it is, if Bray go up, they will have a form another team, Wonder would the Fai give a club like Bray so much time if we were in the same boat? Not a chance. The FAI have fecked up big time, now every club in future can take as long as cork and not get repermanded for it. The FAI are just truely the worst organisation in the world, even worse than our government.Quote:

That is making a huge assumption that the FAI/ILC will do the right thing.....Quote:

Anything is possible. And not in a good way.
The FAI/ILC will use this as the excuse to award Cork a Premier licence.... They will spin it so it looks like they are doin' Bray a favour.Quote:

Actually there might be a bigger issue - what if Cork don't get any license - that leaves one division a team short or did FORAS get their license last week but not publicised? It doesn't appear that any of the 'A' division teams can step up and with no allowance to sign players after Monday why would they?
Although am I right in signing Bray / Cork / whomever can still sign out of contract players - are there enough still hanging around to make a team?
the fai had ample reason and oppurtunity to desmise cork from an fai run league they used a pending court case to keep them in the frame they are not oblidged to do anything ,they could of refused any licence from cork on the grounds that they had not applied for one in the correct manner or on time and that they had consistantly dragged the league into disrepute but they (he) choose to keep them in the hunt , no other club was ever given that much latitide except when they choose to bypass licensing to keep derry in LOIQuote:

Two seasons ago the IFA demoted Portadown for being 30 mins late in getting their documents in, that is how to administer a league. Make a rule and stick to it.
That was not in relation to licensing though.Quote:

Yes - I know that covering debts would be an honourable thing to do, but the debts are the responsibility of those who mis-ran the club, and any new club could offer to make payments to old club creditors if it so wished (like DCFC has done).
Fans shouldn't let themselves be or feel emotionally blackmailed over the debt of what is, at the end of a day, a business run with no input from them.
So what exactly is there that is worth paying €900,100 for (or at the very least €600,100).....? :confused:
I wonder is Sepp Blatter a visitor to Foot.ie
If he is, he'd be rolling around on the ground keeping up with this thread.....
required points .what a load of nonsense.maybe bray should have borrowed 2 or 3 million and gained the required points.cork must go
I think the fans feel the history of the club is worth saving. Not sure if I'd be willing to pay that much for it however.Quote:

Is their some email address in the FAI that all members could maybe send an email to as supporters of irish football to let them know how people feel or is it a waste of time
"they have asked can't we be team number 11 in the League of Ireland premier division. hehe. Yes, they have asked for that, really. hehe"Quote:

So FORAS for the 1st Division then...
Looks like it.Extra time article here. Bray get your gear ready.Quote:

I'm not getting my hopes up yet... I still think the FAI will find some way of not following their own rules with this...
They won't give Tom a licence much and all as they want Cork. They declared war on each other some time ago there is no way Delaney's ego would allow Tom get the better if him. If the takeover doesn't go ahead it's FORAS on the
First.
If this takeover doesn't go through,no chance. Even the FAI won't be able to fudge it this time.Quote:

Quintas ready to pull plug on takeover
Thursday, 18 February 2010 19:41
Quintas has stated that the deal to takeover Cork City is unlikely to go through, plunging the club's future into doubt once again.
The consortium, comprising of Peter Gray, Michael O'Connell and FORAS, the Cork City Supporters Trust, have set a deadline of noon on Friday finalise the offer.
Looks like a waste of a new website
Why's that?Quote:

Exactly.. Just make up some reason for the co-op bit :pQuote:

After the adjournment Monday it was taken back to just a 'coming soon' page.
The webmaster will be delighted you thought it was lovely though :D
Should change it to 'coming sooner than you think'Quote:

Could you post about them and you in a separate thread of your own please?
No,coming soon to a league near you. Foras will be lonely in the 1st Div without Bray this year. Not to worry as I'm sure that they will be back down with us at the end of next season.Who knows even Pats might decide to join us. After all your manager is an expert in relagation issues:DQuote:

After noon tomorrow we may know a lot more . FORAS have annonced a members information session for this Sunday.
More than likely to explain why they've had to pull out I would think. Don't see it being salvaged by 12 tomorrow when he hasn't co-operated all week. He doesn't care if the club goes bust he's put nothing in by the looks of it.
