That squad needs to be dismantled and begun again - I don't expect dundalk to finish any higher than 4th or 5th this season(Rovers, sligo pats,maybe boez) and then your owners might just decide to take their "saccarball" home. You are then beyond screwed if that happens.
I think Bradley sees pats and O'Donnell as the major threat over the next 2yrs - although that could change if O'Donnell leaves for dundalk. Rovers can attract any young player in this country now due to their recent sucess so replacing ageing players (Finn, McCann, OBrien) in future won't be a huge challenge, in my view
