Is this something you heard from someone or has it been reported? Seems like it could be a step a year or two too early for Kerry. Maybe they could prove me wrong and investing now and being competitive in a weak first division could be smart move to increase support.

I really hope they aren't putting themselves in huge debt this early in their senior football life.

Cian Murphy, at any rate, has signed from Cobh:

Technically, Wall has enough of a personal fortune to underwrite the budget, but one presumes that there will only be new arrivals to offset the departures from earlier this month, with Hakkinen and Murphy direct replacements for McQueen and Cleary, for instance.

I've heard it from sources I'd trust.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Karl O'Sullivan on the way to Kerry next. They've significantly increased their budget.
