Matt Doherty’s €15m transfer to Tottenham Hotspur helped fast-track the major infrastructural alliance Bohemians announced yesterday in conjunction with Dublin City University.

The Gypsies proved wise negotiators for inserting a sell-on clause in the €80,000 sale of the rookie back to Wolves in 2010, banking them €1.5m when the Ireland full-back was snapped up by Jose Mourinho last summer.
