I chose to ignore it.Be be an ignorant thing to do, but if he isnt moving then i wont be all worried for nothing

[golly]

if this is true and its a done deal then the club should announce it 2nite and d place will go mad. fair play to both george and the club as shels were offering george those exact figures NOTL at least the club realisewhat an asset george is and are living up to their promises to make us the biggest club in eire. cant wait for 2nite

[tiktok]

they won't announce i until the deed is done, and to be honest i'm waiting for him to have signed before i start breathing again, if it's true, it shows the club is putting money where Dolan's mouth is. it'd be great to see.

[dcnags]

didn't a certain central midfielder verbally agree to sign a new contract at the end of last season??can anybody remind me about what happened in that situation?

[yiddo]

Yeah I'll tell you what happened. A certain director of football couldn't be arsed to drive 80 miles down the road to get said midfielder to sign the forms because he was too busy making sure that he kept his job when Pat Dolan arrived on the scene.

just seeing that flick alone last night deserves the money

Well thats not quite true. ScumRat had said there was no need to come down, he would sign at training on Saturday, 2 days later. Gunther can't be blamed for not knowing what a dirty, lying, scummy, judas cnut the Rat is.

We'll have to agree to disagree but what you say couldn't have happened. How do I know? Pat Dolan was appointed manager at a press conference on Friday 21st February. Reynolds agreed to sign earlier that week and Gunther was to go down and sign him up on the Wednesday 19th but for whatever reason never did. There was no training that Saturday (22). It was the close season. Dolan didn't even meet most of the players until the following week when he met them all at Rochestown Park. Training started in mid March when Dolan tool the squad to UL in Limerick.

Anyway its all academic now. Reynolds has been the looser out of the whole thing and hasn't looked anything like the player he had been last season with City.

[niamh]

As said, nothing has been signed and the club could be offered money from bigger clubs even if he does. If Georgey does sign it means City will def get money in some form in the next three years.

We love you Georgey cause u got white boots...
I don't think he could play for any other club could he??

[Gary]

Any updates here? Anyone heard has the deed been done yet?

itll be like a new signing if we keep him.

Cmon George, put us out of our misery and sign up for the forseeable future.

Is it true he signed his contract on the pitch at half-time last night?

[NorthoftheLee]

in one simple word NO......he tore up the contract and laughed as ollie pulled one out and he signed that instead..........



















...........well that was the nightmare scenario that i was dreading....in other words Peader......YES.........

[liamon]

Did anyone ever think we'd be watching city players signing contracts on the pitch at half time? It was a nice touch, having him sign it in front of the fans. Smart bit of PR.
Got almost as big a cheer from the shed as Kearney's goal.

Plus, he's signed until 2005.
That's good news for CCFC.

[ccfc till i die]

Yes that is good news for me liamon, thanks

[ger121]

I was wondering lads do any of you know what sort of money he was offered. Probably quite good, as I remember someone posting here that shels were offering him 2k a week plus signing on fee. Good to see you keeping your big names as it keeps your squad strong therefore making the league more competitive.

[golly]

absolutly delighted with that news at least they are putting their money were their mouth is and backing up their statements that they want city to be the biggest club in ireland. and with georgie here till 2005 were on d way great news

a bohs fan saying its good that we r keeping our big names


not being smart ger, just in a little shock

[Éanna]

as far as I'm concerned that signature could be the most important in the club's history. absolute magic

[SÓC]

Fair play to Brian Lennox for coming up with a deal to keep Georgie here, shows he has a real ambition to make Cork City the best Club in Ireland.

[Colm]

Possibly the most important signing the club has ever made and it underlines our ambition to become the biggest and best club in the country.
Well done Brian Lennox and Pat Dolan.
