Beyond a joke at this stage.

Oh wait... No that's exactly what I said a few posts up... What a joke...

which surely means license cannot be granted as no agreement in place with revenue and presumably no tax clearance cert.

I was under the impression that there's various reasons the licensing can be put on hold... Maybe this is one of them...

But an ongoing case might cover that one.

**HammerNThongs** · 15/02/2010, 3:00 PM

I desperately hope that's a wind up.

**danthesaint** · 15/02/2010, 3:01 PM

do you reckon the FAI would wait for any other club like this........

**The Lilywhites** · 15/02/2010, 3:01 PM

****ing joke. **** them out now!

**tippex** · 15/02/2010, 3:01 PM

why does justice laffoy seem to have such a soft spot for cork?

**Dunny** · 15/02/2010, 3:01 PM

It's a FAAARRRCCCEEE

**Longfordian** · 15/02/2010, 3:01 PM

No tax clearance cert, no payments to employees, 65% rule smashed. If they get a Premier Licence the other clubs should demand that the Licensing Committee resign and be replaced by a new committee appointed by UEFA as they are clearly not an independent body.

**Doomofman** · 15/02/2010, 3:02 PM

I assume that gives them an extra week to pay the revenue?

**kid creole** · 15/02/2010, 3:03 PM

Rest of the league being ridden rock solid

I think you may be correct ...this ***** is snakier than a bag of cobras...theres some uefa technicality whereby the money must come from the club account and this was frozen so he couldn't transfer the money to the revenue...The cynic in me is looking at his involvement with Aib and his Aib mates as to the real reason the account wasn't un-frozen

**White Horse** · 15/02/2010, 3:04 PM

Expel them from the league, premier, first , and A.

**gufc2000** · 15/02/2010, 3:05 PM

How the hell can the FAI expect Bray to be prepared for the Premier Division if next week they are promoted? Absolute joke, hang yere heads in shame.

**Doomofman** · 15/02/2010, 3:06 PM

The FAI have no shame

**pineapple stu** · 15/02/2010, 3:06 PM

From the Cork forum -

AIB ordered to unfreeze CCFC account to receive 158k from the FAI, of which 107k goes to the revenue by Wednesday. No tax clearance cert today so licence.

Bit worrying that there's no mention of the takeover there. TNB wants to pay Revenue from the Kevin Long money when they can be paid from the FORAS/Quintas investment. Worrying for Cork, I'd have thought.

i assume that like every other winding up order in the high court the law must give every chance to the company before it for winding up....

HOWEVER....

the FAI have an obligation to the other 21 clubs to clear this mess up for once and for all. Act now or you are a laughing stock (again)...
