Delaney refuses to budge on Kerr contract issue

FAI chief executive John Delaney refused to comment on whether talks with Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr on a new contract were planned.

Kerr revealed over the weekend that he believes the Association will leave him “dangling” with speculation that the FAI does not want talks on a new contract, until Ireland’s World Cup fate is known.

However, Delaney steadfastly refuses to talk about contract issues relating to any FAI employees and maintained that stance yesterday.
