Yup, the idea of a fan owned club is great, until "being a fan" trumps "having a bit of cop on and business nous" in electing board members. Few of them, while they 100% had the hearts in the right place, were treating the club like a lemonade stall unfortunately.
Cork City have always had a large number of oddballs in their sport, as an oddball myself I could spot them a mile off. When the club died and the phoenix club was formed they were reasonably well run with some very knowledgeable people. As so often happens though, the lunatics began taking over the asylum.
To be fair I don't think is the case with the current board as it is clear to see the issues they inherited.
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

Current board is fairly solid. Some poor decisions were made by the precious board in terms of allowing wages to skyrocket and not banking enough cash when times were good. Sadly as is often the case in LOI we have little to show for 4/5 years of good money coming in.

I didn’t mean any board in general, more that there has gradually been more and more people getting a larger say that would not have been listened to anywhere else.

Not sure if you've picked me up wrong with what I said, so I just want to clarify that I've no issue with the current board, my issues are with those who are oblivious to what the board were left with and lay the blame solely at their feet.

Sorry yes I wasn’t that clear, I was agreeing with you.

seems like a bit of a shambles down there (again), massive losses, making settlements with revenue

And to think some of them langers had the cheek to be telling Dundalk fans to be preparing for the worst with our owners and to start getting a fans group in place for when it falls apart

I would still be of that opinion. Unfortunately being fan owned didn't prevent us from electing a few idiots. Current board are very solid though, settlement has been made with the revenue after some shocking accounting advice regarding vat payments, we're already heading back in the right direction.

How does a club get bad advice on vat payments? Who are they getting theor advice from? I don't get that one.

Clubs don't pay VAT on tickets, some genius accountant (I don't know the name) had thought that this was the same for merchandise. Apparently 3 other sport clubs clubs made this error too but from what I hear they were all golf clubs that might sell a handful of jumpers not a full blown professional sports club with a general manager and decent sized backroom staff. The outstanding VAT has been settled in full plus fees charged in relation to this cock-up. Full accounts will be available to members at the AGM when filed.

*as far as I'm aware this information is all public, if other city fans disagree DM me and I will delete

Don't know much about the lad, but he was in the First Division team of the year last year so can't be that bad. How come Bray fans wanted rid of one of the best players in the league? Fenn has worked with him previously at Longford too so hopefully know the lad has the right talent/attitude.

Mainly attitude related and him being a selfish player, never wanted to pass 

Would've kept him given the option myself but I would've been in the minority

Don't think it says much for Cork that they're going for lads like that, hardly pushing for the league type signings, hope he proves me wrong though
