Justify a 400k salary

After watching the news on Saturday evening i was shocked to see that John Delaney is receving a salary of 400k per annum . Enda Kenny is on 230k per annum. What makes John Delaney so fantastic that he deserves it ?, he also stated that he took quite a substantial voluntary 50k drop in salary, Wow, how will he survice.......Madness

Not everyone earns the same amount of money and it's not based on some empirical universal theory of value of the work they do. Deal with it.

presume that's the lad from the FAI? that's ****in madness if it is, no matter how good he is (and he's not!), the Football Association of Ireland hardly merit handing out that much money. 100k would be more realistic, spend the rest on getting kids off their fat asses and into sports.

There's no such thing as being "worth a salary" because there's no universal theory of the empirical value of work. Justify your own specific salary versus your neighbour's and you'll find exactly the same. Magnitude is irrelevant.

Afterwards, though, Delaney was placed on the defensive about his considerable pay packet even though he has taken a voluntary pay-cut of €50,000 over the past two years -- a drop of €17,500 in 2010 and another €32,500 this year.

He said that the other members of the FAI Board of Management were against a reduction in his salary.

"I'm not going to speak of the reasons," said Delaney, when it was put to him that he earns twice as much as the Taoiseach. "The board believes it's justifiable. I work very hard and deliver for the association to the best of my abilities. They (the board) didn't want to reduce my salary, which is something I voluntarily did last year and this year.

"It went from €450,000 to €431,000 and it will be around €400,000 now after the latest reduction," continued Delaney, who refused to disclose what portion of the figure relates to

Ah right. Hey cheer up John, recession won't last forever.
Good to see Mr Delaney is happy with his €400k salary. The FAI are like €50m in the red right? & he gets twice as much as the Taoiseach.

Arse.
