So you reckon a new Dublin club with a generic locality name being backed by lots of external money to gather together some big names is the only solution for the League of Ireland?

I'll say again, franchising doesn't necessarily have to involve this.

absolutely ORA and my post worked under the assumption that the existing clubs would be tied to the FAI. Maybe franchise is the wrong term but i didnt mention anything about changing existing clubs.
