Still have to say this not a good day for the league
Till d End!
12:14:40 [AAD] Subject to ongoing cooperation of Derry city fc being forthcoming the board has agreed that an Fai delegation will,In the coming week meet with Derry city fc and the varius other stakeholders to consider how Derry city fc may participate in senior football in the loi next season
is it expulsion or demotion?
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
So when was the last time three clubs pulled out of the league in one season/
Damn.
12:16:43 [AAD] At some level other than in the premier division. The Fai terminted the contract as they could not relegate them
If they're good boys they'll get into the First. If not, it's the A League. Could all be irrelevant anyway in the long run.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Not demoted, out of the league. Presumably they'll now fold the company and a new one will apply for the A League. If so, two points to note:
- They're too late to do so this year, but might get an exception made. Oh, and if they got a 1st division licence, and there was space...
- There could be some jurisdictional problems with the IFA.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Looks like I stopped supporting club football at the right time
Sad to see this happen to Derry but there's no future for football in this country at a decent level
If you had been following the thread (was way back in fairness) you would be aware that the sponsorship excuse for "just a smokescreen" according to MariborKev, who knows what he's talking about. Nevertheless, they have been sanctioned for having "second illegitimate contracts with players".
Derry are Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till d End!
If they don't wind up themselves someone will do it for them, probably HMRC who will surely be applying penalties for these illegitimate contracts.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Tony O'Donoghue saying FAI contract terminated but Derry may yet play in the first division next season.
Would be terrible to lose them altogether.
