I agree.
The old system was a recipe for minnowism and parochial in-fighting.
Having the FAI in control is better - so long as they have the balls to take decisions that need to be taken.

Personally, I think we're better off having the FAI in charge than returning it to the old system.The current format for the League of Ireland has seen the FAI undertake the running of the league for the last two - and future three - seasons. However, given the progress the FAI claim to have initiated in the league, Chief Executive John Delaney has spoke of how important this system has been to Irish football.
"I think when we took over the league, the whole thing was to get it into shape, because I felt the league was in a real difficult place a couple of years ago. My only regret was that we didn’t get in two years earlier again," said Delaney.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Yep, we're much better under the stewardship of the FAI. They are in a much better position to attract investment, sponsership and tv coverage contracts. They are fairly objective on what the league really needs which can only be a good thing for the development of the league.
I've never seen so much agreement on one thread on here for ages..most disconcerting.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
And in support of the FAI
Group hug anyone....?
In fairness, who else could run the League ?
I agree.........too

Yes, in a similarly back handed compliment type of way.
Doesn't licencing, which was supposed to bring control to the leagues finances, pre-date the FAI taking over? So they have been in effective control for longer on the financial side. They'd want to start growing a pair soon, as there is little evidence of them having any so far.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
This is boring.....
I disagree!!!
(I dont really though...)
This thread is freaking me out or have i accidently logged into another Foot.ie site which has just started today.I mean,come on,wheres the bitter in-fighting,the smart ar*e retorts,Pineapple Stu trying to stir it???????.Widespread agreement and compliments for the FAI have no place on this site,dont be so old fashioned.
