I know technically he is CCFC at the moment but Its him ,always been him .His past history of folding/winding up companies and his behaviour with them is the reason they have gone so hardball

is there any mention of Coughan leaving the club if Cork survive? Surely this is critical?

Cork to be wound up

Hold everything, JD is riding to the rescue of CC. Is there a precedent been set here can we return to being reckless knowing that JD will support us in the end, or are we still paying the price for our former Chief Exec 2 years later. Looks like we have 2 different sets of rules. From The Ashes :eek:

Thats the risk if he is allow stay on beyond this point with FORAS hoping to remove him at a later date - this process has shown hpw he will retreat to the trenches and will be a bugger to get out - he will hold on for dear life to get his so called 700k back.

We'd need that to go ahead, hopefully there'll be a massive crowd there, we really need a big amount of money from this game as we have to pay the players next Wednesday.

If the staff are paid up to date then why did McGuinness say that they were now free agents??

Presumably Cork are looking to off-load them to save on the wage bill.

Surely they could make that with the Celtic match and other things up until then, the revenue seem to be very petty about all this, getting their money is surely the priority and they won't get the full amount shutting the club down.

And why would they afte how they've been messed around?
All this talk of Coughlan being such a spoofer ( and worse ) from the city fans yet now ye're willing to let him have one more go on ye, with JD in the room cracking one off!
Brilliant.:D

Cork City are wound up...

Newstalk are reporting that the Fat lady has sung for Cork City FC:

Cork City have failed in their bid to negotiate a deal with the Revenue Commissioners after the High Court today ordered the club to be placed into liquidation...

Hopes of a stay of execution had been raised after the Leesiders confirmed an upcoming friendly with Celtic, while a British consortium was also being lined up to make an offer for the club.

Tonight's clash with Bray Wanderers in the League of Ireland Premier Division will go ahead, as the club enters a 21 day liquidation period.

http://newstalk.ie/newstalk/news/219...und-up....html

My sympathies to Cork City fans, a moment no-one would like for their club.

why on earth have tonights game going ahead
31/07/2009, 12:33 PM

They still exist for 21 days; suppose they ought to trade to get as much cash as possible to help the liquidation.

If I were a Cork fan, I'd pay FORAS the ticket price and not go in. (And I know that's easy to say from here)
