Sorry, I forgot he ran an EPL club! Wonderful appointment in that case.

You only have to listen to him to realise he is very intelligent. A spoofer would be someone of limited ability trying to pass himself off as a genius.

whatever anyone thinks he’s a MASSIVE upgrade. As everyone mentioned, he’s a smart guy, very amicable - this is politics after all. 

But most important of all for me - his heart is in it and he genuinely wants what’s best for Irish football. Not a crooked, self-obsessed, slimy C U next Tuesday.

He has administrative experience at the very highest level of professional in Europe. Not to many Irishmen around that have that

It is a very odd one alright! The man to save the LOI seems to have little knowledge of it, or even of similar. 

These two things may be, but where we're at now, a well-intentioned spoofer would be an incredible upgrade on what we had previously.

So his intentions mightn’t be as clean as once thought

And also why do we need a permanent Deputy CEO but an interim CEO?

As a opposed to the self serving spoofers we've had before. It's surely an upgrade. Wish them well.

I’m not dead set against him, just a lot of this doesn’t really sit well. Of course I wish him well for the good of Irish football but it just raises a lot of questions for me.

Delaney didn't set the bar very high here. Quinn can only be an improvement

Quinn said he has deferred his payment until they see how redundancies are sorted out.

Would cautiously welcome his appointment, he could hardly be as bad as what preceded him even if he tried. Ya, serious questions over what the exact intentions around the LOI are, I suppose he'll be given the time to answer those and we can judge then. 

On the plus side, he's probably an acceptable public face as regards dealing with politicians, sponsors, corporate types etc, as well as the UEFA/FIFA big wigs, some of whom are ex-players themselves. Seeing as we will likely be in debt to UEFA, the Government, and corporate banking types for a good while to come, this might not be a bad thing.

Quinn: Has worked in football administration, and has business experience outside of football.
Roy Keane called him Mother Teresa. Terrible appointment.

The logic of some people is so bad it's comical.

Who mentioned Roy? 

Is it not right to question an appointment to a never before existing position to a man on the payroll of a company rolling out international football academies? 


Alternatively the logic JD was bad so Quinn will be good is so bad it’s comical.
