Im just after reading the genesis report and also watching basle, a swiss team qualify for the second phase of the champions league and wonder if ever an eircom league side can do the same.
In the report there are some very positive aspects about the league and recommendations to help it to expand and become more professional. In truth whether this will happen is very much up top the fai and the changes they make.
The premiership is much bigger than the el here no one can deny and i think certain people in the league need to recognise this and stop day dreaming that some of the top irish teams could compete in the premiership. However, i think irish teams have badly underperformed in europe of late espeically in recent years and i think this needs to be addressed.
I honestly believe irish teams could perform, well in the uefa cup and maybe one day repeat basle's achievements in the champ league with a bit more support from the public and the government.
