A date has been set for a courtroom battle between FAI boss John Delaney and a former Finn Harps manager Patsy McGowan.
Ballybofey man McGowan is suing the FAI boss over claims that he has been prevented from making a living as a sports pundit.
The case is to be heard at the High Court in Dublin on November 27 and 28th.
Among those set to give evidence in the case is former FAI boss Brendan Menton – John Delaney’s predecessor.
Other witnesses including Irish soccer managers Roddy Collins and Dermot Keely may also be called as witnesses.
McGowan, who led Finn Harps to FAI Cup glory, claims that Mr Delaney and the FAI threatened to sue two newspapers which Mr McGowan was writing for in previous years.
In court papers the former manager says that he was prevented from earning a living because of the threats by Mr Delaney and the FAI.
He is now seeking compensation and an apology from Mr Delaney and the FAI.
