Former Dundalk FC chairman John Temple has signalled potential legal action against current owner Chris Clinton over a failure to pay the full purchase price for ownership of the club. 

Temple helped Dundalk out of a tough period, rescuing them from liquidation in September 2024, before handing over control of the club to Clinton - previously a minority shareholder - on October 30 of this year.
