The Derry City thread - Derry sign first four players

[Martinho II]

that interview with tam mcmanus I believe is the first comment from an ex Derry city player since the story broke.. It was shocking reading what he said of what happened.. more fool Stephen Kenny for stayin.. is he not better off startin afresh elsewhere like what Alan Matthews did after we got relegated?

Bear in mind it was in the Sun.

Not exactly Pullitzer-winning stuff at the best of times.

In fairness, it is quite decent for write ups on the LoI.

[OneRedArmy]

Of course you can. The Financial Regulator can order a bank to suspend a memeber of staff pending an investigation.

There are loads of examples of people being restricted from working while they are investigated for wrongdoing if you want to find them.

Not without being paid.

Who - The Scottish Sun......?

[OneRedArmy]

People get suspended without pay pending an investigation into wrongdoing all the time.

There was no investigation ongoing. The investigation finished when the players met with the FAI the week following Derry's expulsion.

Yet their registrations were still being withheld, meaning they couldn't take up employment elsewhere.

And btw, people don't often get suspended without pay whilst there is an investigation ongoing.

Will this 'new' Derry City be playing in the Setanta Cup?

[Riddickcule]

Will the new "Derry City" be playing in europe?

[Acornvilla]

shure they were expelled from the league and this is technically a different club so the answer to both questions is no. in the setanta the teams they played shold be given 3-0 wins or have results annules and they wont be in europe. just common sence really lads

[Mr A]

Will this 'new' Derry City be playing in the Setanta Cup?

Hard to see how they could. They look likely to be a 'new' club after all so there'd be no logic to them retaining the place. Would they even be that arsed? I doubt it.

Will the new "Derry City" be playing in europe?

Hell no. Apart from anything else, the new club can't provide 3 years worth of accounts. Plus they've been thrown out of the league for cheating. It'd be a bit mental to then let them represent the league in Europe!

[Candystripe]

Will the new "Derry City" be playing in europe?

Didn't qualify so it doesn't really matter.

[Mr A]

Didn't qualify so it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, but what's the odds of Cork making it that far?

[Candystripe]

Derry City will be operating at 50% of the budget used last year.

The steering comittee are basing this in a fall of attendances of 1,300 average for the season.

With games against Harps and Shels I would say that is a very realistic figure and should even be well above that if Derry are competing at the top of the league.

I havn't checked but would that be well above the average for the 1st div since Rvrs were in it?

probably double the avrg attendance and atleast 5 times bigger than ours

Half of last years budget? So if you get into the first division you should walk it.

[Kildareman]

Is that 50% of the 'official' budget or is it 50% of the actual budget?.......

Does anyone know what the budget was this year?

If our budget was £Stupid this year, and it's now half £Stupid, that could well leave it at £Silly.

[Acornvilla]

Does anyone know what the budget was this year?

100 million billion trillion euro?

[pineapple stu]

So the crowds halve and the budget halves? Given the losses they had last year - and I know gates aren't even the majority of budgets - does that not sound a bit ambitious?

if succesfull they could well have 2.000 and above at games next year thou so seems reasonable
