The money involved is not going to change things wholesale at Rovers, in my view, but it does give a degree of security for the immediate future of the club.
I also don't think this is necessarily bad news for the rest of LOI as investment into the league can have a knock on effect (provided it's not just invested in players wages!!). Desmond clearly didn't fancy investing in cork and dundalk have peak6 so who else was credible?
Pat's have kelliher and both bohs and shels have the ongoing stadium issue so not the best time at the moment for them I guess.
The Rovers board are fairly hard nosed at this stage and won't accede power of the club to any flash Harry who turns up. The memory of 20+ years of nomadic existence has not been forgotten by any means.
And now that O'Donnell is there you'd expect pat's to get dundalk cast offs instead of Rovers!
