eircom League to launch review

The eircom League will today launch its own review of its structures and what it believes is a blueprint for the way forward for the ailing League.

Genesis – the company who famously reviewed the FAI in the aftermath of the 2002 World Cup – were called in by the League to make a report and recommendations on how to go forward.

Top of the recommendations is that there is a return to a 10-team Premier Division with two regional divisions below rather than the current First Division. The report also recommends a salary cap, greater marketing of the League and more ground-sharing by Dublin clubs.

The report will be officially unveiled today with clubs expected to vote on whether to accept its proposals in the coming months.
