The owner said he came in and cleared the debt. If he was going to do that and had ambitions on playing in Europe it wouldn't make sense to dump the old club entirely. Then again I've no idea how trustworthy he is.

Ah, well in that case. Depends how they did it I guess - I find it hard to believe there haven't been 'new entities' in this league that got into Europe before.

Weren’t Derry banned from European competition because of the breach in rules which led to their relegation.
I’m sure there’s a loophole somewhere, and of course JD won’t let us down
We just have to do it on the pitch ourselves anyway, id still be happy with us finishing 5th / 6th. Our squad is thin and our key players at either end are both on short term loans.
Its actually a great point that Outspoken raised previously. Waterford never went bust. Wasn't the reason they changed their name was cos their crowds had reduced to 230 fans the season before last and Lee Power was aware when Waterford FC had their glory era in the 70s it was under Waterford FC and reckoned it would be better to change back to their old name.
I think this rule that barred Derry a few years back is very harsh as we all know its the same club. Is there a time bar on this type on stuff?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
FORMER Communications manager, Nigel and not the first time he was wrong
Yeah we've been told (and I'm wary that I'm completely jinxing it just by mentioning it) that IF we were to qualify for Europe, there's no issue with us playing in it. As other posters have said, I think it's to do with the holding company not being wound up.
I went for 6th for Waterford, but they look to be a much better side that Pats who I have in at 5th, like anything its hard to predict at the start.
I would think they should be well capable of holding on to a top 4 spot based on what I've seen to date, especially that performance in Oriel Park, but as per above comments, any key movement out of players and/or injuries and the back up might look to be little limited. This is where the squad of both Dundalk and Cork will probably see both push ahead more, but to be fair Waterford have fairly stuck with it, and if they get a good result tonight, the dream continues...............
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Always nice to bump this at the end of the season to see just how badly wrong my predictions have been.
