Feels like I'm at the vet waiting to hear if my dog needs to be put down or will live to see another year.

Eh, Try watching the Town for over 30 years!!
Actually that means I'm supporting them for longer than Cork City are in existance.
Yeah but we had some good times in the 80's and 90's. Whereas the noughties were just downright depressing!! Anyways any word on whether Delaney has to use his own money or the FAI's to buy Cork?
any official word coming out of cork yet?
If and thats a BIG if Cork are relegated and Bray promoted what will Bray do with the players they have signed? Surely the players they've signed aren't good enough to keep them in the Premier Division? Will they get the chance to sign the players from Cork if they want?
there should be enough players who still arent fixed up with teams yet.
although you cannot take whats up on the pfai site as gospel as it looks like it hasnt been updated in a month or so.

Registration window closes Monday tippex.
But they can sign out-of-contract players. And there are still loads of them floating about - decent quality ones at that.Quote:

Any idea what time the press conference is scheduled for? Not one bit surprising this is dragging.
Why delay til Monday? That makes no sense. Why not get it out in the open and let Bray concentrate on preparing for Premier Division football if the FAI do whats right?!!! But nothing surprises me with the FAI
They are back in court on Monday.
details not confirmed yet.Quote:

You must have missed the twenty or thirty times it's been said already. This is going to drag on to Monday evening. Why announce a noon deadline and then ignore it?. They should make their minds up one way or another and let people know.
It is noon time Cork Style. They have their own time system down there and the sundial is broken.:D
There's been "positive developments" and "there could be news around 5" according to the Cork forum. Yawn...
in other words the deadline given as 12 was more brinkmanship....Quote:

Any Commercial deal never mind one as complicated as this will take an age to be agreed especially with all the new debts that appeared since tuesday. Obviously the consortium would prefer to trade under the name of CCFC rather than a whole new entity. The pressure is on TNB more than them because if they withdraw his creditors will hang him.
He wont be able to stick his head out for a long while if CCFC fold.
Something just struck me. If you are a director of a company which gets wound up, you're banned from directorships elsewhere for a period of some years (5? 10?). The FAI charge on TNB for bringing the game into disrepute, that made him give up directorship, right? Will he avoid such a ban if someone finally finds a silver bullet with Cork's name on it?
No. The FAI dont have that power. They made him stand down as chairman.Quote:

just thinking.
The only way things will be resolved more or less is if the takeover goes ahead.
If it doesnt then TNB still owns Cork City.
If that is the case then they will not be wound up on Monday as they paid their outstanding tax liability (the revenue were the only ones on the winding up order).
It would then be up to the ILC (again on monday) to decide the clubs fate.
If it was me I would be doing my damnedest to make sure the gimp cannot get anything out of it apart from the company being wound up which should lead to him being banned from being a company director for a substantial period of time.
So were the revenue payed on Wednesday?
I still can't fathom what's in it for the investors, Gray in particular. At least O'Connell is owed €225,000 or whatever and wants to try and get it back somehow which he won't if he lets the company be wound up. Despite their insistence on Premier Division football, the chances are the FAI are at least going to whack on a points deduction or else there really will be uproar. They've feck all players and very little time to sign any decent ones so chances are they could be down in the First next year anyway, a year later and hundreds of thousands worse off than they would have been if they just went with the FORAS club.
I'm making an assumption that they were but there doesnt seem to have been an official press release just being reported in different papers etcQuote:

any word yet MICLS?
Deal done apparantly according to somebody on CCFC forum.
I'd imagine most of tht was being painted by TOmmy as director loans (ie money he invested)Quote:

I don't think "wound up" is right in this context. Winding up a company is just the process of closing it down. That said, I don't think liquidation guarantees a directorship ban either, I think the only thing that guarantees it is personal bankruptcy.Quote:
