Consortium claims financial gift was made to secure Beattie signing but Cork City deny any involvement
The SSE Airtricity League First Division club say it had no involvement in the donation, however.
In a statement released this morning, ex-board member and City supporter Damien Sreenan revealed he initially began an online fundraising campaign to assist in the deal as he was aware of the club’s financial constraints.
A group including former City general manager Paul Wycherley then got involved in the initiative, which is believed to have helped Beattie gain part-time employment outside football.
‘The club was hoping to sign Steven Beattie, and in discussions with Steven, I became aware that he was excited about the prospect,” Sreenan said.
