It's a muslamic takeover!!!
I honestly think this could be related to all the Saudis who come to Galway to study English. I taught so many of them over the years. That's my crazy theory, anyway.Galway utd dont own their own ground, have an u15, 17 and 19 team that dont have a set training ground, borrow from other local galway team grounds, they rent eamon deacy park from Gfa . Not sure what the attraction is been honest and im from there
Ireland sounds like oil-land sometimes anyway.

Reports say they've promised a e500,000 investment to start.Mad! I wonder where do Galway united go from here so? Windfall for the supporters who owned the majority stake? It would be great to have a more successful football team here to go with the rugby and gaa. Why not?!
Is £500k the extent of the investment or are we talking City/PSG levels? In the case of the latter, would they not be better served breaking away from the IFA and joining the premier league?Reports say they've promised a e500,000 investment to start.
FAI, the IFA is in Northern Ireland. I highly highly doubt they want them in the English system. 500k is huge for the league of Ireland.Is £500k the extent of the investment or are we talking City/PSG levels?

That's why I asked if the initial doping of 500k would be the limit they are prepared to invest, or is that simply a startup fund with plans to invest significantly more further down the road.FAI, the IFA is in Northern Ireland.

All hearsay for now I reckon. This is what came out of the meeting last night. The local weekly paper is out on Thursdays and it'll hopefully have more details.Is £500k the extent of the investment or are we talking City/PSG levels?

Money!All hearsay for now I reckon. This is what came out of the meeting last night. The local weekly paper is out on Thursdays and it'll hopefully have more details.
The club only became fan-controlled 6 months ago I gather, it's a very interesting move for them to give away control again so soon.
Another one hereHow many galway people are posters? I am one.
So nothing concrete then? Just wondering if it's worth placing a bet on Galway United to win the premiership in 2028. Reckon I'd get some tasty odds.All hearsay for now I reckon.

Played against Thomas'es in Thomas'es at minor. Think it was a challenge match. Was marking a Burke fellow, dont think it was david. Years ago at this stage.Hon St. Thomas' :P
To own a club, probably.No disrespect to Galway, but what are the Saudi people actually looking to achieve?
Yeah, I know that, but what are they hoping to achieve?To own a club, probably.
Connemara man here so i wouldnt know one end of a hurl from the other hahaPlayed against Thomas'es in Thomas'es at minor. Think it was a challenge match. Was marking a Burke fellow, dont think it was david. Years ago at this stage.
I've a theory that it's something to do with Saudi students who came here to study English. I used to teach loads of them.No disrespect to Galway, but what are the Saudi people actually looking to achieve?
A way to get Saudi players used of high level european league football before the next world cup. SeriouslyNo disrespect to Galway, but what are the Saudi people actually looking to achieve?
Quite a few people care actually.Yeah, I know that, but what are they hoping to achieve?
Domination of a league no one actually cares about, that won't attract players capable of making a statement other than their own league.
