    Just heard on Newstalk that John Delaney who has links with Waterford and Waterford Utd has agreed to take a 10% pay cut to do his job in the FAI. How will the poor man now live of €360,000 a year. At Waterford United's next home game and at the first round of games in the new Junior League Season, would it be idea if someone held a bucket collection and help him bring back some of what he is giving up.

    Seriously, How can anybody justify themselves getting such money in this day and age.

    What's the issue here, wouldn't it be worse if he decided to award himself a 10% rise.

    Apparently Fran Rooney brought in th is ridiculous salary when he was in charge,one would assume around the 100 k mark would be where the salary should be by looking at other nations.

    I don't think this is paid by the tax payer, so its a private agreement. No?

    Would you turn it down if offered to you?

    Honest Answer - If someone offered me €360,000 or €400,00 a year to do a job, would i take it?

    NO. I would turn it down. I am not motivated in one way or another by money. I am happy to get by on just enough money that i need each week that i need to put food on the table and pay the bills. I dont think anybody is worth that sort of money.

    The money comes from some place, IE the fans. I am sure that the fans would much prefer to see this money go into the clubs rather than to one individual. If clubs like St James Gate, Kilkenny City, Monaghan United were given just a small amount of this money, maybe they might be still playing League of Ireland. I heard someone from Waterford United on the radio today with Kevin Casey and they were saying that they are finding things tough. Was it five weeks they said they went without a home game, meaning that little or no income was coming in to the club in that length of time. If they were give say €5,000 to €10,000 a year out of what Delaney is getting, I am sure it would help them in no small way to balance their books.

    Was it five weeks without a home game? you tell us, you posted it here.

    I'm no fan of Delaney but then again I'm no fan of any FAI head guys but under Delaney Ireland qualified for a major tournment, missed out on another after a play off, they've earned a lot of money under his stewardship. It's because of him that a lot more clubs haven't gone out of business. Also, if the people of Kilkenney, Monaghan or Galway won't support their clubs they can't blame Delaney, sorry shouldn't balme Delaney but of course they will.

    Delaney is far from perfect but to criticise him for taking a 10% is pathetic. And for the record I'm not a Waterford man in case people think I'm supporting the local man.

    Well to put things in perspective i think the head of the Spanish FA is getting about 100,000 a year, I heard this quite recently but i cant say what the exact figure is, around the 100,000 mark, Still he's getting paid too much like most people at the top, Enda gets more than Obama and our politicians get paid too much,
    The social welfare system isnt insentivised either.
