@finnegan_laura Where does the $ come from to pay grassroots coaches? The FA or player fees ?

@fc_maryland From the sources mentioned above primarily, also clubs seek sponsorship for added help. I’m not sure of the % that comes from player fees.

@finnegan_laura That would mean money from local councils. Can't see that happening. Gaa more likely to get anything there I would have thought. More powerful. Fai should be doing more canvassing though.

@finnegan_laura @coachingbadges Second time in a fortnight I’ve heard of a small nation excelling at international level with professional grassroots coaches. As a former club chairman, I’ve lost count of the number of coaches who used volunteerism as an excuse for mediocrity.

@finnegan_laura What can @sportscotland @theSNP be doing to create more meaningful paid jobs for coaches. Highly qualified practitioners at all stages SUPPORTED by volunteers. Undervalued for too long!
