The last few months for Irish football:
- Sacked Stephen Kenny last November
- FAI takes 7 months to find replacement
- 4 friendlies in that time for John O’Shea to audition for the job
- End up hiring their “first-choice” manager who happens to be a dentist
- Heimir decides he doesn’t know enough about the players so doesn’t pick squad/team or do all the press conferences
- 0 goals in 180 minutes
- 4 goals conceded
- No clear structure on pitch
- Facing Nations League relegation
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles
Meanwhile, the League of Ireland champions get just over €100k for winning it. They also rely on European revenue where games don’t even get shown on Irish TV. Only country in Europe that happens in.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the FAI have well and truly failed Irish football.
What a mess.
