European Clubs meeting in Dublin today

[thejollyrodger]

There was something on RTE sport today about all the representatives of the European leagues meeting in Dublin today. They signed up for some constitution or something like that.

The Eircom League just joined this year but every league has the same voting rights.

Does anyone know more information about it ?

EIRCOM LEAGUE chairman Declan Ó Luanaigh made a rare public speaking appearance in Dublin yesterday as host of the European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL).

The 15-country organisation finalised their constitution yesterday and O'Luanaigh outlined how much the Eircom League could learn from the rest of Europe's big leagues.

"We can learn a lot from how these people do their business," said Ó Luanaigh. "Since joining in 2004, we have already discovered the benefits of being part of such an illustrious body."

EPFL chairman Dave Richards outlined the value that the EPFL offers to the game. "We are operating somewhat below the level of the G14, the continent's most powerful European clubs," admitted Richards.

"But ultimately, they only look after themselves, whereas we have the interests of every club in all our member countries at heart."

Meanwhile, a number of fans of different eircom league clubs have met to discuss ways in which to support Fran Rooney as FAI chief executive.

Rooney faces a crucial board meeting tomorrow which is likely to instigate an investigation into his performance since his appointment 16 months ago.
