Hmm this could be good

:popcorn:

:thinking:

Iā€™ve seen comments on Twitter about it relating to Rio ticket touting ?

Dela is saying he provided the FAI with a bridging loan.

What a guy

A 100k bridging loan :grin:
The FAI turn over 10s of millions a year but they needed 100k from Delaney

They should ask him about paying rent

Wow I thought it was a bad day for Irish rugby but it turns out that the FAI nearly went bust. Woah thatā€™s rough.

Mark Tighe was selling this as a revelation on twitter, but it turns out Mr Delaney just wanted to dip into his own pocket and help football in Ireland in private.

Ah thatā€™s a benefactor we can all be very, very proud of.

100k, crikey thatā€™s grim.

Does the FAI not have a bank facility?

Someone sold them a pup on financing lansdowne road

Who paid the costs for the court action tonight ?

I am sure we would have all done the same for our employers when they faced cash flow difficulties kudos to Mr Delaney

Anyone here an ex Bank of Ireland employee who set up the loan facilities with the FAI?

There must have been challenging financial covenants built into the deal (and some would say rightfully so given the FAIā€™s travails in the past.)

Fantastic to see Dela personally step in though.
