that interview with tam mcmanus I believe is the first comment from an ex Derry city player since the story broke.. It was shocking reading what he said of what happened.. more fool Stephen Kenny for stayin.. is he not better off startin afresh elsewhere like what Alan Matthews did after we got relegated?
Bear in mind it was in the Sun.Quote:

In fairness, it is quite decent for write ups on the LoI.Quote:

And btw, people don't often get suspended without pay whilst there is an investigation ongoing.
Will this 'new' Derry City be playing in the Setanta Cup?
Will the new "Derry City" be playing in europe?
shure they were expelled from the league and this is technically :) a different club so the answer to both questions is no. in the setanta the teams they played shold be given 3-0 wins or have results annules and they wont be in europe. just common sence really lads :D
Hard to see how they could. They look likely to be a 'new' club after all so there'd be no logic to them retaining the place. Would they even be that arsed? I doubt it.Quote:

With games against Harps and Shels I would say that is a very realistic figure and should even be well above that if Derry are competing at the top of the league.
I havn't checked but would that be well above the average for the 1st div since Rvrs were in it?
probably double the avrg attendance and atleast 5 times bigger than ours :(Quote:

Does anyone know what the budget was this year?Quote:

100 million billion trillion euro? :)Quote:

if succesfull they could well have 2.000 and above at games next year thou so seems reasonableQuote:
