League of Ireland hero 'will never forgive' ex-manager
Glentoran's latest signing Pat Hoban has launched a scathing attack on Tiernan Lynch for the way his tenure at Derry City concluded. In a candid chat with the Derry Journal, Hoban, who recently made the move to The Oval, expressed his resentment towards the ex-Larne manager for "wasting six months" of his playing days. Initially brought to Brandywell by former manager Ruaidhri Higgins, Hoban saw his game time dwindle after Higgins' exit last season, feeling sidelined and "frozen out". The 33 year old forward alleged he was prevented from transferring to another "top League of Ireland club". However, with only two starts this term, Hoban was eventually allowed to depart and join Glentoran in an effort to revive his career. "Of course I was frustrated," Hoban admitted. "Even when I was on the bench I knew I wasn't coming on", reports Belfast Live. "It doesn't affect me and my personality or my character. In terms of my career at Derry it does. It ended because of that. "I didn't get a run of games and couldn't show anything to the Derry fans this year at all. He just wasted six months of my career and, to be honest, it's something I'll never forgive either." Hoban recounted a previous experience at Mansfield, saying: "It happened to me before at Mansfield when Steve Evans got the job. The January window came and he brought in who he wanted and I was left in the stand until May. I always said to myself I'll never let that happen to me again but it just happened with Derry." Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch (Image: ©INPHO/Morgan Tracey) The striker was rumoured to be on the move from Derry City, with Linfield, Glentoran's fierce rivals, reportedly keen on signing him. He revealed: "I was hearing stuff about clubs being in for me like Linfield and you're wondering, 'why are they in for me?' So I think they were trying to offload me at that stage. I firmly believe that but of course the club could say something different." Hoban shared how his situation changed under Lynch: "He (Lynch) then changed his tune and said 'you're not going anywhere. You will score 20 league goals for me' and that kind of stuff. He said I was part of it and we're trying to make Derry great again. To be honest I didn't believe it and I was right in the end." Now at Glentoran, Hoban is eager to start afresh with Declan Devine, expressing his enthusiasm for the game. "I need to play football. I've probably got a couple of years left in my career and it was just getting wasted to be honest," he admitted. Despite other offers, Hoban had clear preferences: "There was other interest from the League of Ireland but I didn't want to go down and fight a relegation battle with Cork. I'd never sign for Drogheda because that would be the one loyalty I would definitely always have for Dundalk. "Waterford were interested but I didn't want to go there. Obviously the big one for me was Galway but that fell through for a certain reason. It's disappointing but things happen for a reason and Glentoran came in and said they wanted me and did everything they possibly could to get me. And that's what players want. They just want to feel wanted. "I know Decky and when I met him and Paddy, they couldn't stress how much they wanted me. I was like, 'come on, let's do it.'". "It's a good squad. They'll be competitive when it comes to Linfield, Coleraine, Larne. I'm just excited to experience a different league and play through the winter. I'm just looking forward to playing again."

Blow for Derry City as last season's top scorer departs
Pat Hoban's spell at Derry City has come to an end with the striker signing for Glentoran on a two-year deal. 33-year-old Hoban was top scorer in the League of Ireland Premier Division last season with 14 goals as Derry City pushed Shelbourne all the way before finishing fourth after a late-season collapse. The veteran striker has fallen out of favour with manager Tiernan Lynch and has made just eight appearances for the Candystripes this term. "We were well aware of the strong interest from clubs across the League of Ireland, so to secure his signature is a major coup and a clear statement of where we want to go as a club," Glentoran manager Declan Devine said. "His goal-scoring record speaks for itself, but it is also the standards he sets, the experience he brings, and the hunger he still has to compete and win that make him such an important addition." Galway native Hoban has played for the likes of Bristol City and Oxford during his career. His most successful spell came with Dundalk United where he was a part of three Premier Division winning sides. He scored 150 goals for the Louth club, making him Dundalk's all-time top-scorer.

