Derry chief exits in ‘dual contract’ row

DERRY CITY chairman Pat McDaid last night sensationally quit his post at the Brandywell and also leaving the club will be fellow directors Joe Doherty, Peter Leonard and Frank Houston.

The events unfolded while a delegation of nine Derry players were meeting FAI Chief Executive John Delaney, League Director Fran Gavin and PFAI Chief Stephen McGuinness at the Association’s Abbotstown headquarters.

There they attempted to unravel the ‘dual contracts’ mystery at the club which last Saturday led to the expulsion of the Candystripes from the League of Ireland.
