Would I be misrepresenting your views if I said that you believe that the former CEO was involved in nothing illegal? Are you still of this belief?

Is it misrepresenting a posters view, when I say that even in the past 2 days a poster was asking me where the proof of misappropriation of funds in the FAI is?

a lot has been written this weekend highlighting what a disgusting man Delaney is but this sums it up from Eamon Sweeney

Quote  I'm not a big fan of moral outrage. Yet it's hard to look at this story and not feel angry. An appalling man has done appalling damage.

What can you say about someone whose big worry, after all the damage he'd done, was to screw some more money out of the FAI although he knew people would lose their jobs because of him? 


At that stage he must have known he'd done a terrible job yet Delaney kept on looking for more money as the negotiations for his pay-off began. Millions of euro more. That gives us the measure of the man. He had to make the most of his last turn at the trough.

Good man Hans, still flat out not reading posts LOL

The notion that I haven't read posts on this thread, or haven't read up on the details of everything that has been going on, is simply nonsense. You and others here are of the opinion that the correct thing to do was pay off the man who has bankrupted the FAI to the tune of 650k since he's been on gardening leave.






I don’t have a problem with anyone disagreeing with me, I do however have a problem with people consistently spinning what has actually been posted. 
Nobody, and I repeat nobody has said they’re happy JD got a golden handshake. 


I have no problem with anyone disagreeing with me either. I do have a problem with the utter condescension in posts from those who believe the FAI were correct to pay John Delaney 650k in the past 6 months. Your previous post about myself not reading anything anyone says on this matter is proof of this, and there are numerous others like it from other posters. I have read every single post on here, I have read volumes of information on the FAI and John Delaney situation. I am in complete disagreement with the FAI giving him any money in the past 6 months. You and others believe this was the right course of action. I do not. There are plenty of Irish fans who agree with me and are disgusted that John Delaney was rewarded for his actions with a payoff.

Since he was paid off, audits have gone to the ODCE due to possible criminal activity, the new accounts show that the association is essentially bankrupt, accounts have been filed incorrectly (this is an illegal action on somebodys part most likely), tax had been underpaid to the revenue who are investigating, John Delaney's annual income from the FAI has been bumped up to closer to 1 million a year due to all of the expenses he claimed and that were that not filed correctly in the accounts. 

The logic most had behind paying John Delaney off was to remove him from the association, start afresh, move on and not have John Delaney possibly pursue the FAI in the courts for a payoff. With everything coming out now, and there's more to come in the next year no doubt about that, do people still believe this was the best course of action to take?

That's fair enough. For anyone to question me about misrepresenting views etc, and then come out with nothingness like this is a sight to behold.

You have misrepresented views on here. You have said that posters were happy with the pay out. That is not true.  So it's a fact you have misrepresented views.  

I have no evidence that to suggest  anything illegal happened so as a result it would be beyond careless to post anything to the contrary on a public forum esp when there is an ongoing investigation and we dont even know what or who is being investigated

What was the story with Fran Rooney as CEO and why was he forced out of the job after 18 months in 2004?

He seemed to be a very successful businessman and entrepreneur.

Utter nonsense. Are the filing of accounts incorrectly not illegal actions? Is the under declaration of tax due not an illegal action that results in penalties at a minimum? These have been proven to have happened. The FAI have said as much. Whoever exactly has their fingerprints all over these actions is a different question.

No. Unless it's proven in a court of law and you see me in handcuffs, it simply didn't happen.

LOL, crazy how he is allowed to turn every thread that he gets involved in into I’m right and the rest of the world is wrong with the same boring post rehashed dozens of time 
Just because it's tradition does not make it right

Sweeney not afraid to put his head above the parapet. There’s a saying that you can’t get blood from a stone, Delaney did. What a prick that man is!
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

You consistently misrepresent people's views on a variety of threads and in what appears a condescending manner. You then deny doing so and feign indignance which is totally bizarre, to be frank.

I haven't seen one post on here when anyone has said they're happy with JD getting a pay off yet you continuously peddle that line. 
In fact, everyone is rightly angered by it. 

However, most can see that there is most likely more to it than meets the eye. The vast majority of the pay off is pension payments due under the terms of his contract which was signed off by the previous board. Whether there was other illegal activity or not would not necessarily impact on the terms of that contract. I'd actually be amazed if there were any clauses relating to certain behaviours meaning the contract would be breached given how lax corporate governance clearly was. 

If that's the case, and I don't know if it was, then getting out of that contract would be hugely difficult. The law may well be an ass in circumstances like that but it's still the law, much as it's infuriating. Whether individuals may face charges due to other aspects of of company law wouldn't automatically negate pension entitlements for example. 

All people have done is think that may be the case. None of us are experts but when you have the likes of Stuart Gilhooly and Niamh Brennan who are actually experts suggesting that may be the case then it's worth considering that they may be correct. But no, you knowv best. It's laughable carry on. 

I would hope that a clause has been negotiating in the settlement deal that states there is a comeback in the result of a criminal conviction. Again, whether that would have been possible, I don't know.

It's less than 48 hours since you asked about proof of misappropriation of funds in the FAI. If I were you I'd keep the head down for a bit.
