Collins pulls no punches with blast at the past

WHILE the future of Cork City was being discussed elsewhere, manager Roddy Collins used the first major press conference of his tenure to take a swipe at the club’s past.

In his cross-hairs were former players who he accused of lacking loyalty to the stricken League of Ireland outfit.

The former Bohemians manager is confident he has the wherewithal to build a playing squad willing to play within the constraints of a €750 per week salary cap but lamented the loss of left-back Danny Murphy who yesterday finalised his switch to Shamrock Rovers.
