John Delaney wishes Georgia was the only thing on his mind

John Delaney is still likely to be paid a six-figure salary in his newly created role as the FAI’s executive vice-president, but it’s “substantially less” than the €300,000-plus he received as chief executive, the Association pointed out yesterday.

Delaney, pressured by fresh claims yesterday that the FAI paid monthly rent on his accommodation for a number of years, will no longer be in charge of the day-to-day running of the FAI in the wake of an executive reshuffle, but his relationship with the new CEO will be crucial, and watched with interest.
