Jonathan Hill Gone as FAI CEO

I might be wrong, and it may be that the decision has already been made, and we’re just waiting an announcement, but I think this will almost certainly kick back the manager search, which in turn makes JOS continuing as interim a more likely prospect. If they actually do have their man and were gonna do a presser towards the end of this week surely this wouldn't impact it, like it's not as if they can say to the new manager keep your powder dry for another few months and we'll announce you after we get a new CEO. Or could they......... I take your point, and Wanderer’s. But if the emperor has no clothes, and the managerial search is not over they will need to try and negotiate with a departing CEO. I’m fundamentally working from a view that there is not somebody lined up. I’m hopeful I’m wrong, and even more hopeful that ‘somebody’ is a decent appointment.

The Oireachtas Sport Committee really mauled him over a very trivial matter.  Like a pack of hyenas feasting on a recent kill.  The Oireachtas Committee called JD to it in 2015.  Allegedly, he contacted them all and they left him off. If he was nabbed then, we wouldn't be in situation now. I contacted the CEO of Sport Ireland at the time who was to meet me and the reneged.  Whatever you might think of Hill, he was completely mauled when in actual fact, the Committee should have been discussing the 15 year plan.   

Has this anything to do with the managerial search being a sh*tshow also?

Bring back John Delaney, all is forgiven!  

To me, the timing suggests there is a link with the manager farce

Wasn't it reported that he didn't get pushed out at the last board meeting because they wanted to finalise the senior manager situation first?

Either they have or John O'Shea gets announced as interim for June and they focus on getting a new CEO.

Again " On Paper" the manager should have nothing to do with the CEO. The CEO should be i ncharge of the business and football much bigger than the senior managers job. This harks back to the CEO being the king maker wrt to the managers job and they are days none of us want to go back to
