth team.Quote:

Even with extra cash it is difficult to find quality players & pay their wages.
We probably haven't made much money from Doyle, Long, Bennet & O'Donovan transfers at this stage but with sell on clauses hopefully we will start seeing extra cash in the next few years. It would be reasonable to expect that Doyle 10% clause would be worth E1m.

I presume the deal with him going to be loaned back to Cork for the rest of the season is part of this yeah?:confused:
No, that was part of the scuppered Fulham bid. He's gone for good AFAIK.
Ah right. I remember Keane(or maybe it was Quinn) saying he wouldn't mind arranging a similar loan deal with Cork for O'Donovan. Cork are in trouble for the rest of the season so...Quote:

It was Keane but he changed his mind when he convinced Roy not to go to the Fulham medical.Quote:

wath a waste of money roy (keano)
How long before O'Donovan has a thread in the Ireland section here? :p
The next day after his transfer I had fella at work asking me if he was any good. Granted he is not Irish but he still had never previously expressed an interest in the eL.
I would have preferred it if he went to Fulham.I hate Sunderland
i notice alot of people are starting to feel the same as ya. :confused:Quote:

2 big atitudes there.
I wonder if Colin 'Im to good to go on loan to the league of ireland' had a go off him afterwards.
Hell it didn't take him that long to get into the team . I hope he does well for them .
I see nobody has answered this question.Quote:

The money is to be used to pay for half price fish suppers for City fans until the cash runs out...Quote:

Either a lot of other clubs are about to go to the wall (which is highly possible!) or somebody is taking money out of the club.
Sorry, I can't give you a certain answer.Quote:

One can only speculate.
New training ground in the offing.
New City Centre premises (unsure if this is rented or mortgaged)
New General Manager
New Director of Media and Operations
New Commercial Manager
Club Promotions Officer (making up a shortfall in his wages after FAI grant or so I heard.)
As for on-field, I wouldn't be surprised if the money-men have already decided to wait til next pre-season to invest further in the playing staff (and possibly management) given the way our season has gone.
At least, that's what it looks like to me.:o
E1m would not pay for 2 years wages. Maybe 8 months.Quote:

Yours must be big then as ours was rumoured to be between E25-30k a week at the start of the season.Quote:
