More dirt about poor John.

With the book coming out in September, I'd say every Sunday between now and then will have another revelation.

How does he get to decide what falls under legal privilege?

Would it not be the case that the prosecution sift through the evidence, pick out what they want and then JD and his lawyers try to claim legal privilege?

I can just see JD waving his hand over a whole bunch of files and mumbling 'legal privilege' before then tying up the courts with more legal wrangling while the prosecution try to get hold of them. I don't understand how that can be allowed.

Maybe this has been answered somewhere but i'd have thought the same. Documents including digital records were seized were they not? So wouldnt the ODCE know what is contained but that whatever is under legal privilage is inadmissable. Surely the seized files were not sitting with the ODCE under lock and key when there is info that would indicate the messing that was going on. If he under declared earnings in family court is there a type of perjury issue. His former wife and family could pursue that also if they were angered enough by the deceipt and sunsequently relevant documents relating to that become admissable?

Was there any fraudulant activity that could end up with Garda investigation or was ass covered by inflating expense accounts for example, surely then there would be potential issues on tax declarations on BIK?

Will Walshe face any sanction from the Law Society. If she blatantly ignored governance guidelines how is her position within the FAI tenable. JD must have had some serious control over her for her to take the risks for a couple of grand. Conflict of interest creeps in to things if she was acting as a personal solicitor and FAI solicitor - where does legal privilage stop and start in relation to personal or FAI legal advice.

The book will be interesting, i've no doubts that there will be more detail on how internal FAI info was leaked, maybe not whom though. Details on the payment proposal of Europen prizemoney to club(s)!? Im sure with the rep of JD that all legal angles are covered.

Things fell apart for Delaney and with his arrogance he probably still cant accept that his legal bluff was called. He fled like the spineless bully but I still want to see him have to actually answer for at least some of his actions and not hide behind a prepped statement. Gross misconduct has to evident somewhere that could void pension payoff?

Mostly questions if anyone has a grasp on the legals of these things??

Things were always going to fall apart.

A man way out of his depth, completely inept at his job.

All a matter of just milking it for as long as he could.

The endless collection of bootlickers he accumulated certainly helped him hang in there.

Good ol' Noel Kennedy from the Sligo-Leitrim league still has his nose firmly lodged in his rectum.

Can anyone link the full article? Would like to read that.

I'd love to get a read of it myself.

I worked for an organisation in London that allowed us take rent from our gross income, pay the landlord and then we were taxed on the remainder. The Inland Revenue put a stop to the practice in due course as it was basically a tax dodge. We know the FAI paid JD's rent directly but I wonder if such a method was used also as a double score for the unprofessional accountant?

think this thread title should be re-titled to John Delaney and his enablers. (the other directors and staff of the FAI, who enabled him)

Split views on FAI strategy set the tone for vital week (Indo)

It seems that the former Irish international is set to stay on beyond his initial six-month term.

"I'm not contracted but I will be around for the near future in terms of what's required"

"I'm unelected and the temporary contract that my buddy created for me has expired."

"I'll leave once we've removed the council members who like to hang around too long, like myself, and we've pushed through our version of reforms to commercialise Irish football."

After reading the article above I'm more confused than ever.

What exactly is the situation atm.

Redstrike would come under the heading of "Commercialise Irish Football" on Quinn's to-do list.

Their ideology is apparent: https://redstrike.com/

Niall Quinn has spoken about the latest saga.
