Dan Murray and Neal Horgan signed new contracts with City
Actually Jim Magilton has said that Billy clarke does not feature in his plans, his loan is up at xmas for darlington and his contract is up at end of season at Ipswich so chances are that he could end up back here!Quote:

So when are Kilkenny coming back to the first division? :DQuote:

How are Cork signing all these players? Are they actually going to be allowed play Premier football next season? Disgrace.
Current players have taken pay cuts(large ones) and we only have 7 players under contract at the moment.Quote:

How so?Quote:

And it'd be a disgrace, because there are no point in having such rules if they aren't going to be implemented.
Ps. Sorry for going off-topic.
It's not Nov 30th, read the rule book. If debts are cleared or agreed by Jan 31st, then club meets the licensing criteria. Fact.
How much do CCFC owe in wages?
You can prove anything with facts.Quote:

I just wish people would read the rules themselves before assuming they know what they're on about.

Apart from the fact that it contradicts itself, it specifically mentions having people paid by January 31st if they're not paid by Nov 30th. Most people seem to think this means a deal has to be in place by Nov 30th, which it was.
Gints Freimanis also on his way to Cork City
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=wCatIHAFnnM
Gints looks like a quality player from that clip. The new Fahey?
Ah the wonders of youtube :DQuote:

We didn't get him registered by the end of the window so he just trained with us and played a few friendlies. Good player but I wouldnt say he'll be the new Fahey!.
Wasn't there something about him having a brother living in Longford? That might explain it.Quote:

Be very wary of youtube footage - when we signed goalkeeper Dimitri Brinias, someone found clips of him on Youtube which made him look like a genius. He wasn't.Quote:

All our backroom staff got the same afaik, same as other creditors. A lot of them are happy to write off the money(or were a while back when I spoke to them) as most are city fans(in the office anyway).
Its unfortunate but the same happened to the other creditors. They got screwed.
Players will get their money cos they have to for us to get a license.
Bialek with Pats :DQuote:

A Longford fan was telling me Freimanis is class. Mathews sent him up there when we went into examinership, knowing he could bring him back down once we were out.
Apparently he's down here now anyway. And I know its a dangerous game to judge him on a YouTube video but looks promising. Certainly better than playing Darren Murphy right wing, he's a centre mid through and through.

I always knew he sucked.Quote:

And your fine with the fact the people who sell you tickets are not getting paid so the club can sign the guy who set up a goal vs bohs.Quote:

The people who sell us our tickets(Ticketscan) agreed to the 7.5% along with other creditors.
NO city fan, is happy we went into examinership, or that our creditors, most of them City fans got screwed. but it happened, theres nothing we could do about it(as fans) and forgive me for being happy that the club came out of it.
We are starting afresh, with a new owner, and he is putting in place structures to guarantee we dont spend more than we bring in, from now on.
The whole point of examinership is to sort out the debt owed, generally paying a percentage of it, and move on with a clean slate. Its unfortunate for those who lost money(my sister was one of the staff who did) but we must move on.
Most City staff are happy with the arrangement at present, anyone who leaves(or has left) because of the money they didnt get, I wish them nothing but the best in the future.
We are signing Fremanis because within our new sustainable budget, with our new owner, we will have 16full time players and he will be one of them, not because Arkaga managed to screw money out of my sister and others.
