“John Temple, who hails from Avenue Road in Dundalk, will lead a consortium of investors who have agreed to underwrite the players’ current wages until the end of the season and will examine the viability of the club and its facilities going forward,” read a club statement on Tuesday evening.Shamrock Rovers continue renaissance with victory over Galway United
Despite being bottom of the Premier Division table with only six matches remaining, Temple immediately gave his full support to manager Jon Daly, who has been in charge for just 15 games. Silverlane stated last year: “We have a vision - to develop the club and its facilities to a central hub of activity, at the heart of the community, and to lead us back to becoming an unparalleled football club both on and off the pitch. We want to bring the club to a Uefa category four venue in an effort to compete with Tallaght Stadium for both national and European games.”
“Lessons will be taken away from this process that any future transfer of ownership that loophole will be closed.”
