Gareth Farrelly (ex-senior international and LOI player and manager, now a lawyer) Niamh Brennan (UCD professor, accountant and expert in corporate governance) Brian Kerr If you wanted 3 independent directors, they are as good as any. These people would cost money though, I think all of current board is voluntary.

I think Eddie Jordan should be sounded out as CEO. Successful businessman, got his team to the top echelons of motor racing. Has the business contacts people seem to require. And Im usre hed know one or two in Uefa Hes always had a passion for football. Remember he had the 1-0 victory scoreline over italy emblazzened on the side of the car tow ind up ferrari

Again, I haven't a notion if Jordan is suitable or not, I would wager that none of us do, but I would still be in favour of someone unknown over someone well known. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Absolutely. Sure Sherrard is only a wet week CEO of the OCI. Anyone like Mooney or Sherratd could’ve and should’ve blown the whistle years ago but they didn’t and thus are complicit in the delay for this sh*t show being made public. I’m sure the Sell outs of 88 will be electioneering for Joe McGlue

On that basis, every single FAI staff member should be sacked because they didn't whistleblow either. No problem with any of the above being interviewed, if they're deemed good enough.

Valid point Joe. It seems Sherrard & Sarah O'Shea are doing very well in the OFI, despite their experiences of working for the FAI. I wouldn't be advocating that any of the current board who clung on so grimly to the bitter end have anything to do with a new FAI, but people who previously worked for the organisation & subsequently left should be considered, if they want to apply for a role & are deemed good enough candidates to be successful. I've worked in an organisation where one man, the business owner, was the dominant personality, and every single transaction or customer engagement had his input somewhere in the process. It's a difficult environment to operate in, and extremely suffocating. Your opinions as an individual might be considered sometimes, most other times they would be routinely ignored as worthless. I eventually left that organisation, but not as soon as I would have liked, mainly due to economic factors around these parts and lack of alternative job opportunities. It is very possible, even likely I would suggest, that former FAI staff have had similar experiences. They shouldn't be ruled out just because they were unable to change the culture of the organisation themselves, and I can say with some little authority that it simply isn't possible to do as a single individual, all you can really do in those circumstances is up sticks. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Wanted to share this interview here. For those who aren't aware, I am probably the world's expert on football in the Caribbean (and I don't say that to brag, it is, as my uncle might say, like being the world's tallest midget). Denis O'Brien's telecommunications company Digicel did more for Caribbean football between 2006-2010 than any corporate sponsor in history, and Kieran Foley was the driving force behind it. He was kind enough to speak with me for an hour earlier in the year, and I got a glimpse in to what drove the success of this partnership from the boardroom down to even tracking stats and writing match reports for their website. I sincerely hope the FAI would consider getting him involved along with Niall Quinn to help improve their so-called "problem child" of a league. https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/international-soccer/niall-quinnled-group-takes-steps-in-bid-to-take-irish-football-in-new-direction-38124004.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/international-soccer/niall-quinnled-group-takes-steps-in-bid-to-take-irish-football-in-new-direction-38124004.html There is one other person who might be interesting to get involved on the commercial side of things as well, former Shamrock Rovers defender Keith Lambert is, I believe, VP of Procurement at Nike these days, so surely could be a boon to the league as well.