Hoban tightens grip on Hanjin KAL, reigniting talk of power struggle
Hanjin shares surge nearly 30% amid speculation of looming proxy fight Korean construction giant Hoban Group has raised its stake in Hanjin KAL, the holding company of Korean Air parent Hanjin Group, to over 18 percent, stoking speculation of a looming power struggle as it closes in on the largest shareholder bloc led by the group's chairman. In a regulatory filing on Monday, Hoban Construction, the group's construction arm, disclosed that its stake in Hanjin KAL had climbed to 18.46 percent from 17.44 percent. The additional shares were acquired over the past year through Hoban affiliates, complementing Hoban Construction's existing 11.5 percent stake. Hoban Hotel & Resort purchased 0.96 percent of Hanjin KAL, bringing its holding to 6.81 percent, while Hoban Co. lifted its stake to 0.15 percent. The increase puts Hoban just shy of the 20.13 percent held by Hanjin Group Chair and CEO Walter Cho and his allies, including his family members. Cho's individual stake amounts to 5.78 percent. Hoban became the airline group's second-largest shareholder in 2022 after acquiring a stake from private equity fund KCGI. In 2023, it added another 5.85 percent by purchasing shares from Korean top bulk carrier Pan Ocean. Despite Hoban's insistence that the acquisition is purely a financial investment, market insiders have taken note of signs pointing to a looming power play in aviation. 'Hanjin KAL may have friendly backing, but Hoban's expanding presence is hard to ignore,' said one industry official. In 2015, Hoban made an unsuccessful bid to acquire Kumho Industrial, then the parent company of Asiana Airlines, after taking a 5.16 percent stake the previous year. At the time, it dismissed takeover concerns, framing the move as a simple investment. A potential sign of discord surfaced at Hanjin KAL's shareholder meeting in March, when Hoban Construction voted against a proposal to raise the cap on directors' compensation from 9 billion won ($6.4 million) to 12 billion won. The company said it intends to speak up as a major shareholder to ensure that management decisions are made appropriately. With Hoban trailing closely behind, however, Chair Cho appears to have broader support. US-based Delta Air Lines holds 14.9 percent and plays a key role as Korean Air's joint venture partner. Earlier this month, the two carriers deepened their alliance by acquiring stakes in WestJet, Canada's second-largest airline. Korean Air took 10 percent, while Delta secured 15 percent. State-run Korea Development Bank, which owns 10.58 percent, is also seen as friendly to Cho's side, having backed Cho in the Korean Air-Asiana Airlines merger. In 2020, KDB purchased approximately 500 billion won worth of Hanjin KAL common shares through a third-party allotment and acquired 300 billion won in exchangeable bonds backed by Korean Air stock. The prospect of a power struggle jolted the market into swift motion. Shares of Hanjin KAL soared, hitting the daily upper limit for two consecutive days. The stock surged by 29.94 percent, reaching 150,600 won on Wednesday and extending a sharp rally from Tuesday's close of 115,900 won. Its preferred shares also reached the daily ceiling.

Sydney police officer charged with making false complaints against other cops
A Sydney police officer has been accused of making false domestic violence complaints against colleagues and misusing Crime Stoppers. Police seized several electronic devices from the home of 25-year-old Jemma Hoban, a serving NSW police officer with the South West Metropolitan Region, during a raid on her Campbelltown home on November 29 last year. Two months earlier, officers attached to the Professional Standards Command (PSC) had established Strike Force Potsdam to investigate reports of alleged false complaints made by Hoban. The PSC is a specialist command that is responsible for setting standards for performance, conduct and integrity within NSW Police. Following further investigations and forensic examinations of Hoban's devices, police served her a court attendance notice on Thursday. They charged her with knowingly providing false or misleading information regarding police conduct. Loading According to police sources not authorised to speak publicly, Hoban allegedly put in false complaints against fellow cops, including domestic violence allegations, and misused Crime Stoppers. Police said in a statement that Hoban's employment status is under review. Under the Police Act 1990, knowingly making a false complaint or giving false or misleading information during the investigation of a complaint is punishable by up to one year in jail.
