Both those deals are complete.

SRFC have completed the signings of Mark O'Brien (loan), Vinny Perth, Andy Doolin and Anto Flood (loan).

Andy Doolin?! Any relation?

**Mental Man** · 03/07/2006, 12:56 PM

Word around suirside this morning is that Alan Reynolds is returning back to the blues and also Jamie Harris is coming with him !!!
The club has also signed 4 new players, 1 argentinian striker, 2 czech midfielders and 1 Ghanain, heard they were very impressive in training yesterday !! No Joke, looks like kerley will be staying too

**Poor Student** · 03/07/2006, 12:59 PM

Where'd the money come from for that, Mental?

Reynolds is playing regularly for us. And Harris has just come back from injury. We're going to challenge for the league andI mean no offence by this, but why would they want to go to a team that will clearly struggle all season?

At the moment we kinda innocent until proven guilty. If CCFC fails to pay the bill and company wound up THEN there may be issues with signing new players but think that would be the least of our worries then.

Reynolds you can have and I wouldn�t be surprised if he went as he has managed you in the past and is well down the list of midfielders at shels. He has played recently but Moore Stuey Crawford Ndo and Greg would be ahead of him when they are fit.

Harris must be unhappy he is out of the team when he is better then some of the players in the first 11 but with all due respect to Waterford I think Harris could easily find a club higher up the league table.

Given the history of loan deals in recent seasons between Waterford and Shels I could see him going on loan as he has been injured for a good while and as your at a different end of the table to us it would only help us if he was part of a team that took points from the other clubs while he sits it out for our games.

When we are knocked out of europe I can see one or two players going in some direction.

The revenue have obviously decided that Cork City are not tax compliant.

That is why they have issued you with a winding up order.

If you were tax compliant do you think they would do that

Who would they sign for if you were wound up.

**Peadar** · 03/07/2006, 2:56 PM

Drogs had better sign some player quick before their tax details are made public.

**green-blood** · 03/07/2006, 2:57 PM

Drogheda didnt have an embargo put in place until tehy paid their taxes, they had an embargo put in place until they reinstated the company and directors who had run up the bill and who held the league membership. Going bust setting up a new company and leaving the debts with the old company will not be tolerated any longer. And rightly so - witness Rovers examinership.

Corks winding up order is the Revenue twiting arms to get their cash, which I'm sure they will. Point is they are now playing hardball, which should see clubs run properly. Which makes you wonder how long Drogs can continue to hoover up players and expand their wage bill and where in the name of God did waterford find moeny for 4 international signings, accomodation, wages, travel costs....

I'd say this will be a pretty quiet window with a lot of loan signings only

do you know something abouting the drogs tax affairs or are you simple being a wum??

**Dodge** · 03/07/2006, 3:06 PM

Jamie Harris was offered to Pats by Shels. (believe it LeixllipRed) We've made bray/Zayed an offer and it was accepted by both Bray and himself. More likely to go to Drogs though.

Just that you're next on the list of teams to feature in the headlines for tax reasons...

Which is why I'm glad to get this out in the open with regard to Cork City FC. It means we can go forward with a clean bill of health from the RC and hopefully stay tax compliant. We've all known for years that LoI clubs weren't being run like a professional business. At least now we can hopefully address that issue.

Please provide the source for this as was demanded when the Cork story broke last Friday night.

Or are we likely to see the Cork old boys network swing into action again, with one set of rules COrk and one for the rest of us.
