OK - I'm not trying to wind anyone up, just a bit curious
But am I reading this right?
Wellvan are essentially gone. A new company has been formed with the name Derry City and this is the team that will go into division 1 next season.
If its a brand new entity (albeit with a similar name) will dispensation be required from FIFA for this brand new company to ply their trade in a different country? The political climate has changed dramatically in the last 20odd years.
If, however the FAI feel they can transfer the existing licence to the new Derry, then surely it can be done with Foras, but why not Limerick 37?
Could it get messy and Delaney's plan not be a certainty? I don't think the FAI would be looked upon too kindly by FIFA at the moment
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
Celdrog,
The new trading company will have two options
1. Contact the administrator and purchase the member name "Derry City FC", which is the member club of the FAI. If this is the case the new club will be able to apply for a licence, and hope to gain a licence. Licence Transfer is not an option
2. If 1 is unsuccessful then the trading company would have to establish a new club and seek a new dispensation etc.
Are you saying that Derry City agreed the two friendlies with Celtic for Paddy Mc Court as part of the transfer in july '08 and decided to fund there expense as well?
Why in under feck would Derry agree to that? Granted our board may not have been the brightest sparks but...................this seems a bit strange to say the least!
Why did we not pay the hotel expenses for the 1st friendly with them last year but then change the terms of the transfer deal so WE would lose out.

So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
Mr Parker - the thread was reopened with the express rule that the association membership issue be ignored. That's twice you've tried to steer it onto that ground. I've deleted your posts on the matter; don't do it again. We've already seen the drivel that lies down that road.
1. You can purchase the Trading name Derry City FC [I think it was Wellvan t/a Derry Cty FC] but bow can you buy membership of the FAI? I assume the intention of this is to bypass the 3 years FAI affiliation that a new club would need, but I don't see how specifically the 'member name' is a tradable commodity by the liquidator since you don't 'own' the membership, the FAI do, and since they've broken the contract with you, how could it possibly be traded..
By the way, Licence transfer IS an option if you were willing to take on Wellvan's debts. If it really is 80% directors loans and the directors we're willing to write those off, you'd have a much more manageable bill. Though I guess the issue there is that the participation contract has been torn up and that if you took over the existing club and it was liquidated you're out of Europe for three years?
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Why the FAI thought they could withhold the registrations of a bunch of players who hadn't been paid in months is beyond me.
Its clear as day, to me at least, the players share an amount of blame in the whole thing, but you can't wilfully keep people out of employment without affording them due process.
