Cork City to take on Bohemians and St Patrick’s Athletic to take on Derry City on opening night
That’s an annual salary of €62,400 to headline the greatest league in the world. With a total prize fund of €430,000, Rovers will bank just €125,000 if they emulate Jim McLaughlin’s four-in-a-row side from the 1980s.
Cork City return to the top flight under new ownership as Dermot Usher provides manager Colin Healy with enough funds to build a competitive squad that now includes Swedish trio Albin Winbo, Kevin Čustović and Daniel Krezic. “I don’t want to give any commitment,” said Minister of State for Sport Thomas Byrne. “We’ve gone through a whole load of gambling regulations in the last few months so I’m not certain I want to go there yet. But it’s a matter for the Minister for Finance.”
“You know by the way [Murphy] passes the ball to you that he is going to be a good player,” veteran Pats striker Eoin Doyle told LOI Central. Whatever happens next, Brexit has been kind to the league by forcing Irish talent to stay home until they turn 18. This allowed Jamie Mullins to develop at Bohemians, until Brighton came in, and Aidomo Emakhu at Rovers, until Millwall signed him.
