Business of Sport: Shamrock Rovers's Ray Wilson

Like most League of Ireland clubs, Shamrock Rovers has experienced financial difficulties over the years. Two years ago Australia-based businessman Ray Wilson invested €1.5 million in the club and mapped out a strategy. But how has it worked out? Ray was in town last week for The Hoops European tie against Swedish league leaders AIK, and he sat down with Ciarán Hancock and Michael O'Keeffe to talk about the challenge of building up the club and the League of Ireland in general, and plans for a Shamrock Rovers academy near the club's stadium in Tallaght.But first it's a business of sport roundup with Michael O'Keeffe, including the sportswear boom, strong results for the IRFU and Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Juventus.
