Yes.

But apparently he was assured, by the Irish FA, that the legal issue in question was already covered. Only for it to turn out to not be the case. Apparently he went ahead and invested more on the back of the assurances he was given and ultimatley lost a fair whack as a result.

Or somethign like that.

Bad business sense not to have it in writing.
This is a good summary of the issue and Power's view. It was to do with reforming the club and then a 3 year rule applying to play in Europe. One of the other Irish clubs objected and took their place.

John Delaney who made the promise that Waterford would be OK got the boot as FAI CEO and his assurances went with him.

The FAI have been a mess for years, Delaney is facing some serious investigations of the chaos under his tenure and it's likely to take some years to sort out, according to people who know Irish football better than I do
