Jesus what a bunch of *******s.
And it doesn't even make sense - if suggestions of a SIPTU strike will affect their ability to bring in/maintain sponsorship, what kind of effect will publicity around this decision have on sponsorship?

Car crash happening in slow motion. Are we witnessing a "Football Spring" in Ireland? Or a future case-study in a governance failure textbook?
No. Yes.Quote:

I can see Trap finishing soon (hopefully by mutual consent) when it becomes (or is made) abundantly clear to him, there is every chance his next monthly salary wont hit his bank account. JD will not take a 50% pay cut so will need to walk away, thinking he will save face and walk in to one of the many eagerly waiting headhunter offices to pick his next role.
Meanwhile a Brian Kerr type and A.N. Other CEO will try and pick up the pieces for a fraction of the remuneration.....
There is no chance Trap's salary won't reach his account (or any other FAI employee, low or high.). They have plenty of cash for now. They are restructuring because they can't afford this long-term, and like most companies the head honchos are sacrificing everybody else before taking a cut themselves.
Perhaps I was exagerating to make a point but I guess you knew that. I dont know what the cash reserves of the FAI are at the moment and JD seems to be at pains to avoid divulging any information on current finances, perhaps you could enlighten us?
I agree, they are restructuring (again) because they are up $hit creek and see no major income in the next 18 months at which point they pray that the tv money that has been promised comes through and when/if it does, it will go straight to paying off the capital on debt which has not been paid for 2 or 3 years at that point.
Perhaps Trap will just see it as something he doesnt want to be associated with. An organisation out of its depth.
Wasn't Delaney involved with a property company a while back? (Oceanico springs to mind?)
If so, wonder if he's a little bit laden with debt himself and genuinely needs the E400k per year? He wouldn't be the only one.
Perhaps he is just helping his old man recoup the 200k he got stung on his dodgy ticket deals back in the day.....

Is that below the belt? Perhaps a little........
It's scary to think what the outlook would be for the FAI if UEFA had not changed the TV money allocations. Indeed if they hadn't made Euro 2012 things would be considerably bleaker also.
Where has the rest of the posts gone??!Quote:

FWIW, you didn't miss a whole lot.:)
I saw those posts.
Yep yep
Sure did.
I understand why they were taken down and if people missed nothing that's their opinion.i got a yellow card.so ill stay low.some fellas on this have blinkers on and maybe lonely at home so they take their anger or annoyance out on others.keep the thread going.some truth might come out of it!Quote:

How a government that is a significant contributor to the FAI can stand by as individuals in the sporting organisation are paid salaries like Delaneys is mind boggling.
Since that well-thought and articulate post was most likely aimed at me, I've sent you a pm, out of respect for your clearly delicate sensibilities. I won't be posting anything else here in response to your 'information.'Quote:

If anything he should remain on it. Kill him with kindness.
Bonnie I would 'like' your page!anyway getting back to the main topic. JD. Are supporters going to put up with this for another term. I cant believe the Irish support to be fair. I used to go to a few games (when times were good, and they tried to play ball) but I couldn't justify paying for the train up and the overpriced ticket to watch muck. so I cant really voice my anger in the crowd. schoolboy structure needs to be the primary focus of the fai and not the huge wages our top brass is on. everything in this country has a similar ring to it. cuts in education and cuts in schoolboy football.
Brilliant management skills being shown by the FAI management. Aren't we so lucky to have them - bunch of to##ers!

This was coming and will get worse .jd is simply on too much for an organisation who are in serious debt.he should be getting between 120,000 to 100,000 and that's a great salary in any walk of life.again we Irish seem to accept this with the 'ah it will be grand' attitude.what id like to know is who wrote up this contract for him to sign?what were they thinking.they are in debt?they should be named probably something sweet in it for them and their club.delayed out.he is an accountant.Ireland meet max 6 times a year.a good business man could do it partime.Quote:

Interesting that the meeting with LRC has been adjourned until 27th August. Why indeed would any member of staff disputing the pay cuts sign and return the acceptance letter by 24th August?
From what I have read (and understand from other examples of this type of dispute) The LRC want an independent review of the FAI's finances to take place so that they can have a clearer understanding of whether the cuts are required and fair. JD seems to be at pains to keep the FAI's latest financials under lock and key apart from a few token headline numbers, so I expect this thing will drag out a bit longer unless some rationale can be applied to the proposed cuts.
The rust on the car seems to be nothing compared to how bad it is under the bonnet.Quote:

its the job of the press (and maybe the Minister of Sport) and what drives the press is public interest. As Mr. A suggests the clubs are too busy trying not to get fined by the FAI for nothing without inviting doom upon themselves...Quote:
