"Last week, the supporter group FORAS, who want to create a new Cork team, caused quite a stir when they reportedly upgraded their application from Newstalk A Championship to First Division particpation"

That's news to the members of the Trust I'd say

"They submitted the application in case Cork City were refused a licence and were unofficially informed that they would have a chance of transferring the club’s name and history to the new team."

Load of nonsense, who's supposed to have done this 'informing'. It can't be the FAI, they have no control over the trading names that CCIFL own. The mechanisms by which the club name could be 'transferred' to a new entity are well known to everyone at this stage, and the people who control the name are Tom Coughlan, and if he's wound up, the liquidator.

Do you not just apply for a Licence to participate in Senior LOI competition and not for any particular division?
If so, how would FORAS upgrade their application from A Licence to First Division?

Coughlan stepping down as chairman
no choice after yesterday.

I'd much rather he stepped down as owner.

Meh, still owns the holding company and doesn't have much choice but to accept the football ban now.
I can't wait to see who's going to be temporary chairman while the membership scheme nominations and voting takes place.

Pauly No Brains, or Daddy No Bobs. If PNB got it he'll be the first chairman to pass memo's around written in crayon

If TNB gets a licence for the Premier, could (would) FORAS protest? All it'd take (in theory...) is one person to come out and say that they're owed money and haven't agreed to a deferral to show the licence is invalid; there seem to be plenty of people like that around.

I'd imagine Bray would be the first to protest.
