"Maiden City Soccer Academy" says Wiki. A lower tier outfit nowadays.
Players were paid by cheque for March wages, which cleared, but April wages were due today. Nothing doing.
Edit: Beat Bray though.
Squad voting on strike action tomorrow apparently.
They should take the money they're paying for a solicitor and give it to Russell. Would probably be cheaper in the long run. The people in charge of the club have lost touch with reality really.
That GoFundMe page is here by the way for anyone who wants to help Russell directly: https://www.gofundme.com/sean-russell-medical-expenses
Just wondering: What happened to the 300k emergency fund the FAI had announced last year? Have Limerick tried to access the fund, or do they plan to?
And, in light of all that's going on in the FAI at the moment, does the fund actually exist at all?
Weren't the PFAI putting in half of that? I'd be surprised if it exists given the PFAI's reaction at the time
If I remember correctly, the FAI initially wanted the PFAI to put in half of it, but announced a few days later that the FAI would put in the entire 300k.
That's how it was reported at the time. Which account was the money held in though...
Pat O'Sullivan filling everyone with confidence: https://www.limerickleader.ie/news/s...l-be-fine.html
Not the kind of media appearance he would want I'd wager.
Strike is on unless commitments honoured soon: http://www.pfai.ie/news/statement-players-limerick-fc
Is there 'no other option' ? contracts can be enforced by law and any employee issues can be referred to the relevant national authorities. There are also limitations around the right to strike for any employees (although its questionable if these apply to amateur players)
Talk going round of the U-19s and U-17s being registered to fulfill senior fixtures. In the event I would rather hope that they/their parents wouldn't cross a picket.
More murmurs of unusual betting patterns in the Cobh v Limerick game.
