McCarthy departure ‘no victory for Keane’- FAI chief

FAI treasurer, John Delaney, tonight insisted the departure of Mick McCarthy as manager of the Republic of Ireland had not been a victory for Roy Keane

McCarthy resigned today after six and a half years at the helm, but ultimately it was his highly publicised bust-up with former Republic skipper Keane rather than results which forced the 43-year-old Yorkshireman out of his job.
