FAI Still leaking like a sieve

just a day after Delaney says that everything will be kept behind closed doors as it should be and there is an Anon FAI Source qouted in the sun. The FAI and its Chief Exec. are an absolute joke who in their right mind would work for them after their treatment of the last 2 managers.

And of course in this case the Sun are telling the truth as opposed to most of their other stories which they just make up. :confused:

McCarthy resigned with the boos of some (not all) of the fans in his ears after the game against the Swiss at Lansdowne. I don't believe he was pushed but I don't think the FAI stood in his way either.

Kerr's contract had expired after the game against the Swiss and was no longer an employee of the FAI.

So where is the bad treatment ?

Do you work for the FAI? It seems like any time there's any criticism of anyone involved in Merrion Square, you're on here defending them.

In fairness to The Sun, at least they are a professionally run organisation that does exactly what it's supposed to (even if you don't like it) The FAI on the other hand...............

Yeah whats the problem, if Kerr was still in charge I for one would not be going to any friendlies in the spring... Nice man but not up to it, so why blame the FAI for not extending his contract...

I don't blame the FAI for not extending his contract. I do blame them for the way it was handled and the constant leaks since the Israel game.

The FAI made the right decision in not offering a new contract to Kerr. And all the Polls, Late, Late shows and livelines in the world won't be bringing him back.

:eek: Wouldn't mind if I did. No, blind attacks without a basis on "the FAI" because it is "the FAI" annoy me. God knows, it's not the greatest organisation in the world but there is no such thing as such as "the FAI". It is made up for the most part of people who have given their life to football in this country at all levels. There are very few "suits" there but it is always portrayed as made up of people who don't care about football which I think is untrue.

I would just love those who attack it to actually make positive suggestions as to what should be done by the FAI, with the resources which are available to it, living as we do in the shadow of the GAA which dominates every parish in Ireland, which it is not currently doing.

I would imagine it's a very tough job trying to run soccer in this country. The IFA and Welsh FA certainly don't seem to have done any better. I believe I am a realist and think the woes of soccer in this country go well beyond the doors of Merrion Square. I read "Behind Closed Doors" and some of the infighting going on was appauling but I'm sure we've all worked in places where similar things go on but which aren't so much in the public eye.

The FAI has existed for decades with different people going in and out the door but the problems remain the same. It is self evident therefore that many of the problems must lie beyond Merrion Square.
