New Dundalk owner John Temple admits he’s in firefighting mode after taking ownership of a club deep in debt and relegation trouble.

Boston-based Dubliner Brian Ainscough confirmed the existence of the club was at stake this week due to a cashflow crisis and the plea resulted in a preferred consortium led by the Barrister being chosen to take on his 80% stake.
