John Delaney/ tugging off half the forum

The complexities go far beyond the number of employees in the FAIā€™s case.

Who else would have got that ā‚¬5m for absolutely fuck all?

I would imagine he was overpaid, but wouldnā€™t be so sure about using that website as your evidence. A lot of holes in it.

How many of those CEOs pocketed ā‚¬5m for their organisation in a remarkable piece of business. Dela has effectively paid his salary for 13 years without any onus on his organisation.

Ah sure lookit. Sure you canā€™t argue with that like.

If this is indeed correct and Bate Borisov and the LOI winners earn the same amount in prize money (ā‚¬110k for LOI winners) then this is very interesting. The head of the Belarusian FA earns 35k while also having a sideline of being the countryā€™s Prime Minister compared to John Delaneyā€™s meagre 360k.

In summary Delaney earns 300% of what the domestic league winners earn in prize money while in Belarus Delaneyā€™s equivalent earns 30% of what the domestic league winners are awarded.

An incredible og from @Cicero_Dandi to justify John Delaneyā€™s salary.

The cost of living in Belarus is much lower.

Somebody else who was in a loose confederation with a corrupt organization at its center.

Letā€™s stick to the facts.

John Delaney got ā‚¬5m because a referee missed a handball.

As embarrassing as the carry on was at the time, it was worth it for the FAI.

You brought Belarus into it

Does the 5m compensate for all his other failings?

If the head of the Belarus FA earns ā‚¬35,000 that means heā€™s getting 8 times the average annual salary in Belarus. That would be similar to Dela and Belarus have never qualified for anything.
Ireland under Delaney is massively outperforming really.

What other failings mate?

No other commercial organization would have made that payment. So describing it as a great bit of business is a bit of a misnomer. It was hush money designed to compromise the FAI.

Hush money for what? A bad refereeing decision?

Compromise what ?

Worked really well considering that John Delaney did not support Sep Blatter.

But I guess thereā€™s a narrative to maintain.

The FAI.

Irrelevant. A like for like comparison is Prize Money : Salary of FA Head

Belarus = 1 : 0.3
Ireland = 1 : 3.0

BS.

If it was hushing anything, it was to stop legal action over FIFA changing the playoff rules.

It was a good bit of advocacy by Delaney. The fact that it was treated as a disgrace by the Irish media was mind boggling.

He has failures but that was very very strange.

I think youā€™re forgetting the point you originally made yourself. Heā€™s paid 35k for being Prime Minister. Running the FA is a hobby of his.

Sepp Blatter could make a laugh of the Paddies and then buy them off by throwing a few bob at them. Paddy is so pathetic he folds up the few bob and pockets it.
