Petition to wind up: Cork City Investment FC Ltd

**razor** · 13/05/2009, 3:20 PM

Johnny Taxman wants us gone.

Is that the current crowd in charge? (Genuine question...)

Got this from the Derry forum

http://www.insolvencyjournal.ie/more...nt_FC_Ltd.aspx

Anyone have any info? What's brought this on?

Probably arkaga

No, that's the trading company. If it's real, it's the same thing that hit Shels a few times in 2006. But Cork also survived a petition in 2006 (Limerick FC didn't).

If it's real, it's not good news. Seems to confirm the problems with Coughlan.

Don't think so. This is from their site:

Turncoats!

Think that was highlighted at the time. Nice and amusing!

**Dodge** · 13/05/2009, 3:55 PM

Real, real shame.

Hopefully they'll pull through

**pineapple stu** · 13/05/2009, 3:58 PM

Agreed. But it seems there needs to be fundamental change at Cork or this'll happen again. I think in 2006, once the arrears were paid to Revenue, the petition was withdrawn. Cash has been a problem for Cork of late though, with the rumours of unpaid wages.

Lads, what are the possible outcomes with this petition?

According to Coughlan and co. wages not being paid at the right time have been the result of "clerical errors".

Doesn`t look optimistic , the Petitioner is the Collector General, though maybe in this climate the Revenue will settle for what they can get. It will still leave Cork in breach of licensing, with a point deduction?

Best of luck with contesting the petition.

Pay the money, you're grand. Don't pay it, they probably wind the company up, sell the assets and take the cash.

I see the notice before Cork City is Danninger, coincidentally. Which side of the Bohs debacle were they on again?

I would presume that the club is either wound up, or pays what it owes and is allowed to continue, whether that payment can be made on an instalment basis remains to be seen. I'd say the revenue are getting pretty ****ed of with the LoI at this stage, and obviously need the dough.

How can it all have been sorted with the taxman in Nov (examinship) and now only 7 months later they are after us again. Can they actually do that?

They are the ones funding Bohs at the moment, aren't they? Danninger bought the "full" stadium I think.

If they're not paid, and cork haven't kept to any agreements that may be in place, then yes they can do that

No they didn't - they negotiated an option to buy, subject to lots of things: he money they paid us was to secure that exclusive interest. (and they're not 'funding' us at the moment either)
