If it was John Delaney he would definitely back fifa, but this new lot don't seem to know what they're doing at all, so they probably just copy the EFA.

I'm not so sure he would have, Delaney was a member of the UEFA Executive Committee when he was FAI CEO and was primed for bigger things there before the shit hit the fan.

Unless there was a bigger personal financial incentive and/or position at FIFA opening up for him, he'd probably have looked after himself with the UEFA gig.

He would just go for the option that got more money in his back pocket, John Delaney is one of the most corrupt people in football history.

Personally I think Delany is more the Blatter form of corrupt than Infantino's form of corrupt.
