John Delaney at the FAI Thread - (Mod Notes in OP)

He still needs to appear in front on that panel next week and answer all the questions.

This is starting to smell very fishy.

Still don't think this is the end of this. Rumours swirling that this is damage control before the Sunday papers land, which could really move things along

So the FAI and Delaney are hoping that by this little piece of acting they will appease all those looking at what happened and be happy and stop all investigations. I think I have found a conspiracy theory I agree with. I wonder those his new position come with some of his CEO role with it and that position more like a figurehead. No just been very cynical

Should be some sort of protest on Tuesday, flags will get taken away though...

Can't believe he's moved to a new role that's going to cost the FAI more money.

Why isn't he simply sacked?

It's hard to believe how incompetent and out of touch with reality the FAI is.

Does anyone actually have the power to sack him in the fai?

Does this get him out of any questions about the loan then?

I feel they are hoping so but I say Delaney has a few more gunning for him now for it to go

Aside from the "interim CEO" Rea Walsh there are some quality candidates immediately linked as Delaney's successor

Bertie Ahern
Denis O'Brien
David Drumm
Sean Fitzpatrick
Michael Fingleton
Willie McAteer
Michael Lowry
Angela Kerins
Ray Burke

I assume this new job is also exempt from the max 8 year term and we'll paid.
What a load of pony

Dread it. Run from it. Delaney still survives.

Where’s that lad who was defending Delaney to the bitter end gone?

He is looking for a new job within the FAI...:D:D

It's too late if you already are going to the game, it was actually too late when you decided to buy a ticket.

If you really want to protest stop going to games.
And spread the word.

You are giving your support to the FAI and all it's carry on by going to the game.

Yup...boycott would be ideal,but won't happen. Flags will be taken away.....

What would work?

- mass arriving late?..No

- chant / boo at a given time? ...maybe

- turn back to pitch at given time?...unlikely

Full investigation needed here definitely. Don't care what FIFA have to say about government interference because they are taking Irish football fans for fools and it can't go on. Change is needed.

I said this a while ago. Nothing will change from within. It will take someone from outside (eg revenue, sport Council, a politician who wants to use it to raise a profile) to enable change. Sport Council should pull grants until there is proper, transparent corporate governance. Fvck FIFA, if they complain about interference, tell them get their houses in order. Supporters need to stop buying tickets too, talking about flags and this is BS.
The house needs to be burned down to be rebuilt. It won't happen from within, so it has to happen from outside.

Perhaps encourage fans who do go to games not to wear green, but red colours instead, as a symbol of how they're bleeding the game dry. Broadcasters would surely be forced to explain why on camera shots of the crowd so many fans aren't wearing the team's colours.

Saw another idea that fans should bring red cards into the stadium and wave them through the game.

I agree a boycott is the most powerful and effective strategy.

I don't expect anything to happen though. It will blow over eventualy like always and Delaney will probably return to his original post.
