Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

**DRDoc** · 19/02/2010, 4:44 PM

no deal done yet - talks continuing

**Doomofman** · 19/02/2010, 5:03 PM

Well the outcome is obvious enough at this stage.. We now know that the Quintas crowd were just posturing with their deadline... So the deal will go through and Cork will get a premier licence with no fines or point deductions...

**culloty82** · 19/02/2010, 5:14 PM

According to Aertel:

Quintas continuing negotiations, "significant progress made" however "outstanding issues need to be resolved". James Duggan appointed CCFC interim chairman.

**Doomofman** · 19/02/2010, 5:15 PM

Read as: Quintas continuing negotiations, "We we're just bluffing with our deadline" and "We'll be in charge of a Premier Division club by Monday"

**Longfordian** · 19/02/2010, 5:18 PM

Tom & Co have now annonced a new interim chairman for a period of four weeks from today. James Duggan B.L. a well known barrister in Cork apparently. God knows why, apparently his task is to "ensure the smooth transition of ownership". Bit late now to be nominating lads for a period of four weeks when it has to be done by Monday. Apparently there's still a number obstacles to be overcome but "significant progress" was made today and negotiations are ongoing.

If it's any consolation, lads, we're just as ****ed off as the rest of ye.

TNB has destroyed the club and obstructed the takeover bid at almost every turn. BTW, I'd expect a points deduction.

Yea, the longest most painful labour in history.

At least it might be better looking & healthier than the one we threw out.

If I were Cobh Ramblers I would be getting ready to lodge a complaint against the FAI if Cork City are given even a first Division licence. Ramblers were hammered and not given any help. The FAI didn't give a rats ass about Kildare County either.

I am really starting to wonder is there a certain amount of Fianna Fail messing going on in this whole affair because it is starting to give off the same foul smell.

Not being funny, but he did save you from a winding up order Not defending him. Just pointing out you've been on the scrapheap for more than his tenure

**Longfordian** · 19/02/2010, 8:05 PM

True enough Arkaga sowed the seeds by getting them into the situation that allowed Tom to take over for a pittance. I still can't help thinking he's up to something why has he been hanging on for so long and why is he appointing an interim chairman for four weeks?.

I keep reading the above time and time again, yet it still make me laugh out loud.....

Has there been a sudden national outbreak of Hepatitis P (Dificillis Paranois) in Ireland at the moment...?

**marty** · 19/02/2010, 9:12 PM

Report on the local radio here that its all fallen through and city will be going the first division route with Fc Cork City,all over it seems

**Doomofman** · 19/02/2010, 9:13 PM

Really? Finally some justice? Naaaa... I don't believe you...

**marty** · 19/02/2010, 9:16 PM

Just on 96fm fella Billy Barry had a report on it for about 10 mins before the news at 10,hopefully its through as nobody will begrudge foras a fresh start in the first.

LOL - Do you think Fianna Fail even understand that there are any Irish football teams outside of Glasgow and Manchester....

The Dificillis Paranoius outbreak continues apace
