I Apologise I was wrong about Drogs so who does that leave Dundalk,Pats,Derry or Rovers?

Athlone was how I read it.
I was talking about Licencing and you tore into Longfordiam making all kinds of accusations against Alan Matthews who I know since he was a player with galway and he has always been up straight with me in any dealings ive ever had with him.

Does that include the amateur clubs?
Sorry, I was still going on the article in the Herald (players owed E20k and not confident of receiving it even though an agreement has been reached). Wasn't aware of Delaney's interview.
dman - I think Athlone are amateur this year. Or close enough anyway.
Yes, the fact that you're friends with Alan Mathews and therefore biased in his favour has been duly noted. I used to have great time for the man too, which is probably why I'm so hugely disappointed in his antics over recent months, some of them incredibly petty.
He's not my buddy. I know him alright, not that well personally but he would be close to people I do know very well. I wasn't casting aspersions on CCFC in and of itself, more reporting on Tom Coughlan's alleged approach to the parting of ways. At the end of the day Mathews will be alright one way or another so don't think that I want to see ye hammered or anything. My interest is mainly a personal curiosity in how it pans out in a legal sense. That's the area I'm in. I'm going to back away from this thread slowly and with my hands in the air.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Alan was well within his rights not to reduce his wages.Obviously i don't like seeing the club in trouble but they put themselves in this position
His money?
No change with the new owner((s) as we don't know who else is involved with TNB).The same as Arkaga really a manager wins a cup and gets the sac hmm where have i seen that before.
Agree with this completely.
No its definitely not Athlone although they were mentioned in relation to Post dated cheques which will have to be cleared before they get the ok and I think Kildare are in the same boat. There was definitely another Premier Team but i dont know which one.Ours, Brays and Droghrda are the lowest budgets so that leaves anyone of 4.

It's ok, come back, I realised I'm taking all this far too seriously.
He did agree to reduce his wages, to his credit, why he didn't then sign the agreed contract is what's at issue.
Arkaga = CCFC = Tom Coughlan.
If that's how you see it fair enough, but Tom Coughlan is suffering more than he should have had to from the Arkaga hangover.
Yes.
If the court rules that he should be given €1million euro, so be it, we should pay it.
But all this talk of what he's owed and how he was treated pre-empting any ruling is a joke IMO.
I knwo who else is involved with TC as of last weekend, no-one else. If he feels that he can't afford the club and in the future wants to bring someone on board as an investor, well it's his club.
As for the comparison to Arkaga, you'd want to cop yourself on. You've a fairly short [or just poor] memory if you can't remember exactly what they did to us.
Fair enough i know that you would know lot more than the rest of us about whats happening at the minute.
But did Arkaga not get rid of a manager who just won a cup?
That's where the comparison starts and ends, beyond that it's unfair.
For the record, I don't believe that Rico should have gone in 2007 and I don't believe that Mathews should have gone in 2008, I think they both deserved another season, but then I was party to the reasons for firing either. Rico's settlement suggests his case was at least partially unfair, Mathews settlement may reveal the same, only time will tell.
Bald Student recently loaned Student Mullet €20 in the bar. When asked for it back, Student Mullet claimed that it was Bald Student who owed him €20. Obviously, there are two sides to this story and somewhere in between is the truth.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Yeah, both of them are lying.
No student with €20 would give it away. In a bar.
According to a Cork work colleague here in Dublin, cheques to CURRENT STAFF have started bouncing around Turners Cross. It will be interesting to hear reports from the forum.
This is what he emailed me earlier today. "Cheques have been bouncing since the New Year apparently to current staff. PFAI now getting involved. FAI have warned Coughlan that unless this is rectified in the next week then they will rescind the Premier License."
That's bull anyway because they have not been in Turners Cross yet
