Consortium expresses anger over failed attempt to rescue City

The consortium which failed in its bid to take over Cork City FC after the FAI last night refused to grant the club a Premier Division licence today said it was “angry and frustrated” by what had happened.

In a statement, the group consisting of Peter Gray, Michael O’Connell and supporters’ group FORAS (Friends of the Rebel Army Society), said: ”We would like to express our deep frustration and anger resulting from our failed attempt to rescue Cork City FC from being wound up in the high court today.”
