Oh I know he is still at Limerick fc, wouldnt sell, put unrealistic figures on the club to discurage interest and so Treaty happened. So he really didnt want to go. If P6 really want out of Dundalk then they have to be realistic eg not look for more than they spent buying the club as if they are leaving a club in a stronger position than when they bought in.
Don't want to drag the thread off topic but you'd have to wonder where POS is at
There cant be any value in LFC now as youd imagine if he got a licence for 2022 the old Limerick FC support would stick with Treaty at this stage
So what's this I read about a local consortium taking over
Depends on which rumour ye pick. Peak6 are splashing out on another club though....
This comment gave a bit of a laugh, like never heard this before
"As well as great opportunities, we hope PEAK6 can help bring Fosun Sports and Wolves knowledge, wisdom and learning, and support Fosun Sports to become a sports industry group with global influence and much success."

Surprised no-one has mentioned this - anyone know whether there's anything in it?
A consortium linked to the ownership of Northern Irish side Glentoran are in pole position to take over the running of Dundalk from Peak6.
The controversial American owners have interest from three sources and a decision on the direction of the club is expected in the near future - possibly as early as the next week.
Local parties had come together to form a bid with tech firm Statsports in a group that included former owner Andy Connolly and other figures in the area.
Dubliner Dermot Usher, who recently stepped down as CEO of family business SONAS Bathrooms as part of a buyout of the company, has been looking at Dundalk as a possible investment project and had been in talks with the local group about going in together but they couldn't find common ground.
It's understood that Usher had subsequently looked at the idea of putting money into the club to work alongside Peak6 - but he would have control of the Irish operation.
However, the group with Northern Irish connections is now best placed to assume control of the club.

Its been alluded to, no shortage of comment on Orielweb and the controversial connections between the Glens main owner and a certain boxing promoter.
Is there not a Kinnehan angle to the Glentoran ownership ?
He made his money in Nightclubs and such in South Wales, also in healthcare.
Think he may have been involved in Racing too. Recently set up a Boxing Company with the ex- CEO of Golden Boy (Who Jason Quigley is signed to)but not seen any mention of MTK(the company Kinahan is supposedly behind) in the Boxing press i've just had a look through.

Its not new news, Probellum is a merge between Shams Pour and the company formerly known as MTK/D Kinehan. A Panorama show later and MTK has gone through a few name changes since. Whether the football and boxing world can be separated in terms of people associated which each other I suppose is down to the individual, but there is is no denying that there are overlaps that I myself am not comfortable with at all. It has nothing to do with Glentoran, I think this could end up being a sports story that is far bigger than Glentoran or Dundalk depending on who buys the club. It will be uncomfortable for people at SKY, Everlast, even the two other big boxing stables that are not connected to MTK among others. For anyone interested look at registered trademarks eg Probellum in the UK, the companies involved, name changes, accounts, the top dog at MTK or whatever they are called now. There is a concerning infiltration in to legitimate sporting bodies with questionable finances. Footballer agency seems to be a newer project. I doubt there is need to link various bits 'n pieces, people can have a search themselves and make their minds up!

'The DNA in Dundalk was all about the community' - Vinny Perth pleas with Peak6 to sell Dundalk to 'right people'
He means StatSports & Andy Connolly of course ...
Who is to say selling the club to the community is necessarily the best for the community?
Worked out great for Bohs for example, who promptly sold their ground 17 times.
