QUIZ: Who said it - John Delaney or David Brent?

Trust, encouragement, reward, loyalty…Satisfaction

FAI CHIEF EXECUTIVE John Delaney has been talking a good bit lately.

He’s had to deal with revelations about a €5 million payment from FIFA, say his piece about outgoing President Sepp Blatter, all right in the middle of matches against England and Scotland.

However, some of his utterances over the years have borne an uncanny resemblance to that other famous boss man – Wernham Hogg Regional Manager David Brent, from The Office.

So, can you tell which leader of men said these?

You grow up, you work half a century, you get a golden handshake, you rest a couple of years and you're dead.
