    Agree. You can get some absolutely outstanding craft beers in the USA . Including some palatable IPA's. Its not the 80's when you couild only get Bud or its local equivalent,.

    Acun's there.

    Seems we might be having a look at Shelbourne now after Dundalk fans don't seem keen

    No. They all sound pretty foreign to me.

    Yes, it's the same division so players would be tested as much at Dundalk. The facilities and amount of investment needed would be a factor in deciding where to go I feel.

    But I noticed there's only 10 teams in that division, so players wouldn't be testing themselves against that many opponents. The Scottish Premiership has more than that.

    I'm also puzzled at the idea from some Dundalk supporters that an owner doesn't influence the way a team play. I'm pretty sure someone who buys ownership has a major influence in who the manager is, and likely on who hires the players too. That doesn't mean they become the manager, but if they put their money in they are going to have an influence. Owners don't buy for some charitable purpose, they do it because they want to have fun with the excess money they have. The main point is to have owners who have ambition.

    Can understand why fans of any club would be apprehensive, nobody want's to feel like they're second fiddle. Dudnalk especially have had 5 owners in the last 10 years, so they have more reason than most.

    Feel like if Acun spoke to the fans and laid out his vision he could win them over though.

    Yes, but would they mind if it was Arsenal? I just think a Premier League team would probably use a bigger league.

    Probably not.

    But I don't think any of the big teams would have any interest in buying an Irish side

    Yes, I think they would. We in England are already conditioned to sell out to foreign investors and focus on success on the pitch. Dundalk is very much a local club for local people, I think it’s different.
