Well it would seem that our squad has been kept almost completely intact and now we are clear with the Revenue and everyone else (temporarily I'd imagine) so there's nothing else to focus on only on the field matters. There's 14 games left to play and only nine points behind so it means we've still got a chance. If we're ruled out of winning, then Derry have no hope at all.

Your squad may be intact but the point, I think, is that Cork can't go on spending as much as they do at the moment.

It's very naive to think that all Cork's troubles are over just because they avoided being liquidated. The reasons why they got there in the first place have to be addressed or else this will all come up again further down the line.

Unless you're drastically reducing your wage bill even with the current squad, CCFC deserve everything and anything that would come their way. Is Tom adopting the Bohs business plan of winning the league to pay the bills?. Remember you've used up alot of your future income already.

Maybe by saying "ourselves" he meant Pat's..

Two big 'Coughlan Out' Banners in (our) Shed tonight...

Although apparently, according to the Irish Times, the real game was in Turner's Cross

Bohs travelled to Cork City where Kilian Brennan's goal on the hour took the wind out of the Leesiders’ sails after their dramatic High Court reprieve this week.

The squad is together for the moment only. Most of the senior players will be off at trials in the UK after the game on Tuesday.
It's utter delusion to think/expect you can win the league after what's just happened.

woot!!!

that win was so fufilling for some reason, went with my mum to the game and she thought it was a great game

Ndo was on fire at times, really thought he was good. Cork had a few half chances and I think we were lucky to not concede.

I imagine like a lot of us, worrying about going out of business. I tend to ignore the table when we hit financial trouble, and was sort of surprised at our league position recently!

I still think he's off his nut, we have no chance of winning this league, even if we hold together this squad, it lacks goals-and, despite what a lot of fans in this league and especially Cork City fans themselves believed, Denis Behan is a massive, massive loss for Cork City. But more to the point, we have 9 home games left (including SC) to generate revenue and that seems to be it. We need to cut expenditure like we should've done at the start of the season-however, you can understand why City fans think we'll keep this squad together. Tom Coughlan is an awful chairman at times, and seems to lack the common sense to truly realise how close we are to death, even now.

Your players haven't been paid in 7 weeks. This week the players with accounts with a certain bank will receive 40% of this weeks wages. The rest won't get a penny.

Cork players get paid monthly, as has already been mentioned throughout this thread.

Well this must be week 8 then, because the players a few of us were talking to last night have'nt been paid for 7 weeks. Unsuprisingly not impressed with Tom Coughlan
