The Derry City thread - Derry sign first four players

**Dillonman** · 22/11/2009, 12:15 PM

So is there special dispensation for a player to join another team outside the transfer window, if the club he is with is in financial difficulties and havnt paid their players for some time?

The point he's trying to make is that the player is a free agent since his wages haven't been played.

Any other free agent would be able to join a club outside of the transfer window, as they're not a transfer.

Bit in this instance the FAI hold McLean's paperwork, due to his status as a City player until recently. So the FAI hold the cards here, but don't want to put them down.

He had a contract at the end of the last transfer window so he can't move til January. The player's gripe should be with the Wellvan directors who landed him in this situation rather than the FAI.

And the Lincoln guy should recognise that the players are in this situation because they were a party to cheating (albeit unconsciously if you take their word for it).

Nope. This is only the case if the player was made a free agent before the transfer window closed.

The filesize is to large to be allowed to be up loaded here, but the only name on the document is Mr Liam Martin McDaid.

Surely you meant to refer to the 'continuity' DCFC here......

**R�iteoir** · 22/11/2009, 3:50 PM

Is this the Provisional Derry City or the Real DCFC?

Ooooohhhhhh, whats your beef? Is it only the Celtic friendly?

Any news on whether there actually was a contract in place between Derry and Cliftonville over the breakdown of the costs?

**Martinho II** · 22/11/2009, 5:20 PM

so has the other Derry City officially closed shop now and will their crest be changin?

**pineapple stu** · 22/11/2009, 5:43 PM

Merged the threads as all that will happen is that the same things will be discussed in both threads (as happened the last time).

Yes there was a contract. Thanks for your concern.

What did it say? When was it signed? Did it refer to the McGinn transfer contract?

It seems DCFC's status is Mr Parker's new play thing/obsession, to add to his ILSF obsession over how old his club is versus Limavady United.....

Wellvan Enterprises, trading as DCFC, is now in Administration.

As for the crest, I suspect there'll be strong fan pressure to change it as most didn't like our current crest anyway.

However - that is unconnected to the change in legal entity. A chunk of fans have been pushing for a new crest for years now.

Signed with invisible ink on rice paper that was subsequently eaten by those involved.

Ergo - any proof of such a contract has turned to sh!t.

Mod edit - use the multi-post, FFS.
