The Art of Drowning

I play with the FM Formation update and notice that in the Irish league Bohemians have £12m in the Bank with around £2.5m available to spend on players.

Could make for an interesting game maybe but what I want to know is, what's the story behind this in real life?

From wiki:

In 2006 the club's members decided to sell Dalymount Park for development in a €60,000,000 deal which will instantly put the club in unprecedented financial wealth in Irish sporting terms. The deal includes the development of a new 10,000 seater stadium in Harristown, near Dublin Airport.

thanks for that, pretty interesting stuff there. I think they could be quite a fun team to manage then.
