Don't know if it is true or not but his brother in law is one of the main people in CCOSC.

Trust me, being one of the main people in the CCOSC doesn't give you visibility to everything happening at the club, you end up relying on the same rumours and drip fed information as everyone else.

There's two people who are responsible for pretty much every scrap of rumour that's come out over recent months, they feed them to a few people on internet forums who spread them, there was a few grains of truth in some of them which has susequently resulted in everything they say treated as gospel now. It's gotten to be a joke tbh. Alot of the issue is that, for some reason, Tom Coughlan and the Club are refusing to fight back, clarify the rumours or put information in the public domain that would clear much of it up. Their silence is bringing it on themselves.

Also, the club is more than just Tom Coughlan, there are a lot of great people working incredibly hard to get our club back to some level who are being undeservedly tarnished by some of the rumours being circulated. Those starting them are doing them a huge disservice, and they should know far better and show far more respect. I think I'll do a Longfordian now and back away with my hands up, i've said my piece.

I that supposed to make a rumour more reliable? I work in Dublin so by logic if I sent you an email it would more believable?

I still can't understand how a legal dispute with a former employee could lead to a licence being withheld. That is a crazy precedent to set. By that reasoning with CCFC offered 95% settlement & Matthews, now employed by rival club (lets just assume Drogs are rivals) could reject it & get CCFC relegated.

Is it not a similar scenario to players not having being paid what they are owed? I don't see why there should be a difference between the two.

Wow. Amazing how you picked out the most irrelevant part of the post.

The reason I said he was 'here in Dublin' was to balance it to show that he wasn't close to the action so to speak in Cork.

As they say back home though, what do you expect from a pig but a grunt.

I was talking to a former cork player this evening who is still owed money

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."

thats incorrect

There's a big difference.

Imagine if Pete Mahon were to sue UCD tomorrow morning because he didn't get some bonus (one he was never actually promised). Should our licence be pulled until the court case was decided? Or should we pay up regardless and sue for the money back?

People don't usually make up wages they're owed, but there's often room for dispute, particularly over dismissal procedures in a sacking.

Of course, it's easy to imagine a club claiming that wages aren't really owed to get around that aspect of licensing, but it'd force things to court and probably hurt them in the long run. Not that LoI clubs think long term.

Farrelly ?
He's the only other I could think is lurking around Dublin.

**gufct** · 19/02/2009, 12:47 PM

I guessed he was the one mentioned in the herald as being owed �40,000.

While I do not condone the comment, thankfully I don't believe he had cancer.

Is this what Cork City fans are coming to? Hopefully these 3 to do not represent the true Cork city fans that think Farrelly was letting on he had a serious illness. Disgusting.
