Cooke: FAI ‘genuinely on road to reform’

The new Vice President of the FAI, Paul Cooke, has said that he believes the Association is “genuinely on the road to reform”.

The Chartered Accountant has a background as a senior executive in Irish business and media but it was as a director of Waterford United and a member of the FAI Council that he achieved prominence in football circles as an outspoken critic of how the organisation was being run long before the current crisis erupted.
