St Patrick’s Athletic host Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division on Sunday. Kick-off at Richmond Park is 6.00pm
John Russell believes Sligo Rovers are getting purchase for thinking outside the box in their battle with the league’s fat cats.
“We’re in a league where the majority of the clubs are owned by private investors or benefactors and we’re an outlier,” said Russell.“The fans are digging deep and I’m always pushing the club to get more players in and to see if we can make it more professional. But Russell is hoping a connection with the likes of Arsenal can help put Sligo Rovers on the map, in the absence of a sugar daddy.
“And also for Arsenal to see how he settles here, and our relationship as a club with Arsenal for future players. “To get Fabrice Hartmann in from Red Bull Leipzig, that was probably unheard of for a League of Ireland club to get a player from a club of that size.
