FAI statement ahoy! Meanwhile, the word on Twitter is that the Football Association of Ireland will be releasing yet another statement tonight regarding the controversy surrounding an apparent “bridging loan” given by their chief executive, John Delaney, to his employers, the FAI (no, really) back in 2017.
It’s worth noting that the FAI have form in the field of releasing statements late on Saturday night, usually in an attempt to get in front of a story they know is going to be published about them in the next day’s papers. Indeed, they did the exact same thing last Saturday after Delaney failed in an attempt to get a High Court injunction to stop the Sunday Times publishing the story which revealed he had written a personal cheque to the association for €100,000.
We’re expecting a significant FAI statement this evening but there’s still no certainty at all on the detail of it.
