You have to ask yourself really how screwed they would have been if we didnt qualify for the Euros......... their Financial planning seems to gamble on us qualifying. Any orthodox finiancial planning would base forecasts on us not qualifying for a tournaments. This seems to be the nub of the problem. they did the exact same with vantage club, a scheme that was so out of touch with the average football fan that would make your really question the competence of the people at the helm.

Mind you, Cooney has not had to cover any bar tabs with Guinness as sponsors of the hurling championship.     Cooney is the GAA President, equivalent of Paddy McCaul. Padraig Duffy is the Director General, equivalent to Delaney. McCaul does not earn €200k   Keep looking.

GAA President is a full time role (as I understand it McCaul's is not). Also, the GAA President role is for a fixed term only without re-election. While there, the GAA pay your employer your salary and your employer continue to pay you. So, in the event you are earning €50,000 before election, you will earn €50,000 after election (plus of course expenses are paid). In Cooney's case, he was (and presumably is again) some manner of FAS executive paid in the region of €300,000 a year, so the GAA paid FAS that, and FAS continued to pay Cooney while he was President. For that reason, it's not a valid comparison.

Rovers - Knowing what we know of the FAI financial situation and  the current measures being taken to rectify it. Knowing (as Citizen rightly points out) that it would have been so much worse if it wasnt for the prize money received for qualifying for the EURO's (and then JD committing to a contract extension for Trap straight on the back of that effectively cashing out a big chunk of that prize money).

Give me an example of an organisation of the FAI's size with a CEO earning that sort of money?     I strongly suspect and have anecdotally heard that he earns less than the heads of the smaller GAA and IRFU. But on the basis they keep salary secret, we will never know.   According to the Sindo, the average CEO in Ireland earns €812,000.   The pay of CEO's in other Irish NGO's.   American Ireland Fund. €1,000,000 2006, Concern, €160,000 Enable Ireland €157,000 Irish Cancer Society €145,000 Irish Wheelchair Assosciation €142,000 Trocaire €142,000 COPE €130,000 Focus Ireland €125,000 SvDP €110,000       so if we cast off the AIF as an outlier then we can see he is vastly overpaid , or am i misreading here ?

We wanted an end to corruption, we got it, and that largely comes down to paying people enough that they aren't tempted to dip. Now we are complaining that we are paying market value. I think the narrative is quite strange.
