Im sure the FAI have all the legal angles checked out and I can see them making a statement on this once they have digested the latest Court decision. I work in a Law Firm and the FAI would want to have everything done to the letter of the law if they are going to refuse CCFC the Licence so they cant let TNB challenge them in court again. I know its a farce but the FAI have to play this with a Straight Bat and not just jump in rashly.
Bohs have just annouced that they are playing Bray in a friendly tomorrow. http://www.bohemians.ie/match/12-mat...-on-bray.html?
Cork are in the Premier so....?
And now the ccfcforum has died....
Based on??Quote:

It beign unlikely they would have a pre season friendly this close to the seasons start with a team in the same division as them?Quote:

That a joke? straight bat? Already well established that the courts wont entertain it , internal mechanisms and all that.Quote:

Cork granted High Court adjournment
Monday, 15 February 2010 16:32
It has been reported that the Revenue Commissioners' petition to wind-up Cork City has been adjourned until next Monday, giving City more time to complete a takeover and obtain a licence for the 2010 League of Ireland season.
City's case was heard around 3.30pm but they were granted another extension, two weeks after the first sitting was adjourned.
The FAI must now decide if they will grant Cork extra time to agree a takeover with the Quintas group with a view to winning a licence.
With so much still up in the air, what do people actually want to happen next?
What do you think the best outcome/solution is to this whole situation?
Cork relegated today and the takeover getting done or it being decided no license for Cork today and Foras getting the go ahead for their team...Quote:

....but what is happening with the Quintas takeover. Last night they where threatening to pull out by lunch time today if an agreement hadn't been made. To the best of everyones knowledge no agreement has been made at this stage, so are we to presume that the Quintas takeover is dead in the water?
For there to be any shred of integrity left, Cork City have to get no licence, FORAS take up their First Division one and the consortium either get on board with them or go back from whence they came. It's just too late.
Where did it say lunchtime?Quote:

If Cork were to get a Premier Division Licence...does that mean that clubs are allowed to be as wreckless as they wish...rack up as much debt as they want...miss as many licencing deadlines as they want..so long as they have a takeover lined up for the date licences are awarded???
As I've always said when someone goes on about all the clubs around Dublin.... If teams from other parts of the country were good enough they'd be in the Premier wouldn't they?Quote:

Best outcome is that we can learn some sort of lesson from the 4th time going through this , that the remaining clubs know what can and more importantly WILL happen if they miss deadlines.
Best solution is to follow our own rulebook and boot cork out .
Basically...yes....according to the awesome regulations we have within this leagueQuote:

Anybody hear Cork given till Wednesday by licensing committee??
Agree with this. No totally new club should be allowed jump the que ahead of anyone else. If Cobh do get a First Division licence then they have as much a right as any new club to apply for the free spot in the First Division.Quote:

If only there was IMF for football they would have be long in here cleaning the sh!t out of Abbotstown, the Football Association of Ireland are bankrupt on credibilty, integrity and Delaney's own favourite phrase 'fair play'. The FAI are the Fianna Fáil of sport.
I for one will be boycotting games not involving my club and televised games this season until someone with integrity and 'fair play' are running the LOI.
I want Cork City in it's present guise to be refused a licence for any division. Let FORAS into the A League. THe FAI Need to look at the amount of clubs allowed in the league, we cant keep losing clubs and replacing them with junior clubs from housing estates. League needs to be trimmed down. The FAI have to ensure that Knob Jockeys like TNB are let nowhere near the league. I also want to see Roddy back on the dole!
Maybe this should be under a different thread heading - but maybe, just maybe, the FAI should take this gift from Rod, sorry, god, and totally revamp the leagues. Make a 16 team top flight and ditto 1st division. In one stroke you'd satisfy clubs who want to be in the 1st and premier, and more importantly give teams 30 matches in a competitive season. I don't know what to do with the FORAS application (should Tom and co fail), but at least they can go into a 1st division that will have a bit of bite and Cobh can also gain a slot. Derry, for fairness sake, also start in the 1st and have a 3 up and down.
Are they definately allowing Derry in though? Trying to catch up on the news around so have posted a similar question in the Derry City thread.Quote:
