In the 2 seasons that Peak6 took over, Dundalk have won the league title by more than 10 points and have captured 2 leagues, 1 FAI Cup, & 1 League Cup - or 4 out of the 6 major trophies available.
Dundalk have had closer competition from Cork over the period 2014 - 2018 than what has emerged so far from anyone else. Hopefully in 2020 Rovers or somone else will be able to push Dundalk domestically in a way that could be beneficial for European performances
The key for Peak6 is likely to be trying to make progress in Europe and they appear willing to invest in the squad in pursuit of that
