Seems like a mixed bag in terms of what other clubs have done - Cobh look like they are really going for it (seems like they have signed half of cork city’s squad at this stage), treaty look like they are spending a bit more too. Athlone and Wexford could struggle though as both have lost a lot of key players.
As for Dundalk, surprisingly they now look clear favorites with the signings they have made - how is beyond me though given their debts and need to generate profits this season. Looks like they have a lot of full time players and management too. I think they may be overestimating their crowds this season - averaged 2,800 in premier and benefited from Louth derby and 4 Dublin clubs visiting regularly also. They won’t get many away gates in 1st division and I’m sure their own support will drop 20% also. Can’t see them getting over 2k average. They still have a lot of financial troubles - the season could have many twists and turns in it.
