I do hear a sweeping sound though,the sound of issues being swept under the carpet.

Quiet? Sure didn't Tom announce a new General Manager at the club
Liam Meaney, come on down. (pardon the pun)
I see the Liverpool Legends thing was postponed. That'll probably further delay payments to players and staff.
The FAI really need recognise that this guy is just going to try and fall over the post on Nov 30th and it'll all start again from there.
You should jump along with us and we might get a group discount.

If in Tommy you trust, you better hope he doesn't go bust !! :pQuote:

It's comical that the club paying wages as it agreed to requires a press release.Quote:

I seem to to remember that the schedule ran on into the close season?
At least they got paid, were do Cork go from there?Quote:

You know, if Cork's holding company folds, selling its name to a new holding company, they could start anew in the First Division. That'd free up a spot in the Premier, which no doubt Frank And Irene would consider best given to the biggest club in the First... Derry city (Mark D).
Unfortunately that won't happen because the FAI have made it abundantly clear that any no new entity can parachute straight into the first division, licensing wouldn't allow it, so the new Cork club would be out of luck there!Quote:

Isnt there some deadline coming up at the end of this month for clubs to submit accounts?I know theres some deadline that Cork will struggle to meet coming up in a couple of weeks but not sure which it is.I hope they pull through and survive,to lose Cork and Derry in the space of a few weeks would be a disaster.
Yeah, on nov. 30th Clubs must have eitherQuote:

if an employee, current or former, has gone to the courts to get their money then licencing cannot consider that particular case.
Specifically in Cork's case if money is owed to employees, current or former, and they refuse to sign an agreement, my understanding is that it could prevent CCIFL getting a licence. In the event that people sign up to the agreement and it's in place on 30th November, in the snapshot of time that is licencing CCIFL complies and gets a licence, if that agreement is subsequently broken, the outstanding money is not a matter for licencing until the next application period.
i.e. if an employee hasn't been paid, signs an agreement with CCIFL on a payment scheme which is in place on 30th November the licence application can proceed. if on Dec 1st tht agreement is broken and the employee never gets their cash, the FAI don't consider the outstanding wages until Nov. 30th next season. if in the meantime the employee goes to their court to claim the cash, the FAI may not consider it even at the next window.
It seemed significant last night that Gavin kept talking about the actions of certain individuals at clubs and also mentioned that TNB should engage with FORAS. It seems the FAI aren't even pretending to have illusions about the fact that the guy is a waste of space.
Not even David Copperfield could sell those illusions.Quote:
