John Delaney/ tugging off half the forum

Because if it was used against the stadium it would be normal/obligatory to match it against repayments on the stadium loan so it would hit the accounts at the time of the related loan tranches.

Slow down there a second. What are you trying to say here? How would how they use the money and all this other jibber jabber youā€™re going on with here actually ā€œamortiseā€ the loan?

Huh?

They would use the money they got in to offset loan repayments going out. And therefore it would be in the accounts over the time equal to equivalent payments out that it was funding or part-funding.

That wouldnā€™t mean that the ā€œloanā€ they got from FIFA was ā€œamortisedā€

Genuine question @Rocko why would you amortise a loan you arenā€™t paying back? The amount owed isnā€™t falling.

The way certain posters are trying to create angles to attack John Delaney is sickening. Heā€™s a great man and his commitment to Irish football should not be questioned.

I really donā€™t like this line of questioning and mud slinging.

It would.

Itā€™s the same thing really. You take in ā‚¬5m. You donā€™t recognise it as revenue until it become due. When it does you recognise it, but if itā€™s used for capital or for funding you recognise it at the same time as the outgoings it is funding.

ā€œRegardless of the good he claims to have done during his tenure, he has to recognise that Fifa(FAI) has an incredibly bad brand image,ā€

ā€œIf he was doing the right thing by football, which he says he cares and loves, then he should step aside and let somebody else come forward and improve the image of the world(Irish) game,ā€

ā€œThere is a permanent controversy at Fifa(FAI).ā€

In fairness to him he stood up to Step Ladder.

Itā€™s an extremely odd national and international reaction to the story.[/QUOTE]
Ah come on now, no itā€™s not. Head of football association spends a week telling everybody who would listen how FIFA is corrupt and Blatter is a cunt and we need transparency and then it comes out that FIFA gave said football association ā‚¬5m in shady circumstances that nobody knew about and that there are question marks as to whether they accounted for it or not. And you find it strange that this is newsworthy given what has happened with FIFA in the last couple of weeks?

ā€œfumbling in the greasy till, adding the haā€™pence to the penceā€.

Not that itā€™s newsworthy but the nature of the reaction.

Liveline is on now and itā€™s gas. Some lad on complaining we should have accepted nothing other than a replay or becoming the 33rd team and he sold us out. Others on saying itā€™s a disgrace, we should have just taken our medicine and we had no right to anything. And they donā€™t realise theyā€™re arguing opposite points, theyā€™re just all throwing the same words around.

If people continue with this character assassination of Delaney then itā€™s going to have an impact on my e-friendship with them. I donā€™t like seeing good people being dragged through the mire, unfairly.

I donā€™t want to have anything to do with these people, so continue if you wish but know that it will come at a cost.

amortise is to decrease the value ?..how does a loan amortise if you make no repayments ?.

:rolleyes:

Just like our John, you are a man of integrity and honour :clap:

According to Newstalk, just there, it seems they took ā‚¬1 million in 2011 & ā‚¬4 million in 2013 as ā€œincomeā€.
Aside from the shadiness of hiding it in income, how can you classify it as income in 2011 when youā€™ve no idea whether it needs to be paid back or not.
You seem to imply people are making a big deal out of it for no reason when clearly there is all sorts of questions to be answered.
