Simple fact is that if it were not for deals such as that or the friendlies over the years or all the other deals schemes and begging that he has done..
The current shels team would not be as good and we would not be sitting pretty on top of the league with 4 games to go..
Clubs need to get money and if you want to turn down the offer that man utd gave us then you would be mad....
As well as the money aspect of the deal..
Shels youth setup (which is who benefited most, not man utd) is going from strength to strength..
The under 21's at the moment won their section with 3 games to spare over bohs,,
The training and the money got from that deal far outweighed any moral stance you may like to take.. and its one of the reason (of many ) that shels currently find themselves going to 2 in a row and looking for another Champions League run ...
If you Brian and Pat and the people at Cork can go win leagues without investing in the youths then bring it on and show everyone how it is done
