What do you make of this story??

http://www.soccercentral.ie/viewstor...&viewstory=yes


Will he go and would it be a big loss?

[thecorner]

would the board ever take note and give the man whatever he wants
he is nearly,if not more important than flynny

DONT GO GEORGIE

[Gary]

If George goes, i reckon City will lose alot of fans. He has to kept, give the man what he wannts.

George in.

[Colm]

It is a certainty that Cork City’s chairman Brian Lennox and manager Pat Dolan will do everything within their power to keep such a crucial member of the first team squad, but it may just boil down to money at the end of the day.

Surely, if they're going to "do everything within their power to keep such a crucial member of the first team squad", they should just give him the money.
We'll never be a successful club if we always lose our best players to Shels or Bohs, if we are ever to amount to anything we will have to match what the other clubs are willing to offer.
I think Georgie is more important to us than Flynny and if we lose him it will cost us more in the long run than it would have to keep him.

[joe]

i don't think there's anything new in the soccercentral piece but my tuppence on the georgie contract issue would be along the lines of: even with him at the club we may not win the league but without him we probably won't win it

Let them know what is on your mind !!

[thecorner]

can u imagine georgie coming back to the cross with either bohs or shels


i dont think it would be an evening we would enjoy

[NorthoftheLee]

I heard something along the lines of Shels offering him 2,000 a week plus 25k signing on fee..........

But George has said he wants to stay at the cross.....City just have to offer him a good deal....

Pay the money or risk being also rans for another few years.....We have the basis of a very stong first team and we shouldnt risk losing one its strongest members.....


I know the club has limits but surely its time to think big act big...



Georgie IN....................

[James]

georgie stays or BOARD OUT

[pete]

Time for City to meet the expectations of the big crowds of recent years & keep their best players. If you leave your best players leave then gonna be all the harder to get other good players to join city.

No club in the league can match $hel$ money at the moment but maybe George is just holding out for a good package & not want the club to assume he'll resign no matter what they offer.

[dalo]

in all fairness there is no way city could meet shels offer but then gain does anybody know what city are offering george and what does george want. hopefully a compromise can be reached.

if it was o'flynn in the simlar situation i say break the bank. i think george will stay. if he does go then he deserves all the stick he will receive.

anyway I am sure/hope all this would be sorted though as I say it would be interesting to know what figures are being mentioned.

Dunno bout that Dayglo. One thing is for certain, is that if he does leave, we will be consigning ourselves to being also rans and an ambitionless club. I dont care if George is holding a gun to their heads, give him the money he deserves, the money he needs, the money City need to give him.

If he leaves, i can imagine the crowds following City will plummet.

[yiddo]

Just heard from a member of the squad that George has agreed a new 3 year deal and will sign it on Monday next. The deal will make him the highest paid player at the club.

[francie]

Every City supporter was so encouraged by the sounds coming from the hierarchy in the club at the beginning of the season. Their vision 4 this club to be the biggest in the league with commitment to local players. dont get me wrong we are definetely moving in the right direction but its a real test now with george. He fits into everything the club could be about the first truly creative player since Patsy and how weve longed for a player like him. Board think of the Gaughans Melaughs packers etc and the money spent on them. This is the big test for us to see yere ambition and i tell you if he goes so will a lot of supporters Tie up the players we need who are committed 2 the club b4 getting others. at this stage ye must know if ye dont compete with shelbourne what that does to our morale and of course to the players left. second city mentality is created by this like ollie. weve been asked to stand by ye well now the boot is on the other foot

[francie]

brilliant news
