**tippex** · 15/02/2010, 10:18 AM

I assume after about 1pm.

Just been to the shop and all the fudge has aparently been bought up.....

**Tallaght Saint** · 15/02/2010, 10:21 AM

Hardly suprising, always knew the FAI wouldn't have the balls to relegate them. Roll on 1pm!

**micls** · 15/02/2010, 10:23 AM

Pushed back to 2

**Mr A** · 15/02/2010, 10:25 AM

its been pushed back to second call at 2 pending a letter due from AIB, revenue have agreed to push it back til then

From Cork Forum.

**Tallaght Saint** · 15/02/2010, 10:26 AM

What do the Cork lads honestly think will happen?

**micls** · 15/02/2010, 10:29 AM

Honestly have no idea. I gave up trying tp second guess Coughlan a long time ago.

I do know he'l bring it right to the wire either way.

**Longfordian** · 15/02/2010, 10:42 AM

The letter from AIB must be regarding money he has available. Not so sure why he seems to be planning to try and pay the bill himself when he could just do the deal. He must be up to something. As always.

Can't the FAI just drop this charade and just hand Cork their Premier License like they want to?

There are any number of things that I think could happen. It's pointless speculating with Tom involved though. Whatever seems most unlikely ...

**Longfordian** · 15/02/2010, 11:26 AM

Latest talk from the Cork forum seems to be that Tom has a loan got on the strength of money that Cork are due from the sale of Kevin Long that the FAI are refusing to release. He's apparently going to legally challenge this refusal. Fun times ahead.

oh ffs will the plank just give up and do the honourable thing (I know that TNB and honourable dont go together).

So he comes up with the money and pays the taxman but while he is still in charge theres is no way Cork City will get a licence.
He'll have a club just nowhere to play.

**Longfordian** · 15/02/2010, 11:54 AM

Seems he's calling the bluff of the FAI and the consortium. He wants a pay off one way or another. What's the betting if he is refused a licence he challenges that as well in an attempt to cause even more trouble.

**tippex** · 15/02/2010, 11:55 AM

It's hard enough being a Bray fan I cannot imagine how the lads in cork are feeling atm.

Id think this is a definite but Id imagine the FAi are well aware of it and hopefully ready for it.

Have been told there will be a Cork City (or some version of that) in the League of Ireland next year. But in the First Division, with Bray getting the place in the Premier

With Shels replacing Derry?

If Coughlan and Roddy arent involved, I'm alright with that. It's the second prize, but I'll accept it.

Reckon we have a better chance of surviving the First and consolidating anyway then trying to form a Premier team in 2 and a half weeks
