Arkagas Ability Under Scrutiny

[A face]

Have to wonder what the FAI accounts boyos have been doing especially in relation to the taxes...

Taxes? what taxes? ... when did this happen? Ahh yeah, sure ... yeah, its all in hand .... sorry you cant comment on this in official matchday programmes, what taxes? What problem?

[stann]

It was reported by the national public service broadcaster through their main football correspondent (a supposed Cork fan) on MNS last night. I don't think it's falsified.

That is a very generous description .... Mellor from Liverpool to City .... end of

Why confused SF, you said that you were willing to believe anything the RTE say? I explained why i wouldn't? Wheres the confusion?

Even from the outside looking in I can see why he's confused.
Noel Spillane was only on as a guest interviewee, don't know what he and Neil Mellor have got to do with anything here. Would have thought it was quite obvious that the chap superfrank was referring to, as RTE's main soccer correspondent, and Cork City fan, and indeed the chap who mentioned the 2.4M, is Tony O'Donoghue.

he got punished, the rest of us are dealing with it.

Earlier you said big clubs don't get punished...

Ok, picked that up wrong so but generally my point stands. If RTE use guys like Alan Hunter and Noel Spillane then their content should be questioned, and it should be questioned anyway. you shouldn't believe what any section of the media tell you straight away and assume it is true.

[stann]

Don't worry, I don't. Particularly with Alan Hunter!
Just trying to undo the confusion is all. Whether superfrank is willing to take TO'D's figure at face value is a matter for himself, though in fairness it seemingly is Arkaga's number, so it's to them the doubt should apply in this instance.

In the Indo today that the FAI have confirmed Arkaga have reneged on their agreement to pay all Cork's debts. The document obviously never had a shred of legality if Arkaga can get out of it so easily, and the FAI can let them.

I wonder who owns the players' contracts?

Figured that by what Fran Gavin said on MNS the other night when asked about this.
The only penalty,he said, will be that CCFC won't get a licence next year.

Jeez, Arkaga will be gutted

[pete]

We can't blame the FAI for our problems but I think licencing & the 65% wage thing have now been shown to be pretty much useless.

If Fran Gavin had not appeared on MNS we not have known for another while that the the written guarantee to pay debts was worthless.

Noel Spillane doesn't have a lot of credibility with City fans. He famously fell for a scam by former City player that Neil Mellor was to sign for City.

I think it is unfair to lump MNS in with the other dubious practices by RTE in relation to Hunter etc...
