With the regular furore on here about Irish people investing in British soccer what about a rumoured Dundalk consortium investing in Shels?:eek:
Has ollie maintained contacts from his smuggling days with some of the more colourful characters from up your way;)
Not quite, Shels have been associated with a Dundalk man (but dub based)called Donnelly (Fruit importers) for decades now, and invested heavily into shels as he was close to ollie byrne.
The Donnelly in question died some time ago and I think his family are now going back for more. the obvious question was often asked by dlk fans why didnt he/or his family invest in his home town team, and the answer given ??????
they were never asked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

How would a consortium get at Tolka by going through Shels, if Tolka's already gone? ;)
Didn't know he was from Dundalk originally.
Alot of people in that line of business in Dublin seem to be!
Are Dundalk actively seeking out investors? Were people in Dundalk aware of this guy and the possiblity of him investing in Irish Football?
