Quinn plan will soon go to FAI

Niall Quinn, spearheading plans to revamp domestic football, has had a second meeting with FAI Competitions Director Fran Gavin, and now hopes that the group the former Irish international represents will soon be in a position to put its proposals formally to the association.

“In fairness to Fran they are open to having a look at what some good people are suggesting,” says Quinn. “You’re trying to package something for potential change and you just can’t go in on a whim, it has to be well prepared. We hope to present a document to the FAI soon and hopefully that will lead to a further conversation. After that, it’s up to the FAI and if they like it, or like a bit of it even, then great. Then maybe the FAI can go to the clubs.”
