Not my place BUT
I think an A League team for Monaghan would be great. There's already a strong underage set up, and even ladies sides. The addition of an A league team would further cement your place as the football team in Monaghan. By having an u20 side and an A team, as well as the senior side. Monaghan would be seen to have the best 30-40 players in the county (and obviously surrounding areas like Cavan etc). If the senior side is made up of a mixture of Dubs and locals, the A side would be exclusively for locals and would provide a bridge from schoolboy football into senior football. Its amassive jump for a 19 year old to play LOI and sometimes even the u21 league won't tougen them up. This league should help develop players.
Of course money's tight all around the league so whatever the decision is going to be, it won't be easy.
Good luck
