Eh its app true now!

Doolin is new Cork City boss - reports
Paul Doolin has been named the new manager at Cork City, according to reports in the Irish media.
Doolin has been managing Drogheda United in recent seasons, though he has been free to talk to other clubs given the financial problems at the 2007 Premier Division champions.
The news that Doolin is going to Cork, as confirmed by the city's Red FM, is a surprise given that, when asked if he was interviewed for the position over the weekend, he said: "That's news to me.
"I have not been approached by Cork City and I certainly haven't applied for the job.
"Cork City is a big club in a big city, but I think any manager would only be tempted by it if the club stays with a full-time set-up."
Owner Tom Coughlan confirmed that certain members of the squad will be retained on full-time contracts, with Doolin one of a number of managers linked with the job.

SC, your track record for predictions has been woeful but at least you mixed in a few plausible rumours this time along with the usual nonsense, Garreth O Connor to Dundalk!!! Give us all a break Sean and focus on getting a good rate of interest on your ill-gotten gains from Bohs.
P.S. Regards to Brucie

�1000 per week Pitch (prob earns a lot more but i dont have figures)
�800 per week bars

Plus you have shirt sponsors, match sponsors, ball sponsors, mascots, merchandise, sweet shop shop, Programs, goaltimes, Fundraisers, tv money, prize money.

Our youth training centre will be complete in the summer with an indoor pitch and Gym which will also generate more revenue for the club.

Where does the maths not work out?

Look, define full time - is it that these people are to be paid 52 weeks of the year or not. If the contracts are for 52 weeks their full time. Now your wages bill is 52 times 12k, 625k in a year. Assuming it will cost another 100k at lkeast to run the club, then by your sums, gate, bar, pitch and patrons will give you around 330k. That leaves 400k on sposnosrship and advertising. Thats where the maths does not work out.

As well as the fact that you're only allowed spend the equivalent of 65% of last year's income on your playing staff. Supposedly. It doesn't seem to add up. Or is that the case with promoted teams?.

**Dodge** · 13/01/2009, 2:13 PM

Is it nor 65% of prohected income? I'd imagine a promoted team couldn't be expected to budget on first division revenues.

**Jersey Cow** · 13/01/2009, 2:15 PM

Don't make me laugh Dalymount Thrower....

Just because your club mucked up again and again and again...
Any players playing illegally this year for you??.....

I thought it was supposed to be 65% of projected income last year and this year it was 65% of last year's income. I may be wrong on that one though. I'd imagine the promoted teams may be allowed do it on projected income alright, it would be an unfair disadvantage if they couldn't. I just wasn't 100% sure on the specifics of it.

**Dodge** · 13/01/2009, 3:05 PM

BTW I.m far from 100% on the specifics

My take on it Ronnie is that the players contract will expire at the final whistle of the last day. So none of the players (all on 1 yr deals) will be paid after that. I don't know the exact sums and neither does anybody else on here unless they are Dundalk Fc Officials.

Personally I am unsure of the finances and I hope that board have their sums right but going on previous years finances they have got it bang on.

Dundalk for Dan Connor...

So that's Thomas Heary, Harpal Singh, Fabio O'Brien and now Dan Connor...

I know we're in need of a new hospital up here, but that's some way to go about getting one....

Saw this in the Star last week, cant remember what day, also read about it on Orielweb.com.
Where did you hear it my friend? Very good signing if it happens...although, its yet another player who has been dogged by injuries the past 2 years!!
