Just broken on RTE News by Tony O'Donoghue at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry. I am glad he got a massive pay off. They were stupid enough to give him the job for as long as they did. At least its over now, and time to move on to the next phase.

He said about a million. Its actually about 800, 000. It has not been announced but T O D is reckoning that is going to happen.
Without Delaney gone, it means nothing. Stan was a symptom of the problem, not the root cause.
Is it a defo or just TOD"S sources?
If his contract gets paid up in full, and it seems to be the case that it will be, then it will be a million, based on just over 2.5 years left on a contract of €400,000 per annum. Money isn't a big issue fro Stan. He's a very wealthy man independently. I'd say he just wants to vent his anger by screwing every penny out of them he can, and I don't blame him.
Only the FAI and Delaney could offer a 4 year deal to a pure rookie manager with zero experience. How Delaney has the balls to defend his mown position in all of this astounds me.
It's not official until it's announced in the press conference.
Confirmed to me independently, more to followQuote:

The momentum against Delaney needs to be maintained.Quote:

Sky Sport News now announcing his sacking but quoting RTE as the source
In a way I agree but it is also our money that he is making off with for doing nothing. I know he had a contract but it still leaves a foul taste.Quote:

I would say he has taken his place at the press conference is more like it.
He wasn't a happy camper earlier with the shenanigans from the FAI.Quote:

convening a meeting earlier on Tuesday. Staunton had appeared
before the body’s management.
There was no immediate confirmation from the FAI.
The former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender had come under
renewed pressure after last week’s 1-1 draw with Cyprus ended
Ireland’s hopes of qualifying for Euro 2008.
lol yeah had to laugh. he is on his way home cursing them :DQuote:

Kinda agree, he might have a legal right to the payoff but that is not necessarily a moral right. He has made a handsome amount from his two years in charge, it's not like he sacrificed managing Real Madrid to take the Irish job.Quote:

What did Brady say about the job this evening. Did he express an interest.
TuffPaddy should be renamed RoboTuffPaddy for his relentless pursuit of "poor auld Stan"
The morons are the ones who gave him the guaranteed deal that requires such a payout. They need to go next...Quote:

Jesus Paddy, he coudl not have done more to keep Jol in a job, not defending his Ireland form but his Spurs form has been top class. Not his fault they cannot defend.
Bless the Good Froday Agreement where our Belfast brethren decide our future, have we rejoined?Quote:

It may be the fans money, but the FAI are the ones who determine how it is spent and their decisions have required this payout to move on.Quote:

If you accept that premise, then blame must be focused on the FAI for not setting up conditions in which such a payout would be unnecessary by doing their contract appropriately up front. It's not like Stan had a lot of leverage after all ... what was he doing, coaching in League One? You could have written almost anything into that contract and the dude would have signed it to be manager of Ireland.
I'll be wishing Staunton many days of happiness with his new found wealth every time I think of the €70 spent on each game in Croke Park especially the Cyprus game.Quote:
