Cork City’s Liam Buckley has denied the club were ballsy in trying to lure the manager of their relegation playoff rivals for the final furlong of the league campaign.

Drogheda United, who hold a six-point buffer over City, granted Kevin Doherty permission to discuss with owner Dermot Usher a prospective switch over the weekend but he opted to stay put.
