Delaney still on payroll, could return despite FAI board agreeing to step down

Ex-FAI chief executive John Delaney is still on the soccer body’s payroll and could technically return to a senior role, despite the entire FAI board agreeing to step down by July.

Sport Ireland confirmed Mr Delaney will continue to be paid by the FAI while on voluntary “gardening leave”, after the shock news all other senior officials will leave within three months.
