got a good one there lads!!
Apparantly this guy has approached our examiner with a view to investing. I'd say I'm right in thinking that this is the guy that the FAI wanted out of Limerick football.
What did he do exactly to p!ss off the FAI?
got a good one there lads!!
I read this and thought the post was going to tell me Cork were about to taken over by well known British shaper and all round **** Danny Dyer. I'm upset for three reasons. 1) I can't read properly 2) I was soooooo looking forward to seeing exposé the underculture of Corkie hoolies on Bravo and 3) the cockney/cork accent clash would have led to inevitably hillarious results

Not a chance the FAI will allow Danny anywhere near a LoI team as any sort of board member again. They were prepared to wipe out Limerick FC to get rid of him, they'll be prepared to wipe out Cork City as well.
It would be nice to have him as a foot.ie poster again though

He always denied it was him.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Drew bids to buy Cork City FC
Cork businessman Danny Drew has made a formal bid to buy Cork City FC, it has emerged.
The former owner of Limerick FC says that he will incur the existing debts in a bid to wrestle control of the club from Arkaga.
Drew is heading up a consortium that hopes to meet examiner Kieran McCarthy and accountant Neil Hughes later this week.
Drew has two UK-based partners, former shareholders in a Championship club, ready to come on board.
“Our plan would be to settle the debts say 30% of them up front to all creditors and pay the rest over a 10-year period.
“We are only interested in buying the club outright rather than pumping money in with Arkaga still in place,” he said.
One of the next streamlining issues to be handled by Cork City FC is the re-location of the club shop to a site nearer Turner’s Cross.
The existing premises on Grand Parade is costing the club €65,000 a year, but when you add on rates and insurance, the figure rises to €100,000 and that is not thought to be sustainable in the current climate.
Cork had a 20-year lease, but managed to reduce it to five and one source said that it is time for “common sense to prevail.”
Meanwhile, a place in the League Cup final is on offer when Cork City take on Wexford Youths at Turner’s Cross..
This will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides, and both go into the game having won over the weekend.
“This game offers us the chance to reach the final of a competition which was last won by the club ten years ago,” said City boss Alan Mathews.
“I am sure that Wexford will give us a tough test but we will not underestimate them and will give our all to reach the final.”
Striker John O’Flynn returned from injury as a substitute against Bray and with no other injuries to report, Mathews has a full-strength side to choose from this evening.
Mick Wallace’s Wexford have skipper Anthony Russell suspended and Kyle Dempsey, Stuart Lawlor and Shane Dempsey are all out injured.

Danny Le Rue probably has a better chance of a succesfull takeover bid.
a condition of dan the man's takeover,is, matthews must go.1.to save his wages2.because,danny is an experienced first division manager,which is where cork will be next year, if they let him anywhere near the place.
'We'll be competing with the likes of Shels in 3 years'.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
