    If we are playing in the first division next season our travelling will be drastically cut with games against Harps,longford ,Athlone,two galway teams,Shels again and the best of all, a great trip to Mongahan where they have/had the best looking bar staff in Ireland and only an hour away from home.

    Always look on the bright side of life.
    So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html

    I have no wish to lose Derry at all, but that's one disgusting fudge.
    If the FAI have promised the new entity first division football next season, they're clearly breaking their own rules.

    Fudge is right tictok,but seems that quite a few fudges are happening.

    I'm guessing that the "new Derry city" (small c ©ORA ) would just not have bothered entering if it were to have been in the A league so therefore this is probably the best option for all L.O.I. fans especially ourself's.

    This stinks to be perfectly honest. I do want to see Derry back up and running, but I'm sure a hell of a lot of clubs would gladly trade a clean slate and a demotion for debts wiped out and a fresh start.

    At this moment in time, it reads like a cheaters charter. Cobh were guilty of far less reprehensible activities yet received no real help from the FAI.

    Yeah this is seriously wrong. It had to be the A League.

    i think this is disgraceful given all that has transpired over the last week. I have no objection to Derry in the First Div per se but to have your slate wiped clean and then not even have a points deduction is laughable.

    This stinks.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    What makes Derry City II more entitled to a FD place than Tralee, Castlebar etc.?

    Good man Delaney, keep making up the rules as you go along, is there any credibility or decency at all left in the league among the clubs and the people running it?

    Delaney calls today a "good day" - a good day? Hes talking about Derry walking away from all their debts, monies owed to players, other companies/people, fellow clubs in the North and he calls it a good day. Its a bloody scandalous day, Derry have their debts cleared & drop a division with seemingly no points deduction yet he calls it a good day.

    By the way, where is McGuinness and the PFAI in all this defending their members and seeking out their owed wages? Hardly a peep out of them, hiding behind Delaney and their buddies in the FAI as usual.

    BBC Radio Foyle reported that the new club could possibly start next season on -40 points.

    I'd imagine the PFAI feel they've come out ahead, what with getting away with the blank contracts etc.

    But even then they'd have to only win a playoff against one of the A-Championship non-reserve sides to stay in the division, and we've not factored in the fact that such a non-reserve club may not finish in the A-Championship qualification spots.

    Anyway - this is all speculation and such at the moment - let's just wait for the final edict to be handed up from upon't high by our beneficial insect overlords at the FAI

    If Derry are allowed back into the league with a clean slate and considered to be a new club then it should be as an A championship side. I dont see the point of an A championship if new clubs can bypass it into the first.

    Well as I've said many times before - they share the same offices and are indistinguishable to all intents and purposes.

    Well at least now DCFC know that they can run up big debts and all they have to do is form a new LTD company transfer the DCFC name and start in Division one again.

    Looks like boom or bust isn't necessarily the worst idea now because you go bust you have a chance to rise from the ashes again.
