Easy for them to say that after, wouldn’t believe it tbh.

He obviously had loads of flunkies and people on the gravy train, but there had to be some who genuinely didn't like him and who thought he was an embarrassment.

Whiff of Henry Sellers in relation to his confrontation with McCaul after his antics in Poland.

McCaul bottled it. Why didnt he call Delaney's bluff?

I know its easy to be wise after the event but that should have been a red flag.

Perhaps I was a little harsh but I think they could have done more.

He did, perversely but I imagine the whole thing would have been imploded sooner or later anyway.

I don't know do people remember in the john the Baptist doc when he was talking about running the bakery and how he'd write checks for the future and wasn't sure if they'd clear. It seems like that was the deal with the fai when the Aviva stadium ticket deal went tits up.

Was that  the guy that hired him as an accountant and then realised that he wasn't qualified?

Or was that someone else?
