If there is more money in the Irish game, then surely they would be able to keep/attract better players and bring in better managers/coaches. Sure, they wont be able to keep the top players but perhaps you wont loose players to lower English Championship or Div One teams if the wages are increased and the standard improves.
the grounds were stuffed 40 years ago by all accounts and the suits put none of it back into the game ... very bad infrastructure , no support for the Dublin District Schoolboy League - the world biggest I think .... they make the English FA look like the perfect machine
