Any news on what went down today???

I'll should get info over the weekend, haven't asked any of them yet.

Indo reporting that all but one member of the sacked board will be seeking re election.

If the FAI play hard ball on the Noel Rooney appointment all state funding should be withheld.

When you think the FAI have reached rock bottom, they still manage to dig themselves in even more.

It's as if they still don't realise that Sport Ireland has suspended funding, and that won't start again while the FAI remain truculent. They've alienated the Minister, the Taoiseach, the media, everyone. And here's the crucial thing, the appetite now is to keep the funds away from them until they toe the line. They have no leverage. They are a busted flush...they just don't seem to know it.

They are delusional. Id say they are biding their time using it to flush their wrong doings away so they wont get hooked after they go.

The FAI is just a parody of itself at this point.

Yes, we were hacked. Nothing suspicious going on here whatsoever........

Quick to get something forensic done...

Maybe a hack in FAI terms is someone once in a while turning a computer on at HQ.

Exactly what came into my mind. Will either result in:

1. Documents disappearing or investigations being hindered.
2. The press getting documents that will hang each and every board and committee member out to dry.

My tip is option 1

These "Hacks" are 9 times out of 10 an inside job (They forgot to change that Password :pac: ). Especially if Credit Cars etc.... aren't exposed. Question is who will benefit the most when sensitive documents disappear from internal servers during an external audit.

Id also go with number 1.

Arghus · 06-06-2019 12:24PM

I think it's odds on that many sensitive documents and e-mails will now conviently dissappear just before people will be requesting access to them.

Yep and if that's the case the Garda Fruad Squad should be called in along with a ramping up of whatever other investigations are ongoing.

D14Rugby · 06-06-2019 03:25PM

What sort of hacker hacks into an organisation being investigated and all they do is potentially delete some emails? The only answer is someone from that organisation, either currently or in the past, trying to hide something.

Supposedly the only thing that has been lost in the "hack" is historical e-mails.

What a surprise.

God, they really are a truly rotten organisation.

since it sounds like they are using on prem exchange im sure they still have backups of that system unless they mysteriously get lost as well :pac:

Irishmale0399 · 06-06-2019 09:42PM

Its all a setup by Sport Ireland, the press and the government to make JD and the board look bad lads. Sure they never done a thing wrong and no wrong doing will ever be proven.....(what I have just been told by one of JDs merry men)

Of course he is still being paid his wages. He is on gardening leave and general practice is that you get paid. The big question here is....

Did he sign his new contract before his gardening leave begin??? If so why is he still on 360k...

yabadabado · 14-06-2019 05:22PM

He was supposed to be taking on the new role with immediate effect and he was put on gardening leave 3 weeks later.
He's probably on more money than ever now as I doubt he gives the UEFA cash to the FAI anymore....

The big question is and remains....did he sign the contract. Do the FAI have his resignation in writing and did he sign the new one.

If yes....why is he being paid the CEO salary. If not...why not??

He must be taking home 500K plus at the moment with the FAI and UEFA gigs.

Only highlights that the FAI needs to be disbanded, investigated and reformed with independant/non Irish football people.

Umaro · 16-06-2019 05:02PM

This stuff is unreal. I bet he still views this as a minor hiccup before he's back in the driving seat.

Irishmale0399 · 16-06-2019 07:22PM

They are dragging it out hoping the problem will go away and in the mean time they are covering each others backsides. I am sure there has been some amount of data disappearing over the last 8-12 weeks.

You can bet the first thing he did was get the legalities sorted and a contract signed. I dont think even Delaney would know that he was better off not signing a new contract so he'd be out on leave on 3 or 4 times the salary that his former job payed. There is still a lot of messing going on.

This too https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2019/0619/1056391-john-earley-fai/
at face value its hard to know that 'the issue of governance' with the individual was resistance to change rather than change not happening!

If no feckin around is going on then JD would not be getting paid his 300K+ salary. He would be on the 120k he said he was getting for the new job.

He was/is being well schooled and that before any of this broke I would say. This is a man who showed up to the government meeting to say nothing with his lawyer behind him. My bet is he never signed the new contract and as a result he has the FAI over a barrell.
