Delaney admits ‘grave’ Derry City concerns

THE crisis at Derry City has deepened with FAI chief executive John Delaney saying he has “grave concerns” about the situation at the cash-strapped club.

Speculation is now mounting that Derry could face relegation from the Premier Division should the FAI decide to impose tough sanctions for possible financial irregularities, while some observers have even begun to question the very survival of the club as a going concern.

Late last night, the FAI confirmed it has called a specially convened board meeting tomorrow to discuss the crisis.
