Another own goal for the FAI as board takes issue with interim CEO's comments

FAI once more finds itself embroiled in a bad-tempered dispute of its own making

IN THE FIRING LINE: Gary Owens, FAI Interim Chief Executive

One step forward, another lurch backwards. On it goes for the FAI which once more finds itself embroiled in a bad-tempered dispute of its own making. It is truly the organisation that could start an argument in an empty room.

How ironic that this latest contretemps should arise out of a two-hour media briefing by interim CEO Gary Owens on Wednesday, the very purpose of which was to calm the waters and get everyone on board and paddling their canoes in the one direction on such a crucial week.
