John Delaney

[outspoken]

I remember him being linked with the Irish Olympic Council presidency in the papers last year, that job would hardly pay 3x 340,000 would it?

I don't think it pays anything. Delaney would be in demand from other sports organisations though. I've said it all along, he's a snake but he's very good at getting people to dip their hands in their pockets. I'm certain if he headed a charity or something he could make seven figures.

Had to misfortune to fall upon SKY Sports 'piece' on our own living legend JD difficult to imagine a more cringeworthy bit of television than the Dr Gobbels rubbish spouted by Johnnie Boy.

The part that REALLY (and there were many contenders) annoyed me was his assertion that he is judged solely on how the International team do.

[Mr A]

Haven't watched it and don't intend to- but if he says he should only be judged on the national team then that's lunacy, but if he says he is judged on that then it's pretty much a statement of fact.

Great! So when we don't make it to Brazil and Trapp is shown the door, Delaney will then do the honorable thing and fall on his own sword

Yes, how many FAI CEO's have lost their job due to International teams (non)performance ? Only in the deluded ramblings of Delaneys head is he so inextricibly linked to the International team performances. Remmeber his lap of honour in Russia ?

"I like to think of myself as a bit of a character first, CEO second. I'm sure the folks here would agree with that."

[eelmonster]

"I like to think of myself as a bit of a character first, CEO second ..."

"Probably an entertainer third."

No, John, we all think you're a c*nt.

[nigel-harps1954]

Sure John Delaney has already turned down the higher paid FIFA job to stay with the FAI. He's a real hero our Saint John.

Make that chancer John and I'd certainly agree. Oh John Delaney, he used to be a w**ker ...... and he still is.

This is the sort of nonsense you'd expect in North Korean media.

That's PR and the Irish media!

[Straightstory]

'Charismatic'?????????

[Martinho II]

my only comment on him I want to say is like father like son!

[disgruntled]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

"Probably an entertainer third."

No, John, we all think you're a c*nt.

Brilliant, one of the best lines ever from 'The Office'

'I want you to see me as a friend first, a boss second, probably an entertainer 3rd'

Was also watching reeling in the years 1999 the other night, another classic, P Flynn 'it's a well paid job' (try it some time, etc.......................JD)

[Bosco]

Was fairly hungover this morning in Spar and saw his mug beaming from the front page of one of the tabloids.....had to look it up there to see if it was actually a story or whether I had just imagined it..
