TAKEOVER AGREED WITH JOHN TEMPLE

Dundalk Football Club is delighted to announce that a takeover of the club has been agreed upon between Brian Ainscough and Dundalk native John Temple.

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.

“Dundalk is a football town and the club is hugely important to all the staff, players and supporters,” said John Temple.

“We appreciate the concerns raised by all of our supporters in recent weeks and it has underscored what the club means to every one of them.”

Acknowledging the club’s current position in the league table, Temple said: “We are fully supportive of Jon Daly and the team to get the results required on the pitch. I am more concerned right now about getting the off-field matters sorted.

“We are very grateful to Minister Thomas Byrne who has pledged the Government’s support for our Sports Capital Grant application, which is most welcome, and this is the silver lining for today’s takeover announcement.

“A new Board of Directors will be appointed in the coming weeks and a meeting will take place with staff and players in the next week when everything is finalised.

“Today is a proud day for all associated with Dundalk Football Club.”

C’mon the Town!
