A statement from Derry City says they don't think the FAI's proposed financial support package for League of Ireland clubs is fair.
As part of talks to restart the SSE Airtricity League season - the FAI asked the four Premier Division clubs due to play in Europe to share 100 thousand euro each of their UEFA prize-money.
Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians are the other three clubs.
Derry say they are 'not convinced' the proposed distribution is equitable and that their commitment to keeping staff and players on full salary during the pandemic isn't being properly recognised.
