They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
You sir, just made my day.
Roddy has had chances galore and leaves a stream of ill feeling behind everywhere he goes. Bohs (looking for huge money), Carlisle (sacked twice in 18 months), Dublin City (only 4 months there and jumped ship, although there is no-one left from there to hate him), Rovers (remember the charity boxing), Florina and now before a ball is even kicked Cork fans hate him.
He has a personal fall-out with someone at every club he has been at.
If Flora pro-active do get relegated, does that count as Roddy managing a team to relegation?
1/1,000,000 I would guess.
What are the odds on the current set up being part of the LOI at all for 2010 season?
I honestly don't believe Collins will manage Cork for even one game.
It does seem a common theme "an individual" causing problems for Roddy, he used the same against Floriana but not the actual person he originally fell out with as he was using him to get info on what the club were doing (this person was named and shamed in the Maltese papers).
If Floriana do get relegated, which is almost impossible to imagine, Roddy won't have gotten them relegated - he never makes mistakes and it's never his fault. Remember when he ran away the club were in 5th and unbeaten in 7 games, of course the fact that he'd been telling players not to sign and tapping up players to go with him won't be of any concern, because it's the truth. But the fact remains, he won't have been in charge for relegation - however, with Cork......
Never fear, Tommy will always find a way to come up with the moneyLet me guess, by cheque?. He has a track record of doing so.

Special by Kevin Muscat for Malta Today Weekend-
The 2nd most talked about coach in Malta this season last night apologised to his employers, the Floriana Irish, for his false statements in the media. "Shoddy" Roddy Collins, better known for his outlandish garb and tight tracksuit, retracted his statements made on numerous radio stations and in newspapers, most notably on Ireland's newstalk radio (where he is a paid pundit). Collins ran like the wind from the Hibs ground on the 13th of December last year in order to make a meeting with the owner of Cork City F.C.. Collins was claiming to be a free agent yet at the same time was negotiating a 2 year extension to his existing Maltese deal. On the 14th he agreed to join Cork (upon presentation of his letter of termination) and it wasn't until the 16th that Collins emailed his resignation offer to Floriana, this after already admitting he was about to take over Cork's vacant job.
The saga took a number of twists and turns with the Irishman badgering the Irish to sign a free release so that he could take up the Cork job and when pleading didn't work he began to make threats, which he made good on by slandering the club in the media. For a change the Floriana committee stood firm and saw Shoddy announced as the new Cork boss on the 23rd. The Greens made good on their promise to pursue matters and a court letter to Collins shocked the Irishman into admitting he had lied and apologising for "being misquoted". He went on, in communication with the committee, to apologise for the hurt his words and actions had caused and hoped "to remain a friend of the club". He admitted that he had been paid up to date and that Floriana had worked very hard to fulfil their obligations to him, and that until he left he had done the same.
Acting President Cauchi was unavailable tonight for comment and it has been said that Floriana and Cork are now in contact regarding a compensation settlement that should be concluded on Monday. Whether Cork City and their colourful owner, Thomas Coughlan, will be in a position to pay remains unknown, as does their league status and licence. A close friend of Roddy spoke with this reporter regarding the retraction and apology. "He (Collins) hopes that this will bring an end to the conflict as he was only acting in his family's best interests. Malta was too far away and he was desperate to get home to them. I hope Floriana will accept this as Roddy is really sorry for going so far." -In the colourful history of this difficult character it remains to be seen whether he will find a home in Cork or leave because of another individual before the seasons end. Collins may have brought colour to the BOV, but right now Floriana would prefer points to media exposure in their battle to get back into the Championship Pool.

Pauro and Leixlip, the most talked about coach is the Valletta guy (who applied, along with Roddy) for the Pats job after Jeff Kenna. He seems almost as modest as Roddy and supposedly buys his gear from a Dutch tailor called Louis van Coopeland (no relation). :-)
Heard an interview with Shoddy on RedFM tonight, refused point blank to answer any questions on Floriana and proceeded to spout his usual diatribe ad nauseum. He's some langer.

In fairness I don't think he can answer any questions on them because he'd be destroyed. I think his answer will only be "my legal people are dealing with it" which means "I can't talk anymore about or or the wife will bash me"
What was his main line of patter, about the greatness of Cork City FC and how he'll mould them in his own image?
Outlandish garb and tight tracksuit? I heart Malta
Gareth Farrelly and Paul Doolin were both on 'Now that's what I call Sport' on Dublin's 98fm earlier this morning. Criticised Tom Coughlan, Alan Mathews and new GM Liam Meaney as they made it quite clear they're still owed a large amount of money ahead of the licencing deadline.
They said it will be podcast later, here somewhere I assume http://www.dublins98.ie/
Farrelly's story was amazing, not only what he went through healthwise but what he's gone through since in the financial back and forth with CCFC. He confirmed he was offers the City Manager job when Doolin left.
Assuming all they said is true it means the club still hasn't answered outstanding payments to former players and staff that was due Dec 21st. Tom Coughlan being allowed tonfudge through a licence is looking less and less likely.

assuming tnb is not a complete idiot and has some idea about what he is doing how on gods green earth does he expect to get a licence .what is he up to. i mean if he set out to destroy cork city he could not have done a better job
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
About how he is the man and Cork is a great club, blah de blah de blah then throwing in a large slice of Georgie to try and win back the Ocaliban, (it already has the usual pities on our forum salivating at the mouth) and then an attempt at peacemaker, saying we should put all previous issues with Tom aside and unite in the name of city.
Quote of the interview was when he tried to play dumb to all our troubles saying "I've come in here, innocent".
I nearly choked on my tea.
If we get a licence i'll be sending a box of this to Abbottstown.

That could catch on!
