Brian Lenihan - Cork City

[phoenix]

I know it doesn't necessarily prove anything but it appears that one of his Twitter mates is a certain Pardew- head butting Irishman called David Meyler- currently plying his trade at ...Hull

Yes he is probably saying. I Wish I had the chance to join Brighton like you!

The gate at Cork was barely over two thousand - how is he going to cope with gates well obver ten times as much?!

Cork fans still think it's Brighton....
Score 2 - 2

If he can agree personal terms and we don't get gazzumped by Bournemouth.

They have just tweeted saying they have accepted another bid?

Like I said earlier in this thread, they were trying to start a bidding war. Looks like they have succeeded.

Well, that's the end of that.

200,000 EUR really isn't that much for someone who could be in our first team in a few years time for many years.

O'well It was fun while It lasted. Time to move on. Still got a week to get someone else In.

how does this work, is it like ebay? when does the auction come to an end ? 23.59 on the 31st ?

 

[pishhead]

Let's hope that John Morling has been able to sell him the club as I gather he has worked with him in the past. Don't be surprised to see us pick up a few young Irish lads much like Reading have previously done.

We haven't got the financial clout to compete with any rival bidder, so lets look elsewhere if we want a promising right back.

 

[jamie the seagull]

"The problem Cork City face is the same as the rest of the top clubs in the League of Ireland at the moment.
They cannot afford to pay players during the off-season. Thus contracts conclude at the end of every season.
So Lenihan’s contract would have expired in October and he could have left for nothing."

[samtheseagull]

It's us or Hull then, his choice now

 

[Hyperion]

Well. I doubt we'll get him now. Move on. He's a prospect, nothing more at this stage. Disappointing but in no way season changing I wouldn't have thought.

Bjork OUT

F**king Bournemouth syndrome.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Oh well, what a surprise. Still, I suppose right back wasn't one of our main priorities. Rather he goes to the Premiership if we're going to miss out than another Championship club.

We've got £15m saved up.
