Outside of the senior football set up and Delaney himself how many FAI staff were on the kind of money that McCarthy and Robbie were on?
I don't get all this 'it's not McCarthy's fault that's the contract he signed' etc etc That was before the financial shambles came to light. The money Mick was/is getting means it's left short elsewhere. McCarthy should in my opinion forfeit his exit bonus or at the very least give a substantial amount of it back. The new FAI are broke and contracts were made with the old regime. Neither Mick or Robbie will be struggling for their next mortgage payment and both have done very well out of the FAI as it is.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

That's grand, I hope you apply the same moral stoicism to your own earnings when the inevitable black hole of recession hits our economy in the coming months. That'd be the real test of some of the faux outrage being spouted here.

I don't see how that's relevant.

The FAI are broke because of the FAI. Mick will be expecting the money, because that’s what was agreed. We don’t know anything about his own personal finances, regardless of how well he is paid. He could be putting himself in difficulty by refusing it, just to keep a mismanaged business afloat? It is absolutely idiotic to expect him not to take the money.

Well that's your first problem. Don't apply moral arguments to others if you can't apply them to yourself.

anyone claiming that McCarthy is entitled to his pay off , must also think they JD was entitled to his
It's the same behaviour lads And what I would do or someone else in that situation is irrelevant and not comparable as your talking about completely different salary scales. However I would struggle to take 1 million extra for doing f**k all from a sport in this country which I claimed to love McCarthy has done very well out of us. As has Mon/Roy and trap

That's a complete false equivalence and it's laugahble to call it the same behaviour.

Absolute false equivalency between Mick and JD. Laughable stuff

Is that a joke? Someone who at worst acted criminally, and at best recklessly and dishonestly in order to extract money from the association, is comparable to McCarthy? It's Delaney's FAULT that the FAI is in the state it is, that is why he wouldn't deserve a payoff. Mick has no responsibility for what happened, therefore there is no moral reason he should forego the payment due to him.

Wins: Gibraltar Georgia Gibraltar Bulgaria New Zealand. The easiest 50% win rate in our history. When Kenny struggles, the likes of Kilbane will be on the airwaves demanding McCarthy be reinstated again, to complete his "unfinished business".

No moral reason, aye, that's a good one alright. Struggling to think of many meself. Oh hold on, healthcare professionals struggling for PPE equipment while a life threatening deadly virus is going on. Half a million people out of work. People earning 'normal' wages facing into a long recession. People dying by the dozen each day. But all grand, in those circumstances, for the taxpayer to pick up the tab for Mick, to pay him for a years work he will never do, and was never going to do in the first place. 300k a game, putting him roughly on par (per game) with Klopp and Jose. As another corrupt individual once said to the nation ''We are living beyond our means''. And to pay off the multi-millionaire Robbie Keane, who according to the last Sunday Times rich list, is worth 43m, making him the 250th wealthiest individual in this country. I'd hold the 249 above him in equal contempt if they were trying to claim money off the government at this time too. What people are wilfully ignoring here is this isn't like Liverpool or Spurs, whose owners can well afford to pay their staff and shouldn't be relying on government funds. i think most people accept that, including as of this evening, well, Liverpool. The FAI is broke because of previous actions of an inept CEO, kept there for years by utter gobsh*tes willing to ignore his multitude of failings. That is true too. But now a combination of the fans, through consuming products of sponsors, and the taxpayer, are funding the FAI. And lads on here are trying to tell us that because Mick and Robbie have pieces of paper legally entitling them to massive payoffs, that makes it all OK ? Not for me it doesn't anyway. I'll ask this, say if this was a sponsorship deal gone wrong, like the Sports Direct/Ashley one, and the lads involved were one of say, the considerably wealthier Denis O'Brien, Larry Goodman or Mick O'Leary, and they were owed a million quid from the FAI. Would everyone be absolutely happy they if they took the (effectively government) money at this point in time (that bit is important) because they were legally entitled to it ?? ''Yeah , well Larry is down to his last 14 billion lads, he's well entitled to it'' I wonder alright. |

I won't even bother trying to put an argument up to that. It would get lost somewhere.

All things considered; when McCarthy sees the likes of Joe McGlue being paid handsomely by the taxpayer; a man absolutely complicit in JD’s reign of terror; I’m sure he can self justify it.
Let’s hope this starts a clean out of all crazy employment contracts in the Association. |

Saw you mention that in a previous post and, when you break it down like that, it's outrageous. I'd say he could hardly contain himself when he saw the terms of contract being offered to him while he was out of work. As for Robbie's contract, how someone with no coaching experience manages to bag themselves a well-paid, 4 year contract, is beyond me. As much as Robbie and Mick are Irish footballing heroes and have represented us proudly, it would take a very special character to turn down the money being offered. This is just a sad reality.

Someone posted Marina Hyde’s article from the weekend on here the other day, in it she made the point how it was bizarre that football players wages and importance are always compared to nurses and the like. No matter how much I dislike the money in the modern game it’s hard not to agree with her. I think to start bringing in government mismanagement into it is a tad unnecessary. It’s an easy argument without much basis in fact, it’s little more than a false equivalence, but it is one that easily wins people over. Whatever about Robbie’s personal affairs, he certainly seems to have been well managed in that regard, most of us are, I assume, unaware of Mick’s. I’m not for a second suggesting that he was going to end up down the local hostel or shelter, nor am I advocating huge sympathy for a man who should have made a good living, merely that if he has made mistakes that they shouldn’t be compounded because of John Delaney. He might be reliant on the money to fund a lifestyle or a wife, or to keep Linda Martin quiet and he shouldn’t have to divulge them because of Delaney’s mistakes. Sure, it would be a fantastic gesture, but why are people always expected to treat mismanaged football clubs, or in this unusual case, an association, differently to other mismanaged businesses? There’s strong arguments, on both sides, as to whether tax money should be propping it up anyway. And if it was some tax dodger like O’Brien, or any of the other crooks mentioned, it would barely be news and they wouldn’t receive much scrutiny over it. It would fall into the ‘dog bites man’ category, but because Mick has been a good, and now well payed, servant to Irish football he is supposed to act against his own better interest just to show how much he cares. I think it is perfectly reasonable for him to take the money and to express interest in Irish football. I can’t think of anybody else that would do it, but he seems to have been hoisted on a pedestal for being a decent fella.

Robbie never struck me as a fella who understood how luck it is. I don’t like bandying the footballer stereotype about, I think it is often grossly unfair, but he seems very much in that mould. I wouldn’t say self-awareness is high on his list of qualities.
