We'll likely only have to put up with him until February or so because I really don't see Cork being a Premier Division club and I don't think Roddy does the First Division. That's presuming Tom and co even make it that far.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

As if there hasn't been enough muck raking already.
You can't spell failure without FAI
It was sent via email but you can get it from the website - www.l-orrizont.com.mt now maybe that link is incorrect (no hyphen). But it's the L-orrizont newspaper, Malta (the Labour party publication).
Floriana are playing tonight in the first of 2 make or break games (against Tarxien). A draw will help them a win even better but to lose will have them facing life in the relegation pool. The write up will be on www.maltafootball.com And just in case anyone is wondering, the replica shirts will be available in Ireland from mid-January. The Irish Director of the club is looking after orders.
2-0 down, in the 2nd half now.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Got an sms saying 2-1 final score. That's 3 losses in a row. I know they've an injury crisis and a tiny squad, plus apparently Roddy is negotiating with one of the full backs to bring him to Cork (according to yesterday's Star). I don't think the man knows when to cop on and act decent. If Floriana don't get 4 of the next 6 points they're in the relegation pool for sure.
I think history shows he has no idea what decent behaviour and respect is. Whatever suits him best is what he'll do.

Spot on!
I hope that he doesn't get to manage Cork for a single game, in any division. Justice would be if he were left unemployed, with a lawsuit bearing down on him from Floriana.
In simple terms, Roddy is scum.
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
Eleven-a-side reporting Cork City are under a transfer embargo until the audited accounts for 2009 are submitted and assessed, 29th January at the earliest. There's only a handful of players under contract now ( and all were broken by the club so are now free agents). Bohs too.

Also, Joe Gamble has signed for Hartlepool United.
Best of luck to him, better off out of it with a young kid to support, sad as it is to say it.

All these Floriana guys sound like characters from Goodfellas. Wouldn't you love if Roddy turned up dead? I'd laugh
ah... i wouldnt wish death upon him but a life-long ban from the game and rte would be niceAll these Floriana guys sound like characters from Goodfellas. Wouldn't you love if Roddy turned up dead? I'd laugh
I wouldn't wish death on him. But if an accident were to befall him...
a horrific scrabble accident
Sicily is right next doorAll these Floriana guys sound like characters from Goodfellas. Wouldn't you love if Roddy turned up dead? I'd laughOr as Roddy said when taking the job "an hour away by boat".
No doubt he got used to visiting old cousin vinny over thereSicily is right next door
Good evening!
Maybe that's who's going to fund you guys this year! He did claim he was bringing investment with him, so if fat Tony and Louis the Lips are sitting in Turners Cross this year, don't say you weren't forewarned!
I hope that ninja guy turns up, the one who does nothing until Homer closes the door. I'd pay to see him fight Roddy.
LexlipRed, it could be a bunch of angry Maltese at this rate. This morning it was formally announced that Sunday Wasiu (the striker - ex Luton and Colchester) was leaving to go to Cork. Wasiu has been the talisman this season and only recently was in poor form. He's allowed to leave, under a contract that was drawn up by Roddy and not approved by the committee (as it was supposedly on a Friday evening before they played Valletta), for a mere €5,000. The Maltese media have jumped all over it as today in l-orrizont there was the story of the revolving door at the club - a Serb goalie signed for a month did his knee ligaments in the weekends game and has to leave, while the club sign a defender (who was on trial) from their partner club in Russia. Then Sunday formally announces his departure.

Reported in the Evening Echo Newspaper yesterday that Cork City's wage budget for next season's playing staff will be €20,000 per month so approximately €5,000 per week. One would have to assume, if this is true, that the Cork City squad next year will be predominantly part-time, even amateur. It makes a bit of a mockery of some of the names the club has been linked with in recent weeks.
One knock-on from this is that a predominantly part-time set-up would require floodlit evenings/night training sessions for much of the season, which Bishopstown won't provide [though rumours are we've been locked out of there for weeks now, only the postponement of underage games due to the bad weather is keeping it quiet].
Of course, the budget for 2009 presented to the FAI and High Court post examinership was reportedly €12,000 per week, which might have worked if it had been stuck to but people got carried away. At one stage last year we were reported in the Evening Echo to be paying over €140,000 p.m. or over €35,000 p.w. in wages, roughly three times what was the initial plan it seems.
