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. 
Jonathan O'Brien made the reference on twitter for starters.

I think Quinn is deferring any payments for now so not sure what the issue is there.

It's an interim role?

Its like Del Boy inventing job titles for Rodney.  You will be my director of commercial development.  and we will streamline the FAI by expansion.

I thought that sarah o shea was the first deputy CEO back in 2014.  She then was involved in reform of OFI along with Sarah Keane and I believe Peter Sherrard is now the ceo there

First thing I thought of when I heard about Quinn. Wouldn't surprise me if Quinn tries to get him on board especially given what his remit is
Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

Correct, it's not a new role.
This appointment, as mentioned, will appease Government and sponsors and that is absolutely key right now.
There is a lot of begrudgery out there and while time will tell if it's a success, it's certainly worth the risk.

Niall Quinn is involved in the Visionary Group, which is linked to Redstrike marketing agency who are involved with underage football around the globe.

Quinn will tell you he's doing this for his love of Irish football.

Maybe the world isn't so binary and he's doing it for the love of Irish football and for business reasons.

Mike Farnan is their main man.

I was sat in a hotel in Zagreb and he heard my Irish accent and approached me. He was in Zagreb promoting Vietnamese soccer Confused

Originally from Artane but has the Oirish accent going on. Nice guy.

Kerr was involved as well and everyone is clamouring for him to get back on board.

What real world options do those who have an issue with this believe are out there at the moment? Nobody wanted to touch this with a bargepole.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with it, I’m just not as delighted as everyone else seems to be with this appointment, and surprised so many on here don’t seem interested in what he’s been doing with Red Strike & the Visionary group he was involved with in 2018. 
The link I posted earlier to the visionary groups document is well worth a read.

I'm generally of a fan of Niall Quinn's and I think he might do OK, but I have to roll my eyes when I hear him say things like 'we need more women in executive positions in the FAI'...no, you need more competent people in executive positions at the FAI, regardless of whether or not they have a cock.  Get the best people in, fix the FAI, then you can worry about this progressive nonsense.

Will read more on this but everyone had business interests.
I would fall short of being delighted about this, but I do see it as a positive step.
