Governance of the FAI

The players are on equal pay. There's an arguement there that the managers should be too.

Should the underage managers be on the same pay too? If not, why not?

The modern world seems to have a Communist view of equality which has no basis in financial reality, or indeed fairness.

I maybe wouldn't mind as much if she had some track record of success to draw on from her time in charge. But, having signed a contract of her own free will, and subsequently failed miserably in the job itself, she's now looking for in the region of a million euro payoff for her 16 months of failure in the job.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the FAI ended up cutting a deal with her for a few grand to make it go away. Which is maybe what she's hoping for. But she'll have pretty much rendered herself about as hireable as Enoch Burke after this, if her performance in the job itself hadn't already ensured that.

Messi and an Irish woman international should be able to make the same amount of money, from playing professional soccer in there careers, regardless of how much money either generates for soccer ! ! !

Lefty economics in a nutshell !

The only comparable salaries to that of Gleeson, are those of Pauw and Carla Ward (Colin Healy’s wage could also be of some relevance). A discrimination case which points to the salary of Hallgrimsson as a comparator ought to fail as he’s not managing the women’s team, he’s managing the men’s team, an entirely different and distinct role (would Gleeson for example, have considered applying for the men’s job? not likely, given she would have been evidently unqualified to do it despite being the preferred candidate for the women’s job) The suggestion that there should be pay parity is patently ludicrous and should be resisted vigorously from whichever quarter it emanates. Additionally, to suggest that an already bankrupt organisation should bankroll such a farce, would add fiscal stupidity to illogical virtue-signalling.
