Dermot Usher on Cork City bid: 'There won’t be any fancy slideshows. I consider myself a football fan' 

On Sunday week, Dermot Usher will stand before a special general meeting of Cork City FORAS members requesting their approval to take full ownership of their club. He sees himself as a custodian of the club but is not looking to be the next Roman Abramovich.

PITCH: Dermot Usher hopes to take control of Cork City FC.

The Greatest Show on Earth is usually an ideal ice-breaker, especially when the introduction is football related.

“Who’s taken your fancy so far at the World Cup?” inquires your reporter by way of opening our meeting.
