Taken from another website ...

Delaney just on Radio one there interviewed by Pat Mc Auliffe at HOF last night.
Said he's going to sit down with TNB, etc. but when specifically asked if we could be relegated like Derry he basically said that we we're in the clear, players paid, etc. Said we've qualified for Europe finishing third in the League.

At this point CCFC don't seem to have broken any rules.

Licensing will be very interesting though, because with such struggles to pay wages the 65% rule must be an issue.

This will only become an issue if it is breached at the end of the season with all creditors,(i.e.players, revenue etc,) as there is no sanction for mid season. For what it is worth i believe(and honestly hope) Cork will be in the Premier next season as they have broken no rules so far. Whethet Coughlan is at the helm or not is a million dollar question.

With the greatest respect to JD we're sick to the teeth of hearing the FAI telling us licensing is an independent process, So if that's true, it's not actually his call to make.

Also, wages due again this week, so the claim that players are paid up to date could be incorrect come friday. While i'd love to see us hold the squad together and stat in the premier, I don't see how we could possibly be under 65% unless TNB writes off the directors loans.
