    Angry going down the leeds road

    Does anyone else think that city are heading down the same road as leeds,we have probably
    the highest wage bill in the country and it looks like dolan wants to increase that enen more if the rumours concerning
    Gamble,Barry-Murphy are true.ok so city signed a deal with Nissan for 750,000 i think,fenn,o callaghan and Flynn
    take up at least 150,000 of that each year on wages and its probaly more,can someone come on hear and explain where city
    are going to get this revenue to continue,lets not forget that as a club city have no assets a part from the players,we
    have no ground of our own,training groung of our own,offices of our own,yes
    we do have the biggest gates but a % of that has to go on rent and not to the club A/C,
    City i believe are paying out wages to 26 players and that does not includre the backroom staff,
    look for example fenn,o callaghan,flynn and dolan are on £50,000 a year(we all know that they are on much more)thats 200,000 on 4 people,so can anyone explain to me were city are getting this money?

    Sponsorship money from Guinness, red FM etc. sponsorship boards, programme sponsorship, Mick Wallace, city lotto, programme sales, merchandise plus Brian Lennox's deep pockets.

    So don't you worry your little head.
    I'm gonna take a blow torch to everyone who writes "any info on......." on the desks in the ucc library.

    Who's with me

    no. Brian Lennox is a football fan, but he's also a businessman. he's not stupid enough to put the club in danger. There's also the small matter of having accounts in order for the licensing.

    Don't worry we're not spending half as much as the jealous obsessed Pats/Rovers/Longford fans would have you believe.

    And sure we all know a quid streches longer in Cork.
    I beleive under the UEFA Licence it is a % of the total income of the club that can be spent on wages. you should stop listening to all the dubs. Lennox will just sell more chips if he has to.
    It's only just begun...............
    If the last 21 years were class, here's looking forward to the next 21 years. It is our time

    Talk about obsessed!

    Cork City FC has had the same name for its entire existence. CCFC have no affilaiation whatsoever to Cork Hibs/Celtic, Fordsons, Alberts or whoever.

    We are a young progressive club, and it seems to really wind up you pale folk.


    As for the fella who started this thread. Quit your bullshít willya. How much has Dolan spent on buying players? I await your answer on that. How much has he made selling? Not much, but alot more than he has 'spent'!

    still though. if we're to get in people like gamble and kenneth coleman etc... certain squad players who're over 21 and are getting an anyway decent wage will have to be let go. 26 players getting paid! if they're over 21 and unlikely to make the first team now there doesn't seem to be much point keeping them. a bit of trimming does seem necessary.

    so tell me gary,how much has dolan got back in transfer fees,a big fat zero,
    and on the players he brought in FENN is the best paid player in the league and he gave george a new contract last season and rumour has it its close to 1500 a week,no club in the league can afford those sort of wages and we have 3 people on the club taking home over close to 5000 a week,if city are'nt successful gates will drop,income will drop but the wages paid out will increase and lets not forget doyle and o flynn are going to be looking for new contracts soon and will obvisouly be looking for the same money as o callaghan,dolan and fenn,that makes 5 people on over 1000 a week which if my sums are right 260000 a year on 5 peoples wages,what sort of wage bill do city have,close to 450000 if not half a millon,if city don't win something i can see the club in big trouble and what happens if lennox and wallace walk out and dont think they wont

    Open to correction, but i think there was a fee involved with Conor O Grady to Derry.

    And you have this on good authority??? I dont think Fenns wages, like Georges are public knowledge.

    Over close to? is it over or close to? Make up you mind, or get your 'facts' straight.

    And City have been succesful so far? One league and one FAI cup hardly qualifies City as a successful club, yet we still get an average of 4500 per match.

    Blah blah blah blah. To me, it sounds like you want City to go bust.

    I think it was on this board previously that he gets 100 grand a year or something rediculous. Plus 10,000 signing on fee.

    What exactly are Lennox's business credentials besides a chip shop?

    I'm sure Leeds fans never thought it would happen to them a few years back.

    I'll you now that he is nowhere near the highest paid player in the league, he's not even the highest paid player at City ffs. That fact that we were able to offer him more than two small clubs like Pats and Waterford doesn't mean he's getting unbelievable money.

    As Gary said it sounds as if you want City to go bust! Are you sure you're not one of the obsessed posing as a City fan?

    I think if you look back through the threads, those figures were mostly being bandied about by supporters of other clubs who seem to think they know the financial details of City, or who were having yet another tedious lash at Dolan and maybe the Echo was guilty of some exageration as well.
    We all hear bits and pieces, but NONE of us know the real story. If anyone does, this is the last place they will post it.
    For what its worth, which is probably not much, I've been told by a few people that those figures are bullsh*t.
    I have to say that I don't really see the Leeds analogy, and I know very little about them, but weren't they paying guys £65,000 sterling a week?
    That has nothing in common with City.
