Would have been nice to see even a fraction of it ploughed into any Irish club, be it Shels/Cork/Sligo/Limerick or whoever. 10% of what they're spending on Villa, and 10% of the £20m minimum transfer kitty a year would make an insane difference... Hell, 5% would be too!


Assuming Irish Club figures as 5% of the Villa totals.

Take over:
Villa: £64,400,000 (€94,805,521)
Irish: €4,740,176

Minimum Annual Transfer Budget:
Villa: £20,000,000 (€29,437,161)
Irish: €1,471,858

Now, looking at those figures, ploughing even LESS than 5% into an Irish club would make a huge difference, i.e:

1% of the 64.4M Sterling take over would be approx 950,000 EURO.
1% of the 20M Sterling trasfer fund would be nearly 300,000 EURO.

And suffice to say, wages wouldn't be as high either.

ONE PERCENT of the money being ploughed into English clubs would make the world of difference to an irish club. ONE fecking percent!!!

Thanks for fleshing out the bones of my argument

Yes but it would encourage others to invest in the EL and other clubs would benefit from that.
P.S. ROsenborg's domination in Norway often mentioned in this context ended when Valerenga won the title last weekend.
In fact this season Rosenborg look to be finishing around 10th... not even mapped.

We ended in 8th position. And preparing to compete for the title next season again ; Rushfeldt may return to Lerkendal!
