I would assume that - as it's an FAI Controlled League now - and that as Derry have been thrown out - all Players Registrations revert to the custody of the FAI - who can do what ever they want with them.Quote:

Sweaty bum time
So all this is to put the frighteners on people prior to a more widespread clean up of LoI financial pratices?:eek:Quote:

Doubtful. I reckon Derry were just the first ones to get caught once they stopped paying the wages there was always going to be trouble as it came out how much the players believed they were owed. I don't know how widespread it is really these days. A few years ago maybe but the Revenue have come down hard on a lot of clubs in recent years.
Meeting between board and fans has been moved from social club to the City Hotel due to the size of numbers that have turned up.
Who'll pay for that now?
Dungannon?Quote:

Irish Times gives most of the Delaney quotes:
http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soc...258461144.html
was at 'meeting'. I, like others, away back from 'top table'. The meeting was organised to be held in the soon to be opened (hold yer breath) DCFC social club. No mic so that people at back could here. Like everything else mismanaged. Just came on home. Heard comments like 'We're here to hang a corpse'.
I suspect that until you put your bitterness aside and show some objectivity on this issue, few people will afford you any credibility.Quote:

If you missed it, go down to Audio & Video at the bottom of the report.

Before the FAI finish this enquiry they should look at other teams finances.
Other teams may be making similar payments to their players and staff.
Has is come to the situation where the FAI are blinded and ignore other clubs.
Every club seems to have issues over the past season or so, from Derry to
Monaghan, Sligo to Dundalk..all clubs have been affected.
It seems that if that was another club the FAI would turn and look away.
At the end of the day if what Derry did is true then they deserve to go.
Not that i want Derry die,their support is fantastic and the League will miss it.
So what now?. Will the League look at other clubs?
That doesn't even rhyme... :rolleyes:Quote:

Meeting still going on - first speaker spoke for an hour and 20 minutes. I think it was Pat up next. He said something along the lines of the board being out of pocket to the tune of £300,000.
