FAI meet to discuss Rooney’s position

THE position of embattled chief executive, Fran Rooney, will be discussed at a specially convened FAI board of management meeting in Dublin today.

Last night, the chief executive admitted on RTÉ’s Prime Time that he had yet to read a letter sent to him yesterday by FAI president Milo Corcoran.

But asked if he would step down from his job, Rooney insisted: “I’m a fighter and what I want to do is make sure that the Genesis report is implemented. It’s the key issue here for the fans, for the grassroots and for football.”
