No, and for the same reason why I dislike MK Dons or OKC Thunder
Fuck stealing clubs from their fans.
Probably a nice bandwagon to start but then I reckon once the Dons inevitably ended up getting relegated they’d fade away. The stadium would have been full of Irish Man United and Liverpool fans supporting the away team. Mix in a bit of Arsenal, Villa and Everton too.
Would’ve been a disaster for our own league too.
No
I may have come around if they had a good track record of developing good Irish players.
Not Dunphy’s finest hour.
Johan Cruyff was an ambassador for this whole thing and in his autobiography he basically blasts the Irish public as morons for not getting behind it!
people would have gone to matches. but only to see the opposition play.
​
if they were successful, eventually there would be some ‘home’ fans.
