Doyle’s thoughts never far from Cork City’s troubles

KEVIN DOYLE’S focus right now may be Ireland’s opening World Cup game against Georgia in Mainz tomorrow but the former Cork City player’s thoughts have not been far from Turner’s Cross these past few weeks.

Doyle’s big move across the Irish Sea came on the back of an impressive run of form with the eircom League club and he has kept up to date with the worrying trend of events on Leeside.

Even at his distance, it hasn’t been comforting to hear about Arkaga’s withdrawal and former team-mates and staff agreeing to take a 70% pay cut in light of the financial crisis.
