Would be great for the media to be able to refer to him as 'Doctor Blood'.....
And ironic, given the plethora of leeches at Merrion Square...
I never even heard of Mr. Blood before posted here.
Now when you stand back a think about that .... you'll begin to realise it is completely FUBAR ......only in the eircom League !!Originally Posted by pete

He took over from Milo Corcoran at the end of his term in office. 'Twas only a couple of months ago.Originally Posted by pete
And where did Milo go? back to Heineken?
Wasn't Heineken still paying him a salary, or FAI reimburssing Heineken or somethiong odd like that?
Yeah, I think I remember there was something dodgy about that alright. Think it involved the FAI wasting money rather then Heineken.
Betcha Heineken could run a p1ss-up in a brewery.
Revenge for 2002

I was in a bar one morning (at about 11am- at The Clonea Strand Hotel or something like that in Waterford) and ordered a bottle of Heineken. Milo Corcoran was in the bar too and came over and paid for it, saying anyone who drank Heineken that hour of the day deserved it for free
was the United Churches League Deligate to the FAIlure. Must be a Dub so. Presumably a ManUre fan or something. When I say there is nothing on the old world wide web about this man, I mean it.Originally Posted by A face
In all his time at the reigns, there has been one press release .... that seems very very strange to me to be honest.Originally Posted by Roverstillidie

Well he's not an Eircom League head, but then again the Prsidents position is no longer that important, the CEO is the main man now.
Might be no harm to have a low profile Paddy Hillery style safe pair of hands, rather than a publicity junkie.
However, given his background, lets hope an EL side don't draw a Premiership in Europe
Why not line him up for a foot.ie q&a?
There's a queue. We're still waiting for Bob Breen to finish off his answers.Originally Posted by Passive
For which the first question would be "Who are ya? Who are ya?"

I have a feeling we'll be waiting .... and that would have been an interesting one aswell. Haven't been succesful in getting anyone that actually works with the FAI to do a Q&A .... that is saying something. Above board and transparent you say !?!!Originally Posted by Bald Student
