FAI will clear Aviva debts by 2020, says Delaney
And there were no fears expressed at the association’s AGM in Wexford on Saturday that Irish football could be facing into 10 years of living dangerously as, having heard the latest financial report, a succession of delegates from the floor hailed the delivery of the new stadium and praised the stewardship of chief executive John Delaney.
Afterwards, exchanges with asceptical media were rather less cordial but Delaney again insisted the association can meet its repayments on the stadium while continuing to fund the game in Ireland by “living within our means” and generating sponsorship and other sources of revenue.
